KERN ALS 160-4A — analytical balance with high resolution and graphic display
The KERN ALS 160-4A is an analytical balance designed for laboratories, pharmaceutical use and materials testing, offering high-resolution weighing, a clear graphic display and built-in recipe functions for controlled dosing and complex formulations.
Graphic display with multilingual plain-text prompts
High resolution 0.0001 g for precise measurements
Integrated recipe memory with name and target values
Large three-door glass draft shield for easy access
Reliable accuracy for trace-sensitive tasks
High-resolution performance is central to the instrument’s benefit: the device delivers a readability of 0.0001 g, supported by a linearity of ±0.0003 g and reproducibility of 0.0001 g, which together ensure consistent results for delicate measurements. The concept of minimum sample weight (USP) is supported as a quality metric for legal and pharmaceutical workflows; it shows the smallest mass at which stated accuracy can be expected. By relying on these specifications, laboratories reduce rework and improve method validation, translating technical precision into reproducible outcomes on the bench.
Faster workflows with guided handling and recipe control
A graphic display with clear, multilingual prompts simplifies operation and shortens training time, while the recipe memory stores complete formulations with component names and target values to speed repetitive processes. The balance’s checkweighing function allows upper and lower tolerance limits to be entered so that optical and acoustic signals assist in portioning and sorting. This combination reduces operator error, supports traceable batch production and makes dosing tasks measurably more efficient in busy laboratory or production environments.
Stable weighing and ergonomic design for daily use
Stable readings are achieved quickly thanks to a short settling time that returns reliable values in approximately four seconds under laboratory conditions; adjustable filters and a high-stability mode further improve repeatability when required. Handling is aided by an ergonomically optimised keypad suitable for left- and right-handed users and a three-door glass draft shield that provides comfortable access to the sample while protecting against air currents. The stainless steel weighing pan and compact housing keep maintenance straightforward and suit confined bench spaces without compromising performance.
Built-in calibration and practical accessories for integration
Accuracy management is supported by the CAL justifying program for easy adjustment using external calibration weights (available separately), and the force compensation weighing system ensures long-term stability. Optional accessories such as the ioniser (ALJ-A03) neutralise electrostatic charge to improve weighing of lightweight or non-conductive samples. Multiple plug adapters are supplied for AUS, CH, EURO, UK and US mains, easing international deployment. These features allow the balance to be integrated into regulated workflows in pharmaceuticals, R&D and material testing with minimal adaptation.

FAQ
How is calibration performed on this analytical balance?
Calibration is performed using the integrated CAL program; the KERN ALS 160-4A supports adjustment with external calibration weights to ensure ongoing accuracy.
What is the smallest reliably weighable sample for precise results?
The KERN ALS 160-4A offers a readability of 0.0001 g; minimum sample weight considerations such as the USP minimum sample weight should be applied to determine reliable results for specific methods.
Can the draft shield be opened easily for dosing tasks?
The three-door glass draft shield allows comfortable access to the weighing pan while maintaining protection from air currents, making dosing and sample placement straightforward.
Is the balance suitable for pharmaceutical or research laboratory use?
Yes, the instrument is intended for pharmaceutical applications, research and materials testing where high resolution, recipe management and traceable checkweighing are required.
Does the balance support electrostatic neutralisation for light samples?
An optional ioniser (ALJ-A03) is available to neutralise electrostatic charge and improve weighing performance for lightweight or non-conductive samples when fitted
