Comprehensive Guide to METTLER TOLEDO Semi-Micro Balance MS205DU (0.01mg/0.1mg Dual Range)
Introduction to METTLER TOLEDO MS205DU Semi-Micro Balance
The METTLER TOLEDO MS205DU is a high-precision semi-micro balance designed for laboratories that demand exceptional accuracy with dual-range functionality (0.01mg in fine range / 0.1mg in standard range). As part of METTLER TOLEDO’s renowned MS series, this balance combines Swiss engineering excellence with cutting-edge weighing technology, making it ideal for pharmaceutical research, chemical analysis, forensic labs, and quality control applications where ultra-fine measurements are critical.
With a 220g capacity (82g in fine range), the MS205DU bridges the gap between analytical and semi-micro balances, offering unmatched precision for small sample quantities while maintaining higher capacity than traditional microbalances. Its FACT automatic internal calibration, advanced draft shield design, and GxP compliance features ensure reliable, repeatable, and fully traceable results in regulated environments.
