I bought a precision scale which is not only a good quality scale but also cheapest in the UK. It also came with a 200g calibration weight which is absolutly handy!
I wasn't sure what to expect when buying this balance, I spent several days searching and trying to find a balance in the 500g range. Ideally I wanted one with 0.001g (1mg) accuracy and a power supply (Not battery powered) because the battery saving auto shutdown timers drive me nuts. I struggled to find anything with 0.001g accuracy that didn't cost thousands of pounds. Most of the balances in my price range (About £100) only offered 0.1 - 0.01g accuracy. Needless to say, I was very pleased when I found this fragrance foundry balance although a little sceptical of the 500 x 0.001g accuracy claim simply due to the scarcity and price of them in this range. I've now been using this balance for about a month and haven't regret the purchase for a second. I've tested with multiple different calibration weights, class a volumetric pipettes, micro pipettes and calibrated some pycnometers. Always getting reliable, repeatable and accurate weights to within 0.001g. Very impressed. 10/10.
I’d been looking to upgrade my scales for a while and when I saw Sam was selling these scales, at what I thought was a keen price for a precision instrument, I decided to buy some. I’m very pleased with them and would recommend them to anyone thinking of upgrading.
This scales was a solid investment and has really taken my perfume making to the next level. I can experiement with more nuance and better replicate formulae. It's also great to support an independent business which happens to be a fantastic learning resource. Speedy delivery too.
So far, so good. It came packaged really well. Nice and solid. Super accurate according to the 200.000g supplied weight. Nice color, easy to read if you have a vision issue. Back-lit display. Very pleased and very competitive price, shipping was a little higher but I'm based in the USA, so that is expected. The deciding factor was I could trust Sam and the Fragrance Foundry with reliable products so price I could careless about. I want and need quality above all else in Perfumery.
