Ohaus Voyager VP214DCN is a dual range analytical balance. In the fine range when weighing samples from 0-100g in capacity you'll have 0.1mg readability. Once the cumulative weight on the weighing pan exceeds 100 gram the readability drops by a factor of ten or 1 milligram readability for samples 100g-210g.
Ohaus Voyager lab balances calculates the density for you - no calculator or scratch paper needed. The embedded software allows the Ohaus Voyager balance to store in memory the initial weight in air, then the weight of the object submerged in the liquid (typically distilled water - 1.00 g/ml, but could be glycerin - 1.26 g/ml, 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol 0.81 g/ml). If you don't understand specific gravity review this example of
density determination.
Performing density determination inside the draftshield requires the purchase of Ohaus' optional density determination kit. You could also use the weigh below hook and suspend the sample beneath the balance, but this is not recommended on 0.1mg analytical balances since air turbulence typically interferes with your weighing results.
The Voyager VP214DCN is
NTEP Approved (a.k.a.
Legal for Trade) making this a popular balance with pharmacist for pharmacy compounding. The dual range feature can be handy weighing powders and small dosages to 0.1mg while weighing solutions/liquids from 100g-210g to 1 milligram.
Ohaus VP214DCN is a "Legal for Trade" precision balance and we highly recommend you click the Certificate of Conformance hyperlink below in the balance specification table to fully understand the Ohaus VP214DCN limitations. The Ohaus VP214DCN NTEP / Legal for Trade mode specifications are 210g x 1mg.
One design issue you
should be aware of with the Voyager Series when the balance is used in the non-NTEP mode is the inability to disable the use of internal calibration. The Ohaus line is the only balance we know of that does not allow you to disable the internal calibration. Where this becomes an issue is most calibration A2LA Certification Calibration companies will NOT calibrate a balance unless the internal calibration can be disengaged. If your balance is going to require A2LA Certification the
Sartorius CPA224S Analytical may be a better choice.
Voyager Pro is available in either four Analytical or 12 precision models and you can
see them all here.
