Instrument Offers Simplified Weighing Processes and Accurate Results

Mettler Toledo’s XSR Analytical Balances help simplify laboratory workflows and enable convenient and ergonomic balance operation while delivering high-weighing accuracy.

Mettler Toledo’s XSR Analytical Balances deliver a robust and reliable performance for everyday weighing tasks. Automated, easy-to-configure draft shield doors and an intuitive user interface enables efficient weighing. Ergonomic design allows users to rest their arms while dosing as well as to dismantle the balance easily for fast and safe cleaning.

The instrument’s features include:

  • Efficient weighing: the motorized draft shield doors can be configured to open and close according to specific requirements to simplify and speed up repetitive weighing operations. StatusLight ensures that all the conditions for correct weighing are met to achieve reliable results. Features such as the results protocol make routine tasks easier, according to the company.

  • Intuitive user interface: the color touchscreen user interface contains clear icons and easy-access menus. The user can save customized weighing methods to be able to directly begin with daily weighing tasks. This interface is also 100% glove compatible.

  • Ergonomic design: the instrument has been designed to provide the most comfortable weighing experience available to alleviate repetitive lab work. The weighing chamber provides easy access from both left and right. The low-positioned weighing pan allows users to rest their elbows on the bench for more comfortable dosing.

  • Easy cleaning: the draft shield and weighing pan dismantle in seconds and the tray underneath slides out, removing the need for tools. Additionally, all parts are dishwasher-safe.
