The XPR Automatic Balance from Mettler-Toledo allows users to gain a level of weighing accuracy that is unrivaled by manual procedures. A very small sample amount can be dispensed at the readability of 2 µg, thus making sure that rare and costly substances are utilized economically.
The automated method not only saves time but also provides highly reproducible outcomes because of the manila effect of external sources of error on the weighing process.
Users no longer have to spend long periods of time carefully weighing out small samples. They can just enter the preferred amount on their XPR Automatic Balance, and the accurate amount will be dispensed instantly into their container in a completely automated process.
With the integrated sensors, samples can be dispensed in even the smallest tare containers, fully preventing sample transfer and its associated errors.
For precise, efficient and highly reproducible weighing processes, users can select automated weighing with the XPR Automatic Balance.
Automated weighing: efficient and safe
The XPR Automatic Balance is very simple to operate. Laboratory technicians can provide precise and reproducible results safely and efficiently, without undergoing any training.
Fewer errors and less rework
Automated dispensing reduces variability and generates highly reproducible results. About 50% of the out-of-specification errors can be prevented, helping to avoid expensive reworking.
Economical substance usage
Automated dispensing with the XPR Automatic Balance decreases the minimum net sample weight by up to 30%. This saves up to 75% of users’ rare samples or costly substance, and thus offers a fast return on investment.
Maximum user safety
Toxic and dangerous substances pose a threat to health, even as low as nanogram exposure levels. Automated dispensing along with the XPR Automatic Balance considerably decreases the risk of operator’s exposure to hazardous samples.

Automated weighing: Perfect concentrations
Combined with a liquid dispensing module, the XPR Automatic Balance allows users to make highly accurate concentrations down to 0.1 mg/g. Realizing a dilution factor of 10,000 is now possible in just one step.
The amounts of sample, standard and solvent needed are reduced significantly, saving both wastage and costs. The solution is directly prepared in the target container in an automated procedure that is quick, precise and economical.

Automate the documentation
Users can simply connect their XPR Automatic Balance to LabX® software and gain from wide data management options. They can receive step-wise user guidance on the balance display and preserve central control of instruments, users and tasks.
Digital documentation
Users’ weighing data, such as process information and metadata, is automatically stored in a safe centralized database or, alternatively to their ELN or LIMS. Thus, users can have complete traceability and be confident that they are audit-ready at any time.
Users can also create customized, printable reports or circulate electronic reports to assist efficient and eco-friendly data management.
Efficient workflows
SOP instructions are directly provided on the balance display. All the connected balances get the same instructions for each SOP, thereby guaranteeing reliable processes.
Through automatic calculations, customized user profiles and standardized processes, users can reduce the threat of human error and get precise weighing results right, the first time.
Centralized management of instruments and users
LabX can be used as the central control point for all the laboratory instruments. From any connected personal computer, users can handle all users and up to 60 instruments.
LabX offers an outline of upcoming and ongoing tasks, users can even view the generation of results in real-time. Plus, LabX alerts users when service or balance tests are due.
