A&D Weighing GF-203AN Apollo Precision Balance, NTEP, 220 g x 0.001 g

Yes. The GF-203AN is an NTEP and Measurement Canada Class II approved precision balance. It provides 0.001 g (1 mg) displayed readability, while the verified scale division (e) is 0.01 g for the applicable legal-for-trade configuration. This makes it a useful option for businesses that need high-resolution measurements together with an approved instrument for commercial weighing. Local weights-and-measures requirements may still apply before the balance is placed into legal-for-trade service.

The GF-203AN combines a 220 g maximum capacity with 0.001 g (1 mg) readability, allowing users to detect very small changes in sample mass. It provides 0.001 g repeatability and ±0.002 g linearity, making it suitable for formulation, sample preparation, quality control, laboratory testing, production, and other applications requiring milligram-level measurements.

The GF-203AN uses external calibration, meaning sensitivity adjustment is performed using an appropriate external calibration weight. This configuration can be particularly suitable for laboratories and businesses that already maintain certified or traceable reference weights as part of their quality procedures. Customers who prefer built-in calibration can compare it with the GX-203AN, which uses internal calibration.

The GF-203AN includes a 3.6-inch-high breeze break to help shield the weighing area from drafts and surrounding air movement. This is particularly useful at the balance's fine 0.001 g readability, where airflow can make readings less stable. The breeze break helps create more consistent weighing conditions when measuring small or lightweight samples.

Yes. The GF-203AN provides USB and RS-232C connectivity, allowing weighing results to be transferred to compatible computers and other equipment. This can reduce manual transcription and simplify electronic data collection in laboratory, quality-control, production, and commercial workflows. The balance also supports applications including counting, percentage weighing, animal/dynamic weighing, density determination, statistics, and underhook weighing.
