Compact Balance 300g (Product Code: SLE/LB/23) is a portable centigram electronic balance used to weigh the small reagent quantities of student chemistry and biology practicals. It reads up to 300 g with 0.01 g readability and 0.02 g linearity on a 100 mm pan, and its colour-coded three-button operation and sealed keypad keep it simple for classes. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside its wider chemistry lab equipment range.

Centigram readability is the level most secondary chemistry practicals need: weighing a few grams of salt for a solution of known concentration, finding water of crystallisation by heating a hydrated salt to constant mass, or measuring the mass change when magnesium burns. It sits naturally beside a science lab kit for class 10 practicals, and biology groups use it for seed and leaf masses where a whole-gram reading is too coarse.
At 0.01 g the reading responds to air movement, so keep the balance away from ceiling fans and open windows. Tare a watch glass or weighing paper, add the solid slowly with a spatula, wait for the display to settle, and lift off the platform after the session to wipe away spilled crystals.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited uses the trading name ScienceLab and supplies the Compact Balance 300g from Ambala, Haryana, India to schools, colleges and small laboratories. Chemistry departments often source it together with watch glasses, weighing papers and spatulas, so a complete small-quantity weighing station arrives on one order.

How precise is the Compact Balance 300g?
The Compact Balance 300g reads to 0.01 g with 0.01 g repeatability and 0.02 g linearity, up to a maximum load of 300 g, which suits the few-gram reagent quantities used in secondary and college chemistry practicals.
Should I choose the Compact Balance 300g or a higher-capacity compact balance?
Choose the Compact Balance 300g when quantities are small and the second decimal place matters, such as salts for standard solutions. The higher-capacity Compact Balance 2000g takes heavier loads such as soil or water samples, but at a coarser readability.
What powers the Compact Balance 300g?
The Compact Balance 300g runs from the included 12V AC 50/60Hz 150mA adapter, or from 6 x AA batteries that you supply. Battery life is listed as 3 hours per set, so use the adapter for long lessons.
How do I calibrate the Compact Balance 300g?
Calibration of the Compact Balance 300g is external and is started through the keypad. Please confirm with us whether a calibration weight is included with your order, as it is not stated in our current listing.
Who supplies the Compact Balance 300g?
The Compact Balance 300g is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Share the quantity, delivery location and any accessories required, and we will reply with a quotation.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Compact Balance 300g?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Compact Balance 300g should be discussed with our team when you request a quotation. Contact us with your requirement, and we will explain what documentation can accompany the balances.
