A&D Weighing Launches Compact Analytical Balances
for Laboratory and Production Use.

At home in the tight confines of glove boxes and fume hoods,
the 6 models of the HR-A & HR-AZ Series take up less space and provide more value.

San Jose, CA – September 25, 2012

A & D Weighing announces the launch of the HR-A & HR-AZ Series of Compact Analytical Balances. The HR-A models are available in 3 capacities; 102 g, 152 g and 252 g, all with 0.1 mg readability (resolution). The HR-AZ models add automatic internal calibration for quicker, more accurate measurements.

To increase measurement accuracy a anti-static breeze break is standard with all models, because static electricity can seriously compromise precision weighing. The shatterproof breeze break also reduces the risk of accidental breakage and contamination, which is especially important in pharmaceutical (FDA) environments and food (HACCP) applications.

A&D Weighing listened to the requirements of users who need a flexible, reliable balance in a compact format. Rotary doors size mean that balance needs no extra space with the doors open – perfect for use in crowded glove boxes and fume hoods.
