Microbalance PX6: Redefining Precision and Performance
The PX6 from Mettler Toledo represents the pinnacle of precision technology in microbalances, offering exceptional accuracy with readability down to 0.001 mg. This balance is specifically designed for applications where precision is crucial, such as pharmaceutical research, high-precision manufacturing, and rigorous quality control. With a maximum capacity of 6.1 g, the PX6 is capable of measuring extremely fine samples, making it an indispensable tool for professionals requiring stringent standards.
One of the remarkable features of the PX6 is its ProFACT technology, which provides fully automatic internal adjustment and linearization controlled by time and temperature. This ensures that the balance maintains high precision and stability over time without the need for manual recalibration. Automatic adjustment capabilities are crucial in environments where temperature variations and other factors can influence measurement accuracy.
The PX6 is equipped with a motorized draft shield that is easy to clean, ensuring that the balance remains free from contamination and operational interruptions. The draft shield is designed to enhance measurement accuracy by providing a stable environment and minimizing the impact of air currents and external disturbances.
Another important feature of the PX6 is SmartSens technology, which integrates two infrared sensors for contactless operation. This allows users to place samples on the weighing pan without physical contact, reducing the risk of contamination and improving operational efficiency. Contactless operation is particularly advantageous in high-throughput laboratories or sterile environments where minimizing contact is crucial.
The PX6 includes a high-resolution color touchscreen that provides an intuitive user interface. The display allows users to easily navigate through various functions and applications. It supports up to eight configurable user accounts with password protection, ensuring secure and personalized access to the balance's features. The display also includes four definable information fields for user and sample identification, enhancing data management and traceability.
With SmartTrac, the PX6 offers graphical assistance for weighing to monitor capacity and weight tolerances. This feature helps users maintain accuracy by visually guiding them through the weighing process. Additionally, the balance includes three definable minimum weights with MinWeigh alerts if minimum weight requirements are not met, ensuring compliance with measurement protocols.
The PX6 is designed for connectivity and integration with laboratory networks. It includes an RS-232C interface and two auxiliary interfaces for connecting additional peripherals such as a keyboard or additional IR sensors. There is also a slot for an optional second interface, providing flexibility for future updates or integration with various communication standards, including LocalCAN, Ethernet, USB, MiniMettler, Bluetooth, and PS/2.
In terms of performance and durability, the PX6 offers a repeatability of 0.0008 mg and a linearity of 0.0004 mg. It operates in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Japanese, making it accessible to international users. The balance has compact dimensions, with a height of 4 13/32 inches, a width of 4 63/64 inches, and a depth of 11 3/16 inches, allowing it to fit easily into various laboratory setups.
The PX6 from Mettler Toledo is a sophisticated instrument that combines cutting-edge technology with intuitive features to deliver exceptional precision and reliability. It is the ideal choice for laboratories requiring high-performance weighing solutions for demanding applications.
