OHAUS NV1202 AM Navigator Portable Balance, 1200g Capacity, 0.01g Readability, GLP/GMP Compliant

OHAUS NV1202 AM Portable Balance — 1,200 g Navigator Balance with 0.01 g Readability

Higher resolution weighing in a portable format opens up applications that would otherwise require a dedicated benchtop instrument. The OHAUS NV1202 AM Portable Balance delivers 0.01 g readability across a 1,200 g range — a combination that suits precise reagent preparation, formulation work, and checkweighing tasks that demand finer discrimination than a 0.1 g balance can provide.

Key Features

• 0.01 g Readability with 0.02 g Typical Repeatability: Sub-centigram resolution supports formulation and dispensing tasks where accuracy margins are tight.
• 1,200 g Maximum Capacity: Generous range relative to the readability level allows the balance to serve both precise small-mass and moderate bulk weighing.
• 0.03 g Linearity: Tight linearity across the full range maintains measurement accuracy regardless of where on the pan the load is placed.
• 200-Hour Battery Life: Suitable for extended laboratory shifts; runs entirely on four C-cell batteries with no mains connection required.
• GLP/GMP Data Output Ready: Optional RS232, USB, and Ethernet connectivity supports compliant record-keeping in quality-assured environments.
• Parts Counting and Percent Weighing Modes: Built-in application functions extend utility beyond simple weighing.
• Overload Protection at 4× Capacity: Combined mechanical and software protection safeguards against accidental overload events.

Detailed Overview

Moving from 0.1 g to 0.01 g readability in the Navigator series does not increase the instrument's weight — the NV1202 AM maintains the same 1 kg body and identical 144 mm × 190 mm stainless steel pan as the NV1201 AM. What changes is the precision it delivers: 0.02 g repeatability and 0.03 g linearity, which significantly broaden the range of analytical tasks the balance can support without a stationary lab setup. The stabilization time of 2 seconds is slightly longer than the NV1201 AM's one-second response, reflecting the finer discrimination of the weighing cell. Auto shut-off, a low-battery indicator, and a transportation lock make it suitable for both roving and fixed-location use. The balance supports 10 measurement units, covering jewellery, pharmaceutical, and industrial weighing needs in one unit.

Applications

• Precise reagent and formulation dispensing
• Checkweighing for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical QC
• Parts counting in manufacturing environments
• Field-based sample weighing requiring centigram precision
