Anyone used Ohaus scales for lab work? Looking for reliability tips

EdlaGar's picture

We’ve recently upgraded some of our lab equipment, and one of the suggestions was to add Ohaus digital scales. I’ve heard mixed opinions about different brands, but I’m not sure where Ohaus stands in terms of accuracy and long-term reliability. In our lab, consistency is a huge deal because we often repeat the same experiments. If anyone has hands-on experience with these scales, I’d love to know how they perform over time and whether calibration is straightforward or a hassle.

I’ve used Ohaus balances for years, and I can honestly say they’ve been some of the most reliable tools in the lab. They’re accurate, user-friendly, and the calibration process isn’t complicated once you’ve done it a few times. One thing I appreciated was how sturdy they felt, even after daily use. If you need specifics, you can check manuals here: https://manuals.online/ohaus. It really helps when you want to troubleshoot or explore all the features.

From my perspective, Ohaus is a good choice for labs that need solid mid-range equipment. They’re not the cheapest, but they strike a nice balance between price and durability. I’d also suggest investing in regular calibration weights if you haven’t already, because even the best scales drift slightly over time. That way, you’ll keep accuracy consistent without surprises.
