High-Precision Electronic Balance for Pharmacy Compounding and Dispensing
The WT6002 is a laboratory-grade electronic balance scale with a 600g maximum capacity and 0.01g (10mg) readability, designed for pharmacy compounding, active pharmaceutical ingredient measurement, excipient weighing, and quality control applications where small errors in mass directly affect therapeutic dose. The high-quality load cell provides long-term measurement stability across varying temperature and humidity conditions — a critical requirement in South African pharmacies and compounding laboratories where environmental conditions may differ between air-conditioned dispensing areas and less controlled storage spaces. With a linearity of ±2d at maximum capacity, repeatability of 2d, and sensitivity of 1d, the WT6002 performs within the tolerance requirements of routine pharmaceutical dispensing and GMP-compliant compounding workflows.
Glass Windshield, LCD Display, and RS232 Connectivity
At 0.01g resolution, air currents are a primary source of measurement error. The large glass windshield fully encloses the Ø115mm weighing pan to shield it from draughts and ambient air movement, ensuring stable readings in clinical and compounding environments where air conditioning, extractor fans, or foot traffic would otherwise introduce noise at this precision level. The backlit LCD display provides clear readability across variable lighting conditions. Zero tracking and auto tare functions reduce operator steps during sequential weighing, improving workflow throughput in busy dispensing environments. The RS232 interface enables the WT6002 to connect to a computer, pharmacy dispensing system, or label printer for automated data capture — supporting documentation requirements for GMP-compliant compounding records and pharmacy management systems.
Certifications, Optional Accessories, and South African Availability
The WT6002 holds CE, ISO, and RoHS certifications, confirming compliance with international standards for precision weighing instruments in healthcare and laboratory environments. Optional accessories extend the functional range of the unit: a printer for direct weight-ticket output, an under-hook attachment for density determination or suspended weighing, a rechargeable battery for portability, and a remote display for weighing in constrained workspaces. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the WT6002 is suited to independent pharmacies, compounding laboratories, hospital pharmacy departments, health clinics, and medical research facilities requiring reliable precision balance weighing at 0.01g resolution.
