What's New

Scientech has now coupled NTEP (legal-for-trade) certification with our new revolutionary Zeta Series design for precision jewelry balances and for pharmacy compounding and pill counting. This unique marriage gives you the advantage of a very accurate scale, which complies with all the applicable technical requirements of Handbook 44 while possessing the ability to last decades under extreme abuse. This exclusive design is so impressive that these hardy models have been issued a patent and carry a 5-year North American warranty or a 2-year international warranty.

Under NTEP Certificate Number 07-017, two of our 1mg Zeta models now carry the NTEP non-computing jewelry scale, and one of our 1mg Zeta models has the non-computing scale for prescription compounding and pill counting. All models possess the Accuracy Class II designation. Each unit can be sealed off with a metrological seal by a State Weights and Measure inspector to prevent undetected access to the calibration function of the scale as well as possessing a tamper proof badge for all required information.

Please note that each Zeta scale has a weighing sensor with a suspension system which cannot be broken by customer abuse or by dropping a weight onto the weighing pan. As you might know, the highest failure mode for any analytical (0.1mg) or semi analytical (1mg) balance is a broken suspension system due to them having fragile pivots, pullers, flexures, or bearings. Then when any weight is dropped on the weighing pan (this is called shock loading) or by user misuse, these fragile pivots, pullers, flexures, bearing will break. The way our competitors try to handle this concern is to state that they have "overload" protections. However, overload protection does not protect against shock loading or customer abuse. Therefore, the damaged scale is not covered under warranty.

In contrast, the new technology used in the Zeta NTEP scales eliminates any pivots, pullers, flexures, or bearings. Therefore, it is not possible to break the suspension system of these rugged models. Please see the streaming video on the homepage of this web site to see what these scales can do. All observers who have seen this video have been stunned that the demonstrated abuse does not harm these scales.

In addition, each unrivaled Zeta NTEP model is handcrafted in the USA and retains all the accuracy, durability, and user-friendly standard features you have come to expect from Scientech. Also you will be assured by knowing that you are backed by an ISO9001 manufacturer.

Scientech is a world leader in providing OEM weighing sensors for a multitude of intregrated weighing applications. Whether you want high accuracy, high speed, small foot prints, or extreme ruggedness, we can meet your need. Custom designs with varying capacities, readabilities, footprints, and outputs are available to satisfy your specific requirement.

Our newest OEM offering is our brand new Zeta sensor which provides a major breakthrough in the design of analytical (0.1mg) and precision (1mg and 10mg) sensors. This breakthrough is that we have developed a weighing sensor with a suspension system which cannot be broken by dropping a weight onto the weighing pan.

As you might know, the highest failure mode for any analytical (0.1mg) or semi analytical (1mg) balance is a broken suspension system due to them having fragile pivots, pullers, flexures, or bearings. Then when any weight is dropped on the weighing pan (this is called shock loading) these fragile pivots, pullers, flexures, bearing will break. The way our competitors try to handle this concern is to state that they have "overload" protection. However, overload protection does not protect against shock loading. Therefore, shock loading is considered customer abuse and is not covered under warranty.

In contrast, the new technology used in the new Zeta OEM sensors eliminates any pivots, pullers, flexures, or bearings. Therefore, it is not possible to break the suspension system of these rugged models with shock loading. This has been clearly proven by demonstrations of extreme abuse by repetitively dropping a 2kg weight on the weighing pan of a 210g x 0.1mg sensor from a height of 25-37mm. All observers have been stunned that this severe abuse did not harm the sensor, and everyone agrees that our competitors' models would certainly break under these conditions. Scientech now has a streaming video of this demonstration which you can see on the homepage.

The foundation for this new technology is based on a direct-loading weighing cell concept, which differs dramatically from a normal lever sensor design. The result is a high quality, OEM weighing sensor.

Scientech is announcing a new Series of electronic balances based on a new, revolutionary weighing technology developed by Scientech. A patent for this new technology has been issued.

The foundation for this new technology is based on a direct-loading weighing cell concept, which differs dramatically from a normal lever sensor design. When used in combination with Scientech's unique and unequalled displacement detection system and our digital servo, the result is a high quality, weighing sensor that can easily handle readabilities even down to 0.1mg for less cost.
