Description
Ioniser KERN YBI-01A is a laboratory device for neutralising electrostatic charge on non-conductive weighing samples such as plastics, porcelain and glass. Static charge can generate an electromagnetic field between the sample and the balance and distort the indicated mass, in some cases into the gram range. For weighings in the milligram range or finer, neutralisation with this ioniser is therefore recommended before or during the measurement. Adjustable feet allow convenient placement beside the balance, while handheld use lets the operator direct the ion stream at critical samples from several sides. The unit has a net weight of 0,45 kg and a gross weight of 0,70 kg, making it stable on the bench yet still portable between workstations. This ioniser from manufacturer Kern supports accurate analytical and precision weighing where electrostatic effects would otherwise compromise results. It is a practical accessory for pharmaceutical, materials and quality-control laboratories that routinely handle insulating samples on high-resolution balances.

Questions about Ioniser KERN YBI-01A
What is this article?
Ioniser KERN YBI-01A is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
These are the draft shields, the pans, the ionisers, the printers and the calibration certificates that belong to a balance. A certificate states the errors found at stated loads. It does not make a different balance correct.
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.
Which category should I open next?

What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
