RADWAG AS 5Y AS 160.5Y Analytical Balance, 160g Capacity, 0.1mg Readability, 21 CFR Part 11, Internal Calibration

RADWAG AS 160.5Y Analytical Balance — Single-Range Simplicity With Full Compliance

Not every analytical task calls for dual-range complexity. The RADWAG AS 160.5Y Analytical Balance provides straightforward 160 g capacity at 0.1 mg readability within a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant framework, offering regulated labs a streamlined instrument purpose-built for standard analytical weighing operations.

Key Features

• 160 g Capacity at 0.1 mg Readability: Sufficient capacity for common analytical samples and vessels, paired with the resolution needed for accurate formulation, assay preparation, and gravimetric determinations.
• Full 21 CFR Part 11 Support: Integrated electronic signatures, user authentication, and tamper-proof audit trails ensure regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical and GMP environments without additional software investments.
• ELLIPSIS 5Y Operating Platform: A widget-driven 10-inch touchscreen consolidates weighing data, environmental monitoring, and procedure notes into a single intuitive workspace for streamlined operation.
• Hands-Free IR Sensors: Proximity-activated commands minimise contamination and improve ergonomic workflow in repetitive weighing routines throughout extended laboratory sessions.
• Under-Pan Weighing Hook: Perform density measurements and hydrostatic tests through the integrated hook beneath the weighing chamber base without removing the balance from its bench position.
• Versatile Network Integration: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, hotspot, USB-A, USB-C, and HDMI outputs connect the balance to laboratory networks, external displays, and enterprise data systems.

Detailed Overview

The AS 160.5Y sits within RADWAG's 5Y analytical series, sharing the same robust ELLIPSIS platform found across the range. Semi-automatic leveling through LevelSENSING keeps the balance properly oriented, while automatic internal calibration compensates for ambient temperature changes without operator involvement. The draftshield's manual doors provide a controlled weighing chamber that minimises air-current disturbances around the sample. OIML Class I verification validates performance for legal-for-trade applications. Voice note capability — a feature unique to the 5Y series — allows analysts to attach audio memos to measurement sequences, adding an extra layer of documentation to complex experimental workflows. The comprehensive communication suite ensures that every result can be transmitted directly to laboratory information systems for permanent archiving and regulatory review.

Applications

• Routine pharmaceutical quality control assays and release testing
• Standard analytical sample preparation in chemistry laboratories
• Calibration and verification of reference materials and standards
• Compliance-driven weighing for regulated food and cosmetics industries
