The OHAUS Corporation, a leading manufacturer of balances and scales for the laboratory, industrial, education and specialty markets worldwide, added the Pioneer™ Series Analytical Balances and Pioneer Precision Balances to its line of products, close to one year ago.  The line has been a great success.  The Pioneer Series of balances was designed to meet routine weighing needs in laboratory, industrial and educational settings. Pioneer possesses the sophistication of state-of-the-art balance technology, is easy-to-use and is designed for basic applications. Pioneer offers advanced features, including an upfront level indicator, that helps ensure accuracy for all weighing situations. Selectable environmental settings and filter modes allow the user to adjust the balance sensitivity to environmental disturbances, further adding to the Pioneer’s capabilities. Several of the Pioneer Series balances feature an analytical draftshield enclosure that is constructed of glass panels, including three sliding doors, all of which are easy to remove, clean and replace.

Pioneer balances also feature:

• Nine difference capacities ranging from 65g to 4,100g
• Multiple application modes and units, including basic “Weighing,” “Parts Counting,” and “Percent Weighing” modes
• 19 international weighing units plus one custom unit
• Rugged construction that protects the balance from damage
• An integral menu lock comprised of software and a mechanical switch to lock menus
• A built-in “weigh below” hook, to allow for suspension of an item below the balance to calculate density/specific gravity
