Why does a balance need to be calibrated and what is the recommended frequency for
balance calibration?
Calibration is required anytime the ambient conditions change, a balance has been moved or is found out of level. Since
deviations in sensitivity/span can occur, its important to calibrate your balance at regular intervals to ensure the balance is
functioning within its specifications. Sartorius recommends calibration and preventive maintenance for your laboratory
balance at least once a year or more frequently depending on your environment or standard operating procedure.
