Choosing the Right Balance & Scale

May 12, 2011

Results of a recent survey appearing in the March 2011 issue of Laboratory Equipment magazine revealed the following:

When the opportunity to replace or add a new scale or balance appears, a wide range of product characteristics are considered, with cost not being the over-riding concern. By far, the most desired characteristics are accuracy, reliability and ease-of-use, followed by capacity, precision and price. Performance, features, supplier reputation and manufacturer brand are also considered when making a purchase decision. About 30% of survey respondents indicated they planned to purchase a new scale or balance within two years.
