What you need to know before purchasing a lab scale

Beside your lab notebook the scale is your most important tool in the formulation lab. The precision, reproducibility and the batch size of your formulations all depend on the sclaes you use.

In this video, I give you some tips for purchasing lab scales. Keep in mind that there is no right or wrong (well almost) and there is no "best" lab scales. There is always a "best" for a specific purpose. When it comes to lab scales you usually need to have more than one scale to cover all of your formulation requirements (I'm not talking about production site scales, just the scales for your product development lab).
