A&D Weighing Apollo lab balances are known for their exceptional accuracy, reliability, and advanced features, which makes them a great choice for a wide range of laboratory and industrial weighing applications. For university research departments in particular, Apollo balances provide a reliable solution for critical weighing tasks with intuitive features, versatility and exceptional value. Let's take a further look at why Apollo is a great choice for universities and academic research.

Benefits of A&D Apollo Balances for Universities

In the academic and research sectors, precision is not just a requirement but a foundation for success. A&D Weighing’s Apollo balances are particularly well-suited to the needs of universities and research institutions, where accurate measurements are critical for experiments, analyses, and educational demonstrations. They empower researchers, educators, and students by providing reliable weighing for their work.

Accuracy

One of the primary benefits of Apollo in these settings is their precision. Universities often conduct complex experiments requiring exact measurements of chemicals, reagents, and other materials. Apollo analytical balances, with their high-speed stabilization and advanced anti-static features, ensure that readings are both quick and accurate, minimizing the risk of experimental errors. This accuracy is crucial in fields such as chemistry, biology, and material science, where even minor deviations can impact results.

Ease of Use

Another advantage is their user-friendly design, which accommodates diverse skill levels of users in educational institutions. From undergraduate students learning basic laboratory techniques to seasoned researchers conducting advanced studies, the intuitive interface and customizable features of Apollo balances make them accessible to all. Their programmability allows users to tailor the balances for specific tasks, streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity.

Data Management

Data integrity and traceability are important to researchers. They excel in this regard, offering connectivity options such as USB and RS-232 for seamless data transfer to computers and logging systems. This functionality supports thorough documentation, enabling researchers to maintain detailed records of their experiments. The balances’ compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards further reinforces their suitability for academic research use.

Durability and Reliability

Durability and reliability are also key factors that make Apollo balances a great choice for universities and research institutions. These devices are built to withstand frequent use in busy lab settings, providing consistent performance over time. Their robust construction ensures that they remain dependable, even when used in demanding conditions.

The Impact Shock Detection (ISD) feature is particularly valued in educational environments, as it displays and records shock impacts, helping to identify when and how strong an impact was. This functionality aids in maintaining the balance's longevity and ensures consistent performance, even in busy lab settings. It also provides indication to the user that a calibration check should be performed, as impacts can have negative results on the performance of a balance.

Versatility

Apollo lab balances provide a solution for a variety of research applications. Apollo precision balances are available in a wide range of capacities with readabilities from 1 gram to 0.001 gram. Apollo analytical balances, with readabilities down to 0.01 mg, are ideal for task requiring higher precision and smaller sample sizes. High-capacity options offer a solution for bulk weighing or larger materials.

Weighing Modes

• General weighing
• Counting
• Animal weighing (dynamic weighing)
• Percent weighing
• Density determination
• Checkweighing
• Under-hook weighing (suspended weighing)

Affordability

Despite their advanced features and exceptional accuracy, they're available at a price point that makes them accessible to a wider range of institutions, including those with limited budgets. In the current economy, this is especially important as departments reel in spending and pay close attention to budget constraints. Their cost-effectiveness does not compromise quality, as they consistently deliver reliable performance. For universities, research facilities, and laboratories looking to maximize value without sacrificing precision, Apollo balances represent an ideal choice, blending exceptional functionality with economic practicality.
