Description
Anti-theft device for lab balance is a compact security accessory intended to help protect laboratory balances from unauthorised removal in multi-user or open-access workspaces. Specified for MB, AX, EX and Scout-HD instruments, it belongs to the anti-theft devices product type within balance accessories and does not function as a display unit. The accessory is supplied as one piece, with a net weight of 0,02 kg and a gross weight of 0,157 kg, so it adds minimal mass to the installed balance. Packed dimensions are approximately 0,21 m depth, 0,18 m width and 0,09 m height, giving a packaging volume of about 0,003 m³. In routine laboratory practice it supports physical securing of moisture analysers and precision balances used for sample preparation, formulation and quality checks. This lab-balance anti-theft device from manufacturer Ohaus is aimed at facilities that need simple, dedicated hardware protection for compatible Ohaus platforms. Country of origin is China. It complements standard weighing accessories where instrument security forms part of laboratory asset management.

Questions about Anti-Theft Device Lab Balance
What is this article?
Anti-Theft Device Lab Balance is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ohaus for laboratory use. It sits in Precision balances, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A precision balance reads more coarsely than an analytical balance, often 1 mg or 10 mg, and it takes a heavier pan load. It is the balance for preparing bulk reagents. Draft, level and a warm-up still move the last digit.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
