OHAUS CX621 Compass CX Portable Balance, 620g Capacity, 0.1g Readability, 1000hr Battery Life

OHAUS CX621 Portable Balance — Precision 0.1 g Resolution Backed by Exceptional Battery Life

High readability and extraordinary endurance rarely coexist in a compact portable balance, but the OHAUS CX621 Portable Balance delivers both. With 0.1 g resolution across a 620 g range and over 1,000 hours of battery operation, it serves as the precision-focused counterpart in the Compass CX lineup — suited for tasks where detail counts as much as portability.

Key Features

• 0.1 g Readability at 620 g Capacity: Finer resolution than most entry-level portable balances makes the CX621 appropriate for accurate formulation and careful material measurement.
• 1001-Hour Battery Life: Powered by three AA cells, this runtime dwarfs typical portable balance battery claims, supporting weeks of daily use between changes.
• Stainless Steel Pan: Chemical resistance and easy cleaning make the pan suitable for laboratory samples, food ingredients, and craft materials alike.
• White-Backlit LCD: Enhances legibility across varied ambient conditions without significant power draw.
• Display Hold: Locks the current reading on screen, allowing transcription or photography of the result without remaining beside the balance.
• Transportation Lock: Protects the sensing element from shock loads during movement, preserving measurement accuracy after transit.
• Auto Shut-Off with Low Battery Alert: Saves battery automatically during idle periods and gives advance warning when charge is running low.

Detailed Overview

Compared to other Compass CX models, the CX621 prioritizes finer resolution over raw capacity — a deliberate choice for users measuring smaller samples where 0.1 g precision matters. The slim, stackable ABS housing keeps it portable and space-efficient, while slip-resistant feet provide stable placement on lab benches or field tables. Two-button operation demands almost no training, making it practical for environments with rotating staff or student users. The balance recognizes newton, gram, ounce, and pound measurements, meeting diverse scientific and commercial needs. Mechanical and software overload protection safeguard both the instrument and the operator from erroneous measurements near the capacity limit.

Applications

• Chemistry and biology student labs requiring accurate small-sample weighing
• Craft, jewelry, and hobby applications demanding sub-gram resolution
• Food preparation and recipe formulation with fine-grain ingredients
• Mobile quality control checks for small components or pharmaceutical ingredients

Why Choose the OHAUS CX621?

Users who need the highest CX resolution in a battery-powered package — and who weigh samples predominantly under 620 g — will find the CX621 perfectly matched to their requirements. Its combination of fine readability, durable pan construction, and unrivaled battery life makes it a standout value for precision-focused portable applications. Add to cart to experience accurate portable weighing that lasts.
