OHAUS AX423N/E Adventurer Precision Balance, 420g Capacity, 0.001g Readability, NTEP Certified, Touchscreen

OHAUS AX423N/E Adventurer Precision Balance — 420g NTEP-Certified Legal-for-Trade with 1 mg Readability

When a precision balance must satisfy both laboratory accuracy and legal-for-trade certification requirements, the OHAUS AX423N/E Adventurer Precision Balance is the answer. NTEP-certified to Accuracy Class II with a certified readability of 0.01 g, it combines regulatory compliance with the Adventurer's color touchscreen interface and milligram-level measurement capability.

Key Features

• NTEP Legal-for-Trade Certification (Class II): NTEP certification confirms this balance meets the performance and design standards required for commercial weighing applications subject to weights-and-measures regulations in the United States.
• 420 g Capacity with 0.001 g (1 mg) Readability: In non-trade weighing mode, the AX423N/E resolves to 1 mg, providing practical milligram precision for laboratory analysis and preparation tasks alongside its certified trade function.
• Full-Color VGA Touchscreen: The high-resolution Adventurer display brings touchscreen convenience to a certified legal-for-trade platform — an unusual combination that makes this model well-suited to environments where both trade compliance and analytical utility are required.
• Glass Draftshield for 1 mg Stability: The enclosed weighing chamber controls airflow interference at milligram sensitivity levels, supporting reliable readings whether the balance is operating in trade or laboratory mode.
• USB Host, USB Device, and RS232 Connectivity: All three communication interfaces are included, enabling data output to computers, printers, and USB drives from a single NTEP-certified instrument.
• 2-Second Stabilization: Quick settling supports efficient throughput in commercial weighing environments without compromising the precision expected in laboratory settings.
• Three-Level User Management: GLP/GMP-style access control provides an additional layer of procedural compliance, protecting trade-mode calibration settings from unauthorized alteration.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS AX423N/E bridges two traditionally separate instrument categories. In trade mode, the certified 0.01 g readability and NTEP Class II approval satisfy U.S. commercial weighing regulations for applications such as precious-metal trading, cannabis dispensary compliance, or commercial laboratory billing by mass. In analytical mode, the 0.001 g readability and ±0.002 g linearity support general laboratory precision tasks. The 130 mm stainless-steel pan and draftshield provide a controlled measurement environment at both resolution levels. The 12.8 lb net weight reflects the more substantial construction required for a certified legal-for-trade platform compared to standard laboratory precision balances.

Applications

• Precious-metal buying, selling, and certification requiring NTEP-certified mass measurement
• Cannabis dispensary product weighing under state-mandated legal-for-trade requirements
• Commercial laboratory services that bill clients by measured mass
• Dual-purpose environments where the same balance must serve both trade and research functions
• Jewelry and gemological trade where certified mass documentation is required

Why Choose the OHAUS AX423N/E?

Most laboratories or commercial operations need either a certified trade balance or a precision laboratory instrument — rarely both from a single unit. The AX423N/E delivers that combination, with NTEP Class II certification and 1 mg laboratory resolution sharing the same touchscreen-equipped Adventurer platform. Order today for a certified, versatile balance that serves both regulatory and analytical demands.
