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.

Nelson-Jameson partners with reputable balance and scale manufacturers to provide products of lasting value. We provide a wide range of scales for nearly every application in every industry. And, our commitment to serving customers after the sale provides the right 'balance' for your lab and process area requirements.
