Laboratory analytical balances are indispensable tools in scientific research, quality control, and various analytical processes. To measure the mass of substances with exceptional precision is critical for ensuring accurate results across a spectrum of industries, these balances come in various types, each catering to specific needs and requirements.

Analytical balances can be categorized in different ways based on their precision and mechanism. 

Precision-based series includes analytical balances, microbalances, ultra-microbalances, and semi-microbalances. analytical balances with  standard precision range which is commonly used for quality control and analysis. Microbalances and ultra-microbalances are designed for weighing extremely small quantities, semi-microbalances strike a balance between precision and capacity

Mechanism-based series Electronic balances utilize advanced technology for precise measurements, with digital readouts and data handling capabilities. On the other hand, mechanical balances employ a lever-arm mechanism for comparative weighing and are still used in certain applications today due to their historical significance and simplicity.
