Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance (1200g Capacity
To save time in fast-paced laboratory environments, a balance that is precise, yet still capable of measuring large samples can be very helpful. The Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance (1200g Capacity) has a capacity range of 100mg - 1200g, but offers 0.001g readability, making it ideal for such situations. It is also very accessible and user-friendly due to its touchscreen display, and additionally features a draught shield which helps reduce the effects of draughts, static and vibrations.
Please note that a calibration certificate for this device must be purchased at the same time by ticking the box at the top of the page. You cannot purchase this certificate for a balance or scale that has already been ordered.
What Are Precision Balances?
Precision balances are also known as 'top loading balances' and offer a good compromise between precision and high capacity. They aren't as precise as analytical or semi-micro balances due to their increased holding power, but are still very precise compared to standard scales, making them suitable for laboratory use.
Applications for the Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance
Designed to measure loads weighing up to 1200g to three decimal points, the EPB 1203i Precision Balance is suitable for use in a number of applications, including:
- Quality Assurance
- Science Education
- Research
- Production and Manufacturing
- Precision Counting
- Dynamic weighing (e.g. animal weighing)
- Textiles
What Is the Capacity of the Equinox Balance?
The EPB 1203i Balance has a capacity range of between 100mg - 1200g, with a readability of 0.001g. Offering impressive precision for the quantity it can weigh, it is a great choice for applications in pharmaceutical manufacturing or production.
How Do I Operate the Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance?
The Equinox EPB 1203i balance has a 5" (800 x 480 pixels) touchscreen display that is both easy to read and operate. In addition to multilingual capabilities, the icon-driven display makes the balance user-friendly and accessible.

How Do I Calibrate the Equinox EPB 1203i Precision Balance?
The EPB 1203i Balance has an in-built automatic calibration function, which can help you save time in fast-paced laboratory environments. Unlike externally calibrating balance, the EPB 1203i can be set to configure itself before use and anytime environmental factors change, ensuring smoother, more efficient testing.
Date and Time Stamped Printouts
In adherence with Good Laboratory Practise (GLP) guidelines, data printouts supplied by the Equinox EPB are time and date stamped for improved traceability. This can help you keep track of your processes for a more functional, organised laboratory environment.
What Security Features Does This Balance Have?
This balance comes with both physical and software-based security features. Firstly, the software allows users to make password-protected accounts, so settings cannot be changed and data cannot be accessed without proper authorisation. Secondly, a security slot compatible with Kensington-type locks can be engaged so the balance can't be taken out of the work place.
