OHAUS AX523/E Adventurer Precision Balance, 520g Capacity, 1mg Readability, Touchscreen, GLP/GMP

OHAUS AX523/E Adventurer Precision Balance — 1mg Readability with Integrated Draftshield

Reaching down to 1mg readability while accommodating up to 520g, the OHAUS AX523/E Adventurer Precision Balance serves analytical chemists and QC technicians who routinely handle small samples that must be shielded from air disturbance. The factory-installed glass draftshield provides stable measurement conditions, and the color VGA touchscreen delivers fluid access to a broad suite of on-board applications.

Key Features

• 1mg readability with draftshield: The integrated glass draftshield is essential at milligram resolution, blocking air currents that would otherwise cause erratic readings during sample transfer.
• 520g maximum capacity: Accommodates typical laboratory sample containers alongside the sample mass, reducing the need to tare large vessels separately.
• 2-second stabilization time: Slightly extended settling relative to lower-resolution models reflects the care required at milligram precision, and remains fast enough for productive multi-sample sessions.
• GLP/GMP compliance tools: Three-level user login, project and operator IDs, and time-stamped data output meet documentation requirements in pharmaceutical and regulated research labs.
• Full-color VGA touchscreen: Brightness-adjustable 4.3-inch display supports clear readout in low-light environments and allows quick application switching without navigating deep menus.
• USB and RS232 connectivity: Connect to laboratory information systems, barcode scanners, or label printers to automate record-keeping workflows.
• Stainless steel 130mm pan: Circular pan profile suits standard weighing boats and volumetric glassware typical in analytical workflows.

Detailed Overview

The AX523/E is designed for laboratories where sub-gram accuracy is required but analytical balance costs are unnecessary—common in QC, formulation development, and educational settings. Compared to the broader-pan AX4201 and AX6202 models, the AX523/E prioritizes measurement environment through its enclosed draftshield, making it the appropriate selection for powders, fine chemicals, and catalyst samples. Its linearity of ±0.002g supports reliable check weighing and dispensing. Eighteen selectable measurement units—including carats, grains, and pennyweights—extend applicability to precious metals and gemology. Security features including calibration lock and software lockout prevent settings drift in shared-use environments. The in-use cover protects the display and housing between sessions.

Applications

• Precise dispensing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and reference standards
• Catalyst and fine chemical weighing in research and development laboratories
• Gemstone and precious metal weighing requiring milligram discrimination
• Check weighing and fill-weight verification in production QC
• Density determination of solids and liquids

Why Choose the OHAUS AX523/E?

The AX523/E targets laboratories that need milligram-level precision without committing to a full analytical balance footprint. The combination of a built-in draftshield, compliance toolset, and ten on-board applications makes it a self-contained workstation for high-frequency precise weighing. Order today to outfit your bench with a balance that handles both the measurement and the documentation.
