Precision Measurements OHAUS Scales and Balances at Wiltronics Equip your classroom or lab with the accuracy and reliability trusted by educators, researchers and industry. When accurate measurement really matters, the right instrumentation makes all the difference. At Wiltronics, our lab-equipment specialists recognise that whether you’re performing chemistry titrations, physics force experiments, or routine industrial weighing, you need a scale or balance you can depend on. That’s why we’re proud to offer the OHAUS range of scales and balances — designed for educational, laboratory and industrial applications.

In this article we’ll explore: Why OHAUS is a go-to brand for precision measurement Key features to look for when selecting a balance How OHAUS scales support STEM & curriculum work in Australian schools Six recommended products (with correct links) available via Wiltronics Tips for selecting and maintaining your balance Why Choose OHAUS? Founded in 1907, OHAUS has over a century of experience in manufacturing scales and balances in the laboratory, industrial and educational sectors. 
Here are some of the standout reasons to choose OHAUS: High accuracy & repeatability: Critical when you’re doing experiments where measurement error can skew results and interpretation. Designed for education and labs: Many models have rugged build-quality, classroom-friendly features and ease of use. Wide selection of capacities and resolutions: From small portable balances for student use through to high-capacity industrial models. Trusted supplier in Australia: Wiltronics is an authorised OHAUS dealer and offers support for schools and labs. Why Wiltronics? At Wiltronics you benefit from: Access to the full OHAUS range and expert advice for education/industry. Local Australian supply, support and service – minimising downtime and freight delays. Bulk/educational pricing options for schools and laboratories. Confidence that you’re getting genuine OHAUS products backed by warranty and local partner support. Features to Look For in a Balance When you’re choosing a scale or balance for your lab or classroom, consider these key features: Capacity vs readability – Do you need to weigh heavy lab samples, or do you need very fine precision (eg. 0.001 g)? Stabilisation time – Faster stabilisation means less waiting and more efficient practical sessions. Connectivity – Features like USB, RS-232 or network interface allow data export for reporting or logging. Calibration method – Internal self-calibration or external standard calibration, depending on your compliance or lab standards. Durability / classroom suitability – For school use, models that tolerate heavier handling, offer overload protection and are easy to clean are a plus. Supporting STEM & Curriculum in Australia For schools working through Australian Curriculum STEM and science programs, precision measurement is integral. The OHAUS range supports practical experiments in chemistry (mass, reaction yields), physics (forces, mass comparisons), biology and environment (mass of organisms, sample masses) etc.

By equipping your lab with reliable balances, you support: Accurate quantitative data collection and analysis Student confidence in measurement and results Seamless integration of practical work across Years 7–12 and beyond
At Wiltronics, we partner with schools to match the right balance model to curriculum needs—whether for a general classroom or a senior-science specialist lab. Top 6 Recommended OHAUS Balances from Wiltronics   OHAUS Scout SPX222 Portable Precision Balance — 220 g × 0.01 g. A great entry-level precision balance for classrooms or general lab use; compact, stackable and durable. OHAUS SPX223 Compact Bench Scale — 220 g capacity with high resolution (0.001 g). Suits more advanced lab work where finer measurement is required. OHAUS Scout STX621 Touchscreen Balance 620 g capacity, touchscreen interface, ideal for modern labs with digital data workflows. OHAUS i‑C31M200R Weighing Scale (200 kg) For industrial or workshop environments where high capacity is essential (up to 200 kg).

OHAUS Scout STX Portable Touchscreen Balance Flexible capacity variant (select model as needed), touchscreen interface, modern style for senior labs or research use. (All linked from Wiltronics’ site to ensure local availability and support.) How to Choose the Right Model for Your Needs For general school lab use: A model with capacity ~420-620 g and readability ~0.1 g or 0.01 g is often sufficient (e.g., Scout series). For advanced/senior science labs: Finer readability (0.001 g) or larger capacity may be required (for chemistry/physics work). For industrial use / workshops: Look at models with higher capacity (kg-range) and possibly more rugged design. Consider connectivity / data export if you want to capture measurement data electronically for logs or reports. Budget & service/support: Wiltronics can assist with bulk/educational pricing, calibration services, and local supply. Care & Maintenance Tips To ensure your balance continues performing well: Place on a stable, vibration-free surface; consider anti-vibration mounts for sensitive models. Avoid drafts, temperature fluctuations and air currents (these affect measurement). Calibrate regularly (as per manufacturer guidelines) and use internal calibration if available. Clean the pan and surroundings carefully; avoid abrasive chemicals that may damage surfaces. When not in use, cover the balance to protect from dust and accidental loads. Document measurement traceability if used for assessments or accreditation. Ready to upgrade your lab’s weighing capability?

Modern Biology Classroom Microscopes for 2026 From Cells to Systems: Why Microscopy Matters In a biology classroom, the microscope is more than just a tool — it’s a portal to a world unseen. Students move from seeing leaves, insects, and pond water to observing cells, tissues, and microscopic life. With the right microscope and accessories, the learning becomes vivid, hands-on, and aligned with the curriculum. As schools plan ahead for 2026, now is the time to invest in a microscope-suite that will engage students and stand the test of time. What to Look for in Classroom Microscopy Durability & Safety: Classroom microscopes must endure day-in, day-out use, with sturdy stands, easy focusing and intuitive controls. Flexibility of Magnification & Lighting: Biological features span scales; you’ll want something that can handle basic viewing (40x) through to high magnification or digital capture for sharing. Digital Capability: More than ever, teachers want to project images, capture video and enable group learning. Digital or WiFi/USB microscopes make this far easier. My Tech Classroom+2Wiltronics+2 Curriculum Alignment: Equipment should support outcomes such as investigating cells and tissues, bodies and systems as per the Australian Curriculum. Wiltronics+1 Budget & Bulk-Procurement Options: Especially for labs serving multiple classes, ease of quoting, bulk discounts and service support are important factors. 🎓 Planning for the 2026 School Year Since many schools prepare their budgets and resources in Term 4, this is the perfect time to audit your current microscopy suite: Review current student-to-microscope ratio: Are students waiting long to use the scope? Identify missing tech: Do you require digital capture/projection, or still rely on single-eyepiece monoculars? Consider future teaching: For Years 11-12 biology, will you need high magnification, digital imaging for portfolios or live capture for class demonstration? Budget for bulk: Ask Wiltronics for education bulk pricing and delivery scheduling so equipment is in place by Term 1, 2026. Align with curriculum: Ensure your microscope hardware supports outcomes around “cells and systems”, “body systems”, “biological change”.
