KERN & SOHN EMB 100-3 EMB Educational Balance, 100 g Capacity, 0.001 g Readability

KERN & SOHN EMB 100-3 Educational Balance — 100 g Capacity, 0.001 g Readability — Sub-Milligram School Balance

Sub-milligram resolution in a battery-powered school balance defines the KERN & SOHN EMB 100-3 Educational Balance. Rated to 100 g with 0.001 g readability and 100,000-division resolution, it brings laboratory-grade precision to teaching environments without requiring a fixed power connection.

Key Features

• 0.001 g readability on battery power: 100,000-division resolution and 0.001 g readability — matching many precision laboratory balances — runs entirely from a standard 9 V block battery for up to 16 hours.
• Reproducibility of 0.001 g: Strain gauge weighing system holds 0.001 g reproducibility across repeated measurements, giving students consistent data for statistical analysis exercises.
• ±0.005 g linearity: Low linearity error of ±0.005 g means readings remain accurate across the full 100 g range, not just at the calibration point.
• Compact 82 mm weighing surface: The 82 mm pan accommodates small sample containers and analytical vessels used in introductory analytical chemistry exercises.
• 2-key operation: Just two keys control the entire balance: on/off and tare. This simplicity speeds up lesson time and reduces operator error for younger students.
• External calibration with F1-class weight: Single calibration point at 100 g using an F1-class weight teaches calibration methodology at a resolution tier relevant to professional laboratory practice.
• Portable flat-form housing: The 170×244×54 mm housing stores upright in equipment lockers, and battery operation frees the balance from proximity to power sockets.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN EMB 100-3 Educational Balance brings 0.001 g readability to the classroom on battery power, making it one of the higher-resolution options in the educational balance segment. Its strain gauge system resolves 100.000 divisions across 100 g, with 0.001 g reproducibility, ±0.005 g linearity, and a 2.5-second stabilization time. Maximum creep over 15 minutes is controlled to 10 mg. The 82 mm plastic weighing surface and 170×244×54 mm housing keep the footprint minimal. A 120-minute warm-up period is needed before the full 0.001 g rated accuracy is achievable, which should be factored into lesson planning for precision-critical exercises. Supported weighing units include grams, troy ounces, and avoirdupois ounces.

Applications

• Introductory analytical chemistry practicals requiring milligram-level precision
• Pharmaceutical and science college lab exercises on dosage and compound preparation
• Teaching calibration methodology with F1-class reference weights
• Gemology and precious-metal education using the carat and troy ounce units
• Statistical uncertainty exercises requiring high reproducibility data
