KERN 440-43N Precision laboratory balance — 400 g / 0.1 g
The KERN 440-43N is a compact precision laboratory balance designed for routine weighing, percent determination and tight benchtop environments
- Compact dimensions ideal for small benchtops
- Percent determination for target-value weighing
- Draft shield included for protected weighing
- Readability 0.1 g with 400 g capacity
Accuracy and repeatability for reliable results
The balance delivers consistent results thanks to a strain gauge weighing system that translates load into stable readings. With a readability of 0.1 g, reproducibility 0.1 g and linearity ±0.2 g, the instrument supports repeatable measurements for routine laboratory tasks and quality checks. The device also provides information relevant to the USP minimum sample weight, which is a recognised criterion for deciding the smallest permissible sample for a given accuracy class; this helps laboratories follow pharmacopeial guidance when assessing small-mass samples and planning batch analyses.
Compact design keeps the workbench clear and protected
Engineered for space-constrained workflows, the unit’s compact dimensions (165 × 230 × 75 mm) and low weight make it simple to position on crowded benches. The stainless steel weighing pan (130×130 mm) is robust and easy to clean, while the included draft shield (work protection hood) reduces air disturbances for more reliable low-mass determinations. The low-profile format ensures precision without sacrificing usable bench space, making the balance suitable for analytical tasks in laboratories, teaching facilities and production control.
Flexible power and clear readout for uninterrupted operation
Power options match varied workshop environments: use the supplied mains adapter (adapters for CH, EURO, UK and US included) or the 9 V block battery for portable operation; battery runtime reaches approximately 20 h. The clear LCD with 15 mm digit height improves legibility for fast readings across shifts. The instrument operates within a standard laboratory climate (5 °C–35 °C, up to 80% humidity), ensuring stable performance in typical indoor conditions and enabling continuous measurement cycles without frequent interruptions.
Practical functions that streamline routine tasks
Built-in functions focus on productivity: percent determination allows weighing to a predefined 100 % reference and quickly displays deviation from target values, while piece counting supports small-part inventories with a laboratory minimum piece weight of 200 mg (and 2 g under normal counting mode). These functions reduce manual calculation steps and help standardise repetitive processes. The solid functional set combined with straightforward controls supports efficient workflows and lowers the risk of operator error during daily quality-control routines.

FAQ
What level of accuracy can be expected from the balance?
The KERN 440-43N precision laboratory balance provides a readability of 0.1 g with reproducibility of 0.1 g and a linearity of ±0.2 g, offering consistent accuracy for routine weighing applications.
Can the balance be used without mains power?
Yes, the KERN 440-43N supports battery operation using a 9 V block; battery runtime is approximately 20 hours for portable or interruption-free use.
How does percent determination work on this instrument?
Percent determination on the balance allows setting a reference weight as 100 % and then displays deviations from that target, simplifying formulations and comparative checks during production and QC.
What is the smallest mass recommended for accurate results according to pharmacopeial guidance?
The instrument provides guidance related to the USP minimum sample weight concept; users should consult the displayed USP minimum sample weight information and laboratory procedures when handling very small masses.
Is the balance suitable for piece counting of small components?
Yes, the unit includes piece-counting capability with a laboratory minimum piece weight of 200 mg and a normal counting threshold of 2 g, making it suitable for small-part inventories and packing tasks.
