Shimadzu Analytical Balances

Shimadzu Analytical India Pvt. Ltd. supplies a wide range of laboratory balances and moisture analyzers for pharmaceutical industries, research laboratories, universities, chemical industries, food

testing laboratories, and quality control departments. Shimadzu balances are globally known for their UniBloc weighing technology, fast response time, excellent repeatability, and stable performance in laboratory environments.

AP Series Analytical Balances

The AP Series is one of the most advanced analytical balance ranges supplied by Shimadzu. These balances are designed for high-precision laboratory weighing applications such as pharmaceutical formulation, reagent preparation, chemical analysis, density determination, and analytical sample preparation.

The readability and accuracy of the AP Series balances range between:

$0.1𝑚𝑔\text{to}0.01𝑚𝑔$

0.1mgto0.01mg

Popular models include:

• AP225W
• AP135W
• AP225WD
• AP125WD
• AP324W
• AP224W

These balances provide weighing capacities from 120 grams up to 320 grams and feature built-in calibration systems, USB connectivity, touchless sensors, automatic doors, ionizers, and advanced draft shield systems. Shimadzu states that some AP models can achieve repeatability as low as:

$0.015𝑚𝑔$

0.015mg

The AP Series is widely used in pharmaceutical laboratories, analytical chemistry laboratories, research centers, and universities.

Semi-Micro Analytical Balances

Shimadzu also supplies semi-micro analytical balances designed for laboratories requiring higher sensitivity than standard analytical balances. These instruments are used for trace-level analysis and highly accurate sample preparation.

The typical readability offered is:

$0.01𝑚𝑔$

0.01mg

Models such as the AP225W and AP225WD provide dual-range weighing systems capable of switching between analytical and semi-micro precision ranges. These balances offer excellent stability, low minimum weight values, and highly accurate repeatability for critical laboratory applications.

AUW-D Series Analytical Balances

The AUW-D Series analytical balances are dual-range semi-micro balances designed for highly sensitive laboratory applications. Shimadzu describes these as among the world’s first five-decimal balances using UniBloc one-piece force sensor technology.

These balances typically provide readability of:

$0.01𝑚𝑔$

0.01mg

The AUW-D Series is widely used in pharmaceutical laboratories, analytical research facilities, and chemical industries requiring highly stable measurements with rapid response times.

AT-R Series Analytical Balances

The AT-R Series is Shimadzu’s basic analytical balance lineup designed for routine laboratory weighing applications while maintaining high stability and operational simplicity.

The typical readability range is:

$0.1𝑚𝑔$

0.1mg

These balances are commonly used in educational laboratories, industrial quality control departments, food testing laboratories, and routine analytical applications. The AT-R Series emphasizes reliable performance, stable operation, and user-friendly functionality.

AT Series Analytical Balances

The ATX and ATY Series analytical balances are designed to deliver high analytical performance at economical pricing. These balances use Shimadzu’s UniBloc weighing sensor system for stable and accurate weighing.

Their readability generally includes:

$0.1𝑚𝑔$

0.1mg

These balances are suitable for routine pharmaceutical, chemical, educational, and industrial laboratory operations.

AU Series Analytical Balances

The AU Series analytical balances are single-range analytical balances engineered with UniBloc technology. These balances are designed for fast response, stable measurement, and highly repeatable analytical weighing.

The typical analytical readability provided is:

$0.1𝑚𝑔$

0.1mg

These balances are commonly used for reagent preparation, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical sample preparation, and laboratory quality control applications.

Precision Electronic Balances

Shimadzu also supplies electronic precision balances designed for general laboratory and industrial weighing applications. These balances are used where high capacity and reliable routine weighing are required.

Typical readability values include:

$0.001𝑔\text{to}0.01𝑔$

0.001gto0.01g

These balances are used in manufacturing industries, packaging operations, educational laboratories, industrial quality control, and production facilities. Shimadzu precision balances are valued for fast stabilization time and durable construction.

Moisture Analyzer Balances

Shimadzu manufactures moisture analyzer balances such as the MOC-120H for rapid moisture determination in food industries, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agriculture, textiles, and industrial materials.

The MOC-120H moisture analyzer provides weighing readability of:

$0.001𝑔$

0.001g

and moisture readability of:

$0.01\mathrm{\%}$

0.01%

The instrument uses infrared heat drying technology with UniBloc weighing systems for highly accurate moisture analysis. It supports multiple drying modes, automatic and timed measurement modes, and programmable heating systems for different sample types.

UniBloc Weighing Technology

Most Shimadzu balances are built using UniBloc technology, which is a one-piece aluminum alloy weighing sensor system designed for high durability, fast response, and excellent repeatability. Shimadzu states that the AP Series balances can achieve fast response times of nearly two seconds while maintaining high stability during trace-level measurements.
