OHAUS SPX421 AM Scout Portable Balance, 420 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability

OHAUS SPX421 AM Scout Portable Balance — 420g Capacity with 120-Hour Battery Life and Multi-Mode Applications

Routine portable weighing at the sub-kilogram scale calls for a balance that is fast, easy to use, and powered for the long haul. The OHAUS SPX421 AM Scout Portable Balance answers with a 420g / 0.1g specification, a 120-hour battery life, and six built-in application modes that make it useful for tasks from simple weighing to parts counting and check weighing — without requiring software add-ons or special setup.

Key Features

• 420g Capacity at 0.1g Readability: A compact capacity range suited to small consumer goods, food samples, components, and laboratory sample batches where sub-gram discrimination is sufficient.
• 120-Hour Battery Life: Extended AA battery runtime ensures the balance remains operational through multiple field workdays without power management concerns.
• 1-Second Stabilization Time: Near-instant result delivery supports high throughput in repetitive measurement workflows.
• 120mm Stainless Steel Pan: Sized for small containers and sample bags while remaining compact enough for easy transport.
• Six Application Modes: Includes check weighing, totalization, percent weighing, parts counting, and display hold alongside standard weighing.
• Stackable, Compact Design: Stores neatly with other laboratory or field instruments; lightweight enough for one-hand carrying.
• Adjustable Leveling Feet with Illuminated Indicator: Quick and reliable leveling setup on any surface supports accurate measurements in non-ideal field conditions.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS SPX421 AM Scout Portable Balance is the 0.1g resolution representative of the 420g Scout tier. Its 1-second stabilization and 120-hour battery combine to create an instrument optimized for speed and endurance in routine portable weighing tasks. The 120mm pan is sized appropriately for standard sample containers and small trays, and the overall balance weight of just 1kg makes transport entirely practical. For facilities managing field inventories, agricultural samples, or mobile QC inspection rounds, the check weighing and totalization modes deliver structured measurement workflows without requiring a PC connection. The included AC adapter provides a smooth transition to bench-based use when field operations return to a fixed location.

Applications

• Food quality and ingredient portioning at production or retail sites
• Mobile QC check weighing for packaging compliance
• Agricultural sample collection at field stations
• Educational laboratory exercises and portable demonstration setups
