OHAUS STX123 AM Scout Portable Balance, 120 g Capacity, 0.001 g Readability, Touchscreen

OHAUS STX123 AM Portable Balance — Milligram-Level 0.001 g Precision with Color Touchscreen

Milligram resolution in a handheld-class instrument: the OHAUS STX123 AM Scout Portable Balance achieves 0.001 g readability within a 120 g capacity, all operated through a 4.3-inch WQVGA color touchscreen. For laboratories where fine mass measurements are routine but a full analytical balance is impractical, this model provides an accessible and responsive alternative.

Key Features

• 0.001 g Readability: Milligram resolution enables precise formulation, dosing, and measurement tasks without requiring a dedicated analytical balance.
• Full-Color 4.3 in Touchscreen: User-adjustable brightness and a graphical WQVGA interface simplify mode selection across nine built-in applications.
• Compact 3.7 in Pan: The 93 mm stainless steel platform is sized for small vials, crucibles, and precision containers typical of fine chemical or gemological work.
• Nine Application Modes: Density determination, mole weighing, animal/dynamic weighing, and percent weighing are among the onboard modes available at a tap.
• Typical Repeatability of 0.002 g: Consistent results at the milligram level support reliable data collection without repeated measurements.
• Dual-Mode Power: AC adapter for bench use and four AA batteries for untethered operation cover both fixed and portable scenarios.
• Stackable Design: Slim profile and included storage cover allow organized stacking when not in use.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS STX123 AM Scout Portable Balance brings milligram-class accuracy to situations where a traditional analytical balance is either too large or too expensive. With a 120 g capacity and 0.001 g readability, it suits precision tasks in gemology, pharmacy, research chemistry, and materials testing. The ±0.003 g linearity and 0.002 g typical repeatability reflect a level of metrological care uncommon at this price class. Measurement units include milligrams alongside grams, carats, grains, troy ounces, and others — making the STX123 AM particularly effective for precious-material workflows where milligram accuracy and unit flexibility are both critical. The ABS housing is taller than flat-panel Scout models due to the heightened draftshield accommodating the small pan, resulting in slightly different dimensions (8.7 × 4.1 × 8 in).

Applications

• Gemological weighing of diamonds and precious stones
• Pharmaceutical micro-dosing and compounding checks
• Fine chemical and reagent preparation at the milligram scale
• Materials research and small-sample density determination
