Balances are one of the most ubiquitous instruments in laboratories and serve an important role in a wide range of processes, from preparing carefully measured samples or reagents, to determining density, to calibrating pipettes. Accurate and precise mass measurements are critical to the success and repeatability of experiments, and there are many influences that can impact the performance of a laboratory balance when best practices are not followed. Here are a few do’s and don’ts to keep in mind during laboratory weighing procedures.
