Description

A&D Scale PN BM-500

A&D Scale PN BM-500 is a high-capacity professional analytical balance with internal calibration and a built-in fanless ionizer, designed for precision weighing in laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, research institutions, chemical analysis, quality control, cannabis testing, manufacturing, and other applications requiring measurement at the 0.1 mg level. The BM-500 features a 520 g maximum capacity with 0.0001 g (0.1 mg) readability, providing an exceptional combination of analytical resolution and high weighing capacity for demanding laboratory applications.

A major advantage of the A&D BM-500 is its built-in fanless ionizer, which helps neutralize static electricity that can interfere with high-resolution weighing. Electrostatic charges on powders, plastics, filters, containers, pharmaceutical ingredients, and other samples can contribute to unstable readings and measurement errors. The integrated ionizer allows operators to reduce static interference directly within the weighing workflow, while its fan-less design avoids introducing additional air movement around sensitive samples.

The BM-500 provides a 520 g capacity, 0.1 mg readability, 0.2 mg repeatability, ±0.5 mg linearity, and an approximately 3.5-second stabilization time. Its Ø90 mm weighing pan provides a practical surface for laboratory vessels, samples, containers, and precision weighing applications. This combination of high capacity and analytical readability makes the BM-500 particularly useful when larger samples must be measured without sacrificing 0.1 mg resolution.

Designed for demanding analytical environments, the BM-500 features a large weighing chamber with anti-static glass to help reduce electrical interference and protect sensitive measurements from drafts and environmental disturbances. Automatic Response Adjustment allows the balance to adapt its response characteristics to vibration and air movement, helping maintain stable performance under varying laboratory conditions. Built-in environmental sensors can also monitor temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, providing additional information about conditions that may influence precision weighing.

The BM-500 includes internal calibration with automatic self-calibration, helping maintain weighing accuracy as ambient temperature conditions change. One-touch calibration simplifies routine accuracy management, while external calibration is also supported when required by established laboratory procedures. These capabilities make the BM-500 well suited for regulated laboratories and quality-control environments where consistent calibration and documented balance performance are important.

For professional data management, the BM-500 can store up to 200 weighing results and includes a built-in clock and calendar for adding date and time information to output data. The balance supports GLP, GMP, GCP, and ISO-oriented reporting, including information such as manufacturer, model, serial number, balance ID, calibration data, date, time, and signature fields. These capabilities help organizations integrate precision weighing into documented quality and compliance workflows.

Standard RS-232C and USB connectivity allows the BM-500 to communicate with compatible computers, printers, laboratory software, and data-collection systems. The balance supports simultaneous data-management options and can be expanded with compatible accessories for Ethernet, data logging, remote displays, and other specialized applications. An under-hook is also available for applications such as density determination and weighing magnetic materials.

Whether you’re performing pharmaceutical research, chemical analysis, laboratory sample preparation, formulation, quality control, cannabis testing, static-sensitive material weighing, or scientific measurement, the A&D Scale PN BM-500 delivers the capacity, precision, and advanced functionality required for demanding analytical applications. Its 520 g capacity, 0.0001 g readability, built-in fan-less ionizer, automatic internal calibration, Ø90 mm weighing pan, anti-static weighing chamber, environmental monitoring, 200-result data memory, and RS-232C and USB connectivity make it a powerful solution for professional analytical weighing environments.
