Spill Protection Many of our customers have repeatedly requested greater spillage protection over the whole balance. In order to meet this request, we are pleased to offer our fully protective acrylic blister spillage cover for our 320 series balances. These are available immediately as optional extras and offer greatly improved protection again spillage- usual accessory re-sale discounts apply. We look forward to receiving your orders.

Vacuum Fluorescent (VFD) display After offering a choice of either vacuum fluorescent (VFD) or liquid crystal displays (LCD) for a number of years, Precisa Gravimetrics AG has decided to standardize on the more popular choice of VFD for all balances and moisture analyzers of the 320 series with the exception of the XR semi-micro models, and the XM120 moisture analyzer. The BJ series will, of course, remain as an LCD. The VFD is a high quality display and is usually the customer's first choice, as the attached PDF shows: it is attractive, bright and easy to read. Hoping, as always, to look after the best interests of our customers.
