Mettler Toledo MS3002TS Precision Balance features

The Mettler Toledo MS-TS Series has built in security features ensuring that the readings are always accurate. An automatic warning system will alert operators if there is any problems or the tolerance on not adhered to. This allows for quick corrections of any issues and avoid cost involved with correcting these errors later.

The MS-TS features the renowned MonoBloc weighing cell with ProFACT internal calibration for quick and easy re-calibrations. The highly visible 7 inch color TFT touchscreen display is operable through cotton, silicon and rubber gloves which allows the balance to be used in a variety of industries and applications. The MS-TS is "loaded" with additional helpful features such as the LevelContron, MiniWeigh, and a security pass-code to lock certain features.

Testing

This Mettler Toledo Precision Balance is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test balances to ensure repeatability, correct cornerload tolerances, linearity, and reduced span at or near full capacity.

We also test all displays and controls as well as any other features that are included, such as auto-calibration and draft shield auto-retraction, to make sure the balances are fully operational.

Pictures

The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment.

We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.

Mettler Toledo MS3002TS toploading balance frequently asked questions

I see proFACT advertised with a lot of Mettler balances. So what exactly is proFACT and how does it work?

ProFACT is an acronym for “Professional Fully Automatic Calibration Technology, which is Mettler’s proprietary automatic internal adjustment system built into most laboratory weighing machines. It uses internal weights to continuously adjust the balance to environmental factors that might otherwise impact weighing accuracies like temperature changes. This ensures sustained accuracy in weighing results without daily or weekly manual calibration. So it’s both a time saver and accuracy enhancer for your laboratory.

Do you calibrate the Mettler MS3002TS as part of your testing?

Yes, part of our testing regimen for all balances includes calibrating them using NIST traceable weights. We also strongly recommend that customers either perform a bench calibration themselves upon receiving a new/refurbished balance or better yet have a professional calibration service test the unit. (This should be performed on a regular, annual basis as well.)

Do I need to purchase a draft shield to use with this unit?

In some cases your application may require a draft shield, but most toploading balances with large weighing pans do not typically require draft shields for operation. The larger pan is less sensitive to air currents.

Testing Procedures for Used and Refurbished Laboratory Balances

Ensure Precision, Repeatability, and Weighing Accuracy

Used and refurbished laboratory balances from American Instrument Exchange undergo thorough, multi-point testing to ensure accurate, reliable performance in scientific, industrial, and pharmaceutical settings. Each balance is carefully inspected, calibrated, and evaluated to meet the stringent standards required for analytical, precision, and micro weighing applications.

Why Testing Used Laboratory Balances Is Essential

Before a laboratory balance is placed back into service, it must be rigorously tested for:
• Weighing accuracy across full capacity range
• Repeatability and linearity
• Load cell and sensor functionality
• User interface and calibration system integrity

Comprehensive balance testing helps eliminate measurement errors and guarantees performance in high-precision environments such as R&D, formulation labs, and quality control facilities.

Our structured balance testing protocol ensures every refurbished unit delivers consistent results and trusted performance.

Key Testing Procedures for Refurbished and Used Laboratory Balances

1. Initial Visual Inspection

• Inspect housing, leveling feet, draft shield, and weighing pan for wear, cracks, or corrosion
• Check control panel, power cord, and buttons for damage or signs of tampering
• Confirm presence and condition of all required components (e.g., shields, adapters, trays)

2. Functional Startup and Interface Testing

• Power on the balance to verify display initialization and zeroing functionality
• Test user interface responsiveness, menu access, and programmable features
• Evaluate stabilization time and auto-tare functions

3. Calibration and Accuracy Testing

• Perform internal calibration (if equipped) and verify operation
• Use certified calibration weights to perform external calibration
• Check for accuracy at multiple weight points across the balance’s range

4. Repeatability, Linearity, and Corner Load Testing

• Conduct multiple weighings of identical test weights to confirm repeatability
• Test linearity by weighing at low, mid, and high points across the range
• Evaluate corner-load accuracy by placing test weights at different positions on the pan

5. Load Cell and Sensor Integrity Verification

• Test load cell response for consistency, drift, or hysteresis
• Verify sensor functionality and precision at sub-milligram levels (for analytical/microbalances)

6. Electrical Safety and Grounding Checks

• Inspect wiring and power components for safety and compliance
• Verify proper grounding and electrical insulation to meet lab equipment standards

7. Final Quality Assurance and Documentation

• Perform a full operational test under simulated lab conditions
• Record and document all calibration results and test metrics
• Final cleaning and inspection before shipping
