Excellence Plus XP balance offers superior weighing performance and user, sample and data security, due to the synergy of three innovations — SmartSens, a hands-free user option; SmartGrid, the grid-style weighing pan; and SmartScreen, a color touchscreen display allowing full compliance options. The balance can be operated hands-free with SmartSens for the weighing of hazardous and/or valuable substances. The user can concentrate fully on the safe handling of samples to avoid spillage and minimize the risk of contamination. The two built-in sensors can be programmed individually, enabling the user to tare, open and close the draft shield or print. Bluetooth printing capabilities allow users to document results without the worry of contaminated printouts. SmartGrid minimizes the effects of turbulence in the weighing chamber. Results are more accurate and stabilization times are dramatically shorter, guaranteeing that even the smallest sample sizes can be used while still meeting regulatory requirements. The SmartScreen color display ensures data security compliance with stringent quality standards. Individual, color-coded profiles can be configured and documented for up to eight users or methods.
