01 gram accuracy with a capacity of 30g, if I remember correctly. 1 gram accuracy and a capacity of 400g, and then other with a. A baby scale is probably sufficient for most of these applications but in today's market I can imagine a good used mechanical baby scale would be more expensive and harder to find than a precision lab top-loader. They resolve miligrams if not fractional miligrams- and are more than sufficient for even phenidone or dimezone measurements.įor less critical measures (and when you need to measure out more than 100g of something) there are some nice mechanical lab top-loaders also available for very little money. They probably sold for over $2000 USD 30-40 years ago which is real terms is many times the current price of state-of-the-art analytical balances. They are, while less convienient than the electronic models, just as acurate, better made and significantly more long term reliable. As digital has pushed the price of used darkroom gear into a black hole, digital balances have pushed (though changes in the demand and qualification of lab workers) them into the dumps. I'd suggest you keep an eye out for mechanical (pre-1980s) lab analytical balances.
