Is Your Analytical Balance Accurate? Uncover the Secrets to Reliable Weighing

Essential strategies for maintaining accuracy, ensuring data integrity, and upholding regulatory compliance in your lab’s weighing processes

Written bySartorius andLab Manager

Accuracy is at the core of scientific advancement, creating robust and reliable research. However, certain instruments within the lab, like the analytical balance, are especially vulnerable to disruptions that can compromise accuracy. Environmental factors, such as drafts, temperature fluctuations, and magnetic interference, can introduce deviations. Additionally, balances require regular maintenance and calibration to maintain performance over time. If these facets are not properly managed, the consequences can be costly, including wasted resources, extensive rework, and drawn-out project timelines.

Lab balance connectivity further supports both accuracy and data integrity by eliminating manual data entry, streamlining workflows, improving data security, and increasing automation. In regulated environments, these balances must also comply with regulatory standards like 21 CFR Part 11, which governs electronic recordkeeping. Without proper compliance measures, such as audit trails, access control, and secure data transfer, labs risk data security breaches and regulatory violations, which can compromise data integrity and result in potential fines. 

Fortunately, maintaining accuracy and data integrity doesn’t have to be an uphill battle. By following the targeted strategies outlined in the following infographic you can overcome both operational and regulatory challenges. This resource provides practical guidance on controlling environmental influences, maintaining analytical balances, and ensuring compliant data handling.
