OHAUS STX223 AM Scout Portable Balance, 220 g Capacity, 0.001 g Readability, Touchscreen

OHAUS STX223 AM Portable Balance — 220 g Range at 0.001 g with Full-Color Touchscreen

Bridging the gap between a precision balance and a portable instrument, the OHAUS STX223 AM Scout Portable Balance resolves measurements to 0.001 g across a 220 g range. The full-color 4.3-inch touchscreen and nine application modes make this among the most capable options in the Scout line for laboratories requiring milligram-level accuracy outside of a dedicated analytical setup.

Key Features

• 0.001 g Readability: Milligram-class resolution supports demanding precision tasks — from micro-dosing to fine material characterization — without a traditional analytical balance.
• Typical Repeatability of 0.002 g: Tightly controlled measurement scatter at the milligram scale ensures reliable, reproducible results across multiple readings.
• ±0.003 g Linearity: Verified accuracy from the lightest measurements to full 220 g capacity, reducing re-calibration frequency in daily use.
• 4.3 in WQVGA Color Touchscreen: User-adjustable brightness and a graphical interface simplify complex application switching for milligram-level work.
• Nine Application Modes: Mole weighing and density determination extend the balance's utility well beyond basic mass measurement.
• Compact 3.7 in Pan with Draftshield Housing: The taller 93 mm pan with protective housing reduces air current interference critical for sub-0.01 g measurements.
• Flexible Power Options: AC adapter included; four AA batteries support untethered milligram-precision work where needed.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS STX223 AM Scout Portable Balance achieves something rare in a portable design: genuine milligram precision. Its 0.001 g readability, 0.002 g repeatability, and ±0.003 g linearity position it as a credible tool for pharmaceutical compounding, fine chemical synthesis, and high-value material measurement. The taller housing design (8.7 × 4.1 × 8 in) compared to flat-pan Scout models reflects the draftshield accommodation essential for milligram accuracy. Measurement units include milligrams, carats, grains, and troy ounces — a set that covers both scientific and precious-material workflows. The touchscreen interface reduces the cognitive load of operating in high-precision mode, where even small interruptions can affect result quality.

Applications

• Pharmaceutical compounding and micro-dosage verification
• High-value gemstone and precious metal weighing at 0.001 g
• Precise reagent dispensing in research chemistry
• Materials characterization requiring milligram-level accuracy

Why Choose the OHAUS STX223 AM?

When the task genuinely requires milligram precision in a portable format — not just 0.01 g — the STX223 AM stands apart in the Scout range. Its combination of 0.001 g readability, touchscreen interface, and nine application modes addresses needs that most portable balances cannot. Order today to bring milligram-accurate portable weighing to your bench or field workflow.
