‘No Expertise Required’ Analytical Balance Management

Do you know what it takes to properly manage quality and performance of analytical balances? If you are a lab or QA manager who needs to implement standard operating procedures to comply with GLP, GMP, etc., but doesn’t know where to look, A&D’s AD-1691 Weighing Environment Analyzer will come to your rescue. Simply follow the step-by-step guidance shown on its touch-panel screen, and you can perform various tasks related to balance management, including documentation of results, quickly, easily and correctly on your own.

Specifically, the AD-1691 lets you perform daily (confirmation of whether the balance meets proper conditions for use) and periodic (tests for repeatability, accuracy/linearity and eccentricity) checks of balances in ways already laid out by A&D for you. In addition, it enables high-level accuracy management by estimating expanded uncertainty (k=2) for calibration without you having to perform complex calculations yourself.

It can also automatically calculate the minimum weight as defined by the United States Pharmacopoeia. You will therefore no longer have to send for an outside specialist when you need to work this out. Further, it allows you to use the ‘A&D Measurement Environment Evaluation Tool’ for A&D’s BM series of micro analytical balances to reduce the minimum weight by improving the repeatability performance of your balance.
