Building a Better Future in Academia, Science, and Education
Research and Education move us in new directions, make a difference in people’s lives, and push the frontier of knowledge to shape the future.
Each discipline has its own set of needs, but one thing remains constant: the need for reliable, quality equipment to serve as the building blocks of your work.
A&D Weighing is proud to serve the various fields in Academia with our wide selection of products – combined with user-friendly, intuitive controls, and innovative features designed specifically with lab users in mind.
CHALLENGES IN ACADEMIA
Tight Benchspace
Lab space comes at a premium, and often there are multiple people working on a very small bench space. Equipment that can save on space, like the Gemini GR Analytical Balance and the Newton EJ Portable Balance, is valuable to students and staff alike.
Different Skill Sets of Users
In your lab, there could be Chemistry, Pharmacology, Biology, and other types of students using the same equipment as tenured staff doing research. Having equipment that is adaptable – and usable by all – is key. This includes density kits, animal weighing kits, and more.
Data Integrity is Critical
A&D believes that the results you get are “More Than a Measurement”. In other words, the weights that come from balances are used in other calculations and must be accurate because they inform the rest of your processes. Additionally, The ability to send these measurements to a PC or integrate easily into with equipment or a printer helps ensure accurate results. We’ve even included lock-out specs so that lab students and assistants can’t change settings.
Budget Friendly
Many in Academia work on grants or a shoe-string budget. To help maximize value and get the most out of each purchase, A&D Weighing offers many products with metal top and bottom housing to ensure a reliable and durable product. In addition, our selection of IP65 balances are spill proof for students who are just learning their way around the lab, or for labs that deal with wet and dusty materials.
WORKFLOW INTEGRATION
Once you’ve selected the right weighing equipment that is robust and accurate to satisfy your application’s challenging environment, you want to make sure that it also integrates easily with your workflows.
