-
Readability: Selectable between 0.001 g, 0.01 g, 0.05 g and 0.1 g - for maximum precision, adapted to the respective application
-
Display: Large, backlit display for optimum readability even in poor lighting conditions
-
Operating concept: Intuitive, clear button operation for quick access to all basic functions
-
Interfaces: Model-dependent option for automatic data transfer (e.g. via RS-232/USB) directly to a PC or laboratory information systems
-
Protective functions: Housing protected against dirt and chemical influences, increased durability and minimised maintenance requirements
-
Versatile weighing units: Several units available, including grams, milligrams, carats, pounds, etc., selectable depending on the task at hand
Thanks to its compact design, it can be integrated into any laboratory or production environment to save space. The robust construction in combination with the IP protection class ensures long-lasting, low-maintenance operation even under high loads and in heavily frequented locations. The standard manufacturer's warranty also secures your long-term investment.
Special features: The KERN 572 is an exceptionally flexible precision measuring instrument: it covers a unique weighing range from a few hundred milligrams up to 24 kg and can therefore be used just as reliably for microanalyses as it can as a robust industrial scale. The chemical- and dirt-resistant construction rounds off the profile of this professional instrument. Certifications and standards
This model complies with current international quality standards for laboratory balances and meets all relevant standards (including CE conformity). Compliance with additional safety and calibration guidelines (e.g. according to DIN ISO) allows for unrestricted use in regulated environments such as pharmaceutical quality control or accredited testing.
Practical application examples
-
Chemical analyses: Precise weighing and dosing of solids, liquids and powders such as reagents, acids, solvents or polymers in synthesis, quality control or training.
-
Food laboratory: Precise determination of additives, spices, vitamins and trace elements for sample preparation or recipe development.
-
Cosmetics production: Dosing of active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, plant extracts or fragrances in the manufacture of creams, lotions and masks.
-
