Title: Good scale and 100mg calibration weight EU HELP
Post by: SetTheControls on August 15, 2013, 08:23 am
Hello!

I'm in need of a good scale capable of measuring 50-100mg doses with accuracy. I also need 100mg and 500mg calibration weights because I really need to be sure of the doses. If someone could point me towards a reliable EU store where I can find these items it would be appreciated! :)

Price is not as important as quality, I need a scale that will serve me for years!

Thank you!

edit. I've been trying to search for some calibration weights but finding 100mg for a reasonable price is proving to be difficult. How do people make sure that your doses are accurate in the 50-100mg area? I really need to be sure that the doses are correct, and volumetric dosing is out of the question in this situation.

You can get a cheap milligram scale on ebay for like $20. It'll be good to within 5mg. You can pay a couple hundred dollars for a top of the line cheap scale and get maybe to plus/minus 3mg and then there is a biiiig jump in price for the quality lab scales that cost thousands that are good to a milligram. It isn't just a matter of money, it's also technique. You can't just toss crap on there and take it off. You have to use gloves and tweezers and a level and microcurrent shield and a bunch of other stuff. So the question becomes can you live knowing that you're within 5 migs of the dose or are you really anal, wealthy and have loads of patience?

Thank you for your response!

Maybe I'm looking for something between the 20€ and professional scales. I just want a scale that I can trust. I'm really not that anal or wealthy, but I'm selling a product that must be within 5mg of what I advertise.

It would be nice to find a scale that uses 500mg or 100mg for calibration, I mean how can you measure 0.1 g with a scale that's calibrated with 1g-5g weights?
