Entris II Essential (BCE) Precision Balance
The Sartorius Entris II Essential (BCE) precision balances weigh from 220 g up to 8,200 g with 1 mg, 10 mg, 100 mg or 1 g readability and a typical stabilization time of 1.0 second 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) Precision Balances offer unrivalled value for basic weighing tasks: 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. Models with internal adjustment are marked i (for example BCE623i-1S); the others are adjusted with an external test weight.
1 mg models with draft shield (Ø 120 mm pan)
BCE223 (220 g), BCE323 (320 g), BCE423 (420 g), BCE623 (620 g) and BCE653 (650 g), each with internal (i) and external adjustment.
10 mg models with open pan (182 × 182 mm pan)
BCE622 (620 g), BCE822 (820 g), BCE1202 (1,200 g), BCE2202 (2,200 g), BCE3202 (3,200 g), BCE4202 (4,200 g) and BCE6202 (6,200 g), each with internal (i) and external adjustment.
100 mg and 1 g models with open pan
100 mg: BCE2201 (2,200 g), BCE5201 (5,200 g) and BCE8201 (8,200 g). 1 g: BCE6200 (6,200 g) and BCE8200 (8,200 g). Each with internal (i) and external adjustment.
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.
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 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. Our team can help you choose the right model and accessories.
