This makes it the appropriate choice when sample masses are in the low hundreds of grams and small differences in mass are significant, as in plant tissue analysis, small-animal ecological surveys, or introductory quantitative chemistry experiments. The 2-second stabilization time and slip-resistant feet provide stable readings even on uneven field surfaces or outdoor tables. At 0.4kg net weight, it travels in a field pack without burden. Units from the CR series stack flat for classroom storage, making management of a set of 20 or 30 instruments far easier than with conventional bench-mount designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBotanical and ecological field sampling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecondary and university chemistry practicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall-sample environmental monitoring and soil analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePortable QC inspection for lightweight packaged goods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the OHAUS CR221?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen field conditions demand 0.1g precision without proximity to AC power, the OHAUS CR221 Compass CR Portable Balance is the logical choice.
