OHAUS PX163/E Pioneer PX Precision Balance, 160g Capacity, 0.001g Readability, GLP/GMP

OHAUS PX163/E Pioneer PX Precision Balance — 160g at 1 mg for Tight-Tolerance Precision Work

Compact capacity, fine resolution — the OHAUS PX163/E Pioneer PX Precision Balance targets applications where 160 g is ample and every milligram counts. With a glass draftshield shielding against airflow and dual USB/RS232 connectivity enabling data integration, this external-calibration model brings precise 0.001 g weighing to labs that manage their own calibration schedules.

Key Features

• 160 g Capacity at 0.001 g Readability: A focused weighing range optimized for small, high-value samples such as reference chemicals, pharmaceutical substances, and gemstones where milligram accuracy is required.
• Glass Draftshield Enclosure: The enclosed weighing chamber is essential at 1 mg resolution; even slight air movements can destabilize readings, and the draftshield eliminates this variability.
• External Calibration Design: This /E model is calibrated using certified external weights, integrating smoothly into ISO-accredited or GMP-regulated calibration programs where the instrument is verified by a traceable mass standard.
• USB and RS232 Communication: Both interfaces are included, providing flexible integration with laboratory informatics, printers, or computer-based data acquisition systems.
• GLP/GMP Compliance with Real-Time Clock: Timestamped data records, including operator and project IDs, support audit-ready documentation in regulated environments.
• 2-Second Stabilization: Quick settling for a milligram-range balance allows efficient processing of multiple samples per session without waiting extended periods for each reading.
• Comprehensive Unit Support: Nineteen weighing units including milligrams, carats, Baht, and Tola accommodate the diverse sample types and trade conventions encountered in precision laboratory and commercial weighing.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS PX163/E achieves ±0.002 g linearity and 0.001 g typical repeatability within its 160 g range. The 120 mm stainless-steel pan provides adequate surface area for standard analytical vessels and sample containers. Operating between 10°C and 30°C, this balance is suited to climate-controlled laboratories and precision production environments. The two-line backlit LCD presents the primary weight reading alongside application-specific guidance on the secondary line, reducing workflow errors. Software lockout protects calibration and configuration settings in shared-use environments, ensuring that pre-set operating parameters remain intact between users.

Applications

• Precision dispensing of active pharmaceutical ingredients at 1 mg resolution
• Gemological weighing in carat units for jewelry trade and certification
• Reference standard preparation and gravimetric chemical analysis
• Small-sample density determination using the weigh-below hook
• Percent weighing and component formulation in research chemistry

Why Choose the OHAUS PX163/E?

If your process calls for traceable milligram weighing within a modest capacity range and your facility runs an established external calibration program, the PX163/E fits precisely. The enclosed draftshield, dual connectivity, and GLP output give it the features a regulated environment demands without over-engineering the platform.
