Mettler Toledo UMX2 Ultra-Microbalance with Motorized Draft Shield and Touchscreen

The Mettler Toledo UMX2 ultra-microbalance is engineered for critical weighing tasks requiring exceptional precision in laboratory and biotechnological environments. Key technical characteristics include:

• Readability: 0.0001 mg, enabling highly accurate mass determinations crucial for molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology workflows.
• Maximum Load Capacity: 2.1 g, suitable for ultra-micro samples in bioprocessing and analytical chemistry.
• Motorized Glass Draft Shield: Minimizes environmental disturbances for precise weighing in unstable or draft-affected lab settings.
• Touch-sensitive Graphics Terminal (TouchScreen): Facilitates intuitive operation and speeds up complex weighing tasks common in molecular cloning and biomanufacturing labs.
• Fully Automatic Adjustment: Internal calibration weight ensures ongoing reliability through automatic calibration and linearization.
• Multiple Integrated Applications: Supports normal weighing, piece counting, percent weighing, differential weighing, and density determination—essential functions widely adopted in biomedicine and cell biology research.
• Two Programmable Sensors (SmartSens): Enable hands-off operation to streamline repetitive weighing protocols in biotechnology and pharmaceutical production workflows.
• Repeatability (Standard Deviation): 0.00025 mg at full load, assuring precise results for sensitive sample analysis in clinical diagnostics.
• Linearity: 0.001 mg, supporting accuracy across the balance’s weighing range.
• Eccentric Load Deviation: 0.0025 mg at half capacity, consistent with OIML R76 standards for ultra-microbalances.
• Dimensions: Compact footprint (241 x 505 x 293 mm) with a 28 x 28 mm chrome steel weighing pan, optimizing bench space in biotechnology laboratories.
• Power Supply: 220–240 V primary with 12 V DC secondary adapter, supporting standard laboratory electrical environments.
• Environmental Suitability: Operates effectively up to 4000 m altitude with ambient temperatures from 5 to 40 °C and controlled relative humidity, adapting to diverse lab conditions.
• Robust Construction: Die-cast aluminum and zinc housing with lacquer finish and a chrome steel weighing pan ensure durability and long-term stability.
