Analytical Balances
Analytical balances are used for accurate weighing of reagents and media.
They are checked and calibrated annually by the manufacturer’s service
technician, and the results are recorded in the LIMS. Calibration records
are stored in the equipment logbook. Balances must rest on a firm, level
surface. Balance trays are wiped off after each use with water or a surface
disinfectant, such as Conflikt or 70 percent ethanol. |
