Sartorius 36201S High-Capacity Precision Balance 36.2kg Capacity, 0.1g Readability

The Sartorius 36201S is a high-capacity precision balance designed for laboratory and industrial applications requiring large load capacity combined with fine resolution. Key features include:

• Maximum weighing capacity: 36,200 g (36.2 kg), ideal for bulk material weighing and heavy vessels/totes in R&D environments.
• Readability: 0.1 g (100 mg) enabling detailed measurement without sacrificing large-scale capacity.
• Weighing pan size: 400 mm × 300 mm stainless steel surface suitable for accommodating large or awkward samples.
• Repeatability: Typical deviation less than ±100 mg ensures consistent results for formulation and bioprocessing workflows.
• Linearity deviation: Less than ±200 mg for accuracy across full weighing range.
• Off-centre loading specification: 300 mg deviation at 10,000 g test load to maintain precision even with uneven sample placement.
• Calibration: External calibration supported (e.g., model version MCE36201S0-S00).
• Minimum optimal weight: Approximately 82 g (per USP 41 “820 d” rule), covering typical industrial and laboratory requirements without reaching analytical balance precision.

This balance is widely adopted in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing settings where high-capacity weighing combined with reliable resolution is essential. It supports workflows such as formulation development, synthetic biology research, and bulk material measurement. While not suited for ultra-micro or analytical precision tasks (µg or mg scale), it excels in industrial R&D weighing, clinical diagnostics sample prep, and bioprocessing environments requiring robust, precise load measuring tools.

The durable stainless steel weighing surface and high-capacity capabilities make the Sartorius 36201S a critical instrument in biomedical engineering and biotechnology laboratories that demand scalability from heavy loads to finely detailed measurements.
