OHAUS STX1202 AM Scout Portable Balance, 1,200 g Capacity, 0.01 g Readability, Touchscreen

OHAUS STX1202 AM Portable Balance — 1,200 g Touchscreen Balance with 0.01 g Resolution

Combining a 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen with 1,200 g capacity and 0.01 g readability, the OHAUS STX1202 AM Scout Portable Balance represents a meaningful upgrade for labs transitioning away from button-based interfaces. Nine integrated application modes — from density determination to mole weighing — keep specialized calculations on the instrument rather than on a separate device.

Key Features

• 4.3-Inch WQVGA Color Touchscreen: An intuitive full-color display simplifies mode switching, unit changes, and calibration without navigating multi-level button menus.
• 0.01 g Readability at 1,200 g: A wide capacity-to-resolution ratio handles both fine samples and mid-weight batches on a single instrument.
• Nine Application Modes: Density determination, animal/dynamic weighing, and mole weighing expand capability well beyond basic weighing tasks.
• 1.5-Second Stabilization at 0.01 g: Stable results resolve quickly despite the fine resolution, maintaining productivity in busy lab environments.
• Spacious 5.5 × 6.7 in Pan: The wide stainless steel platform accommodates standard lab vessels, flasks, and containers comfortably.
• Dual-Mode Power: AC adapter or four AA batteries provide flexibility for both bench and portable operations.
• Comprehensive Connectivity: RS232, USB Host, USB Device, Ethernet, and Bluetooth available as accessories, supporting multiple lab data systems.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS STX1202 AM Scout Portable Balance targets laboratories that need finer precision within a moderate capacity range. At 0.01 g resolution over 1,200 g, it covers general analytical weighing, density work using Archimedes' principle, and even mole-based calculations for chemistry courses or research applications. The WQVGA touchscreen display offers user-adjustable brightness, making it functional in both dimly lit storage rooms and bright laboratory conditions. The balance's stackable profile and included storage cover allow multi-unit setups to be organized without extra hardware. Linearity is specified at ±0.03 g, and typical repeatability reaches 0.02 g — performance figures that meet the demands of most standard laboratory protocols without requiring a full analytical balance.

Applications

• Density determination of liquids and solids
• Pharmaceutical and chemical formulation at the 0.01 g level
• Animal or dynamic weighing in veterinary or field biology settings
• Mole calculations in academic or industrial chemistry
• Multi-step titration and gravimetric analysis support
