    GENERAL INFORMATION INTENDED USE The PBL-Series precision balance enables fast and accurate mass measurements under laboratory conditions. The weighing pan, made of stainless steel and equipped with anti-draft shield, is an integral part of the PBL-series balance. Backlit LCD display ensures clear measurement result. The PBL-Series balance is equipped with an internal battery (comes standard), so it does not have to be connected to the mains.
