Sartorius AZ153 milligram scale offers 150 grams weighing capacity with readability to 1 milligram with a 3.9" diameter weigh pan, RS-232 and calibration is achieved by purchasing an
optional 100g calibration weight. Sartorius backs the AZ153 with a 3 year limited manufacturer warranty. You'll see many other balance manufacturer's only have a 1 year warranty and our only guess is their warranty is only 1 year since they don't expect their product last. Purchasing Sartorius you have over 140 years experience building quality balances and the AZ153 is assembled in the USA for those government buyers required to meet the Federal Acquisition Regulation Buy American Clause.
The AZ153 uses a strain gauge loadcell for the weigh sensor. People wanting to buy the AZ153 we would really recommend you purchase the
AZ313 instead since the
AZ313 uses a MFR weighing technology. Magnetic force restoration (MFR) balances deliver accurate and consistent weighing results and less prone to all the creep and drift typical of a loadcell especially when weighing to a milligram. If you don't understand then watch this video
HERE demonstrating a magnetic force restoration balance verses strain gauge scale.
The performance specifications of the Sartorius M-Power series of balances set new accents in the class of compact and affordable laboratory scales. Whether you need to weigh in laboratories, vocational training facilities, classrooms or in the field, with a Sartorius M-Power series balance you'll always have just the right equipment.
Simply easy – zero-error operationThis is where the new models prove their special M-Powers. Just set them up, switch them on and you'll be "on your weigh" – operation doesn't get any easier than this. On top of this are two additional key points that ensure error-free weighing: the high-quality display for easy reading and keys featuring positive click action. These balances have a M-Power for showing weight readouts within seconds. This makes weighing routines a real pleasure, especially when you're dealing with high sample throughputs.
