Entris II Essential (BCE) Analytical Balance
The Sartorius Entris II Essential (BCE) analytical balances weigh 60 g, 120 g or 220 g with 0.1 mg readability and a typical stabilization time of 1.5 seconds or less. Offering best value for basic weighing, they combine isoCAL internal adjustment (on "i" models), a hybrid LED and touch display and 12 built-in applications in a budget-friendly balance.
Overview
The Sartorius Entris II Essential (BCE) Analytical Balances offer unrivalled value for basic weighing tasks at 0.1 mg: the only balance in this class featuring isoCAL, LED touch technology and 12 built-in applications, backed by almost 150 years of German engineering expertise. Six models cover the range:
Internal adjustment (isoCAL): BCE224i-1S (220 g), BCE124i-1S (120 g) and BCE64i-1S (60 g).
External adjustment: BCE224-1S (220 g), BCE124-1S (120 g) and BCE64-1S (60 g).
Quality you can trust
A monolithic weigh cell invented by Sartorius delivers accurate results year in and year out.
The fastest stabilization time in its class, overload protection and the "@start" self-test make the balance reliable.
Parts made of hard-wearing PBT, stainless steel and glass give high chemical resistance, and a wipe-clean design with easy-to-remove parts prevents cross-contamination.
Specially coated glass draft shield parts minimize errors caused by electrostatically charged samples, and the draft shield can be removed completely.
Easy to use
A hybrid screen combines intuitive, wear-resistant LED and touch technology in a clearly structured user interface. Twelve built-in applications with GLP/GMP compliant printout and data output cover weighing, dosing, counting, percentage weighing, mixing, components, animal weighing, calculation, density determination, statistics, peak hold, checkweighing and mass unit conversion, plus an underfloor weighing feature for bigger samples. Eight built-in languages (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Polish) and password protection that guards the balance against unintentional changes are included.
Plug-and-play connectivity
The balance detects Sartorius accessories such as a printer or a second display automatically. A future-proof USB Type-C interface and an RS232 9-pin interface (for backwards compatibility) are provided, and the PC-Direct feature sends weighing data directly into spreadsheets or documents.
All models have a Ø 90 mm weighing pan and a weighing chamber 240 mm high, and measure 219 × 317 × 345 mm (W × D × H). Our team can help you choose the right model and accessories.
