    1. Introduction 1. Introduction Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances are a product of our 80 year history of developing and manufacturing weighing instruments. Shimadzu UW/UX series of toploading balances utilize the patented Shimadzu UniBloc sensor, intro- duced in 1989, to achieve high performance, fast response, and durability. Available features include multiple units of measure, piece counting, checkweighing functions, auto print, and GLP/GMP/ISO out- put including date and time data from a built-in clock.
