Routine Testing of Balances and Scales
Maintain Weighing Accuracy and Performance of Your Balance and Scale
Program Overview
- What routine testing is
- The difference between routine testing, calibration, and adjustment
- The consequences of not testing a balance or scale
- The four pillars of routine testing
- Good Weighing Practice™ (GWP®)
Balances and scales play a critical role in research and development, quality assurance, and production. Errors in weighing cost time and money, due to rework, waste, and product recalls.
In order to maintain consistent product quality and comply with standards and regulations, the performance of balances and scales needs to be verified regularly with a calibration. Routine testing of balances or scales in-between these scheduled calibrations helps to maintain accuracy by ensuring early detection of non-conformance with weighing process requirements so that corrective action can be taken in a timely manner.
This webinar will give you a good understanding of why balance and scale testing is crucial for the accuracy of your weighing results in laboratory and production environments. We explain what your routine testing plan must contain, and, on top of that, we offer an overview of how to perform these routine tests correctly.
Webinar: Laboratory Balance Cleaning
The Importance of Regular Cleaning of Laboratory Balances for Safe and Efficient Weighing
Program Overview
- Why cleaning lab equipment is important for safety and weighing accuracy
- The consequences of not cleaning your balances correctly
- How often you should clean your balance
- The detergents that are suitable for balance cleaning
- The balance features that support fast and effortless cleaning
- Laboratory balance cleaning is extremely important for accurate weighing results and operator safety. It can be challenging but also fast and easy if you know how to do it right.
A clean analytical balance or precision balance is the first step toward safe and accurate weighing. Cleaning increases user safety reduces the risk of cross-contamination, and is the most important action to prolong instrument life.

Basics of Moisture Determination
Fundamentals of Fast and Efficient Moisture Content Analysis with a Halogen Moisture Analyzer
Program Overview
- The definition of moisture
- Different methods for moisture analysis
- Comparison of a drying oven and a halogen moisture analyzer
- How to prepare samples for moisture analysis correctly
- Method development to match results from the drying oven
- Routine testing for moisture analyzers
Moisture content affects the processability, shelf life, usability and quality of a product. Accurate moisture content determination therefore plays a key role in ensuring quality in many industries including Food, Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals. Furthermore, the maximum permissible moisture content in certain products may be legally regulated (e.g., national food regulations). Watch our webinar on the basics of moisture determination and learn how to achieve reliable moisture results with a halogen moisture analyzer.
Calibration and Qualification in Accordance with GMP Requirements
Weighing According to GMP Requirements
Program Overview
- What GMP is and why it is important in weighing
- How to apply GMP requirements to your processes
- What calibration and qualification of weighing instruments are
- How equipment qualification is done in a way that satisfies GMP requirements
- How METTLER TOLEDO can support you in getting weighing calibration and qualification under control
This webinar explains what calibration and qualification of weighing instruments are and why these related concepts are important for Good Manufacturing Practice. It also shows how to seamlessly incorporate these important concepts into a weighing process to ensure both weighing accuracy and product quality.
In the highly regulated pharmaceutical and medical device industries, even the smallest inconsistencies can lead to serious product issues. As weighing instruments and applications are present in almost every stage of a manufacturing workflow, they can strongly influence the quality and integrity of the final product.
Good Manufacturing Practice or GMP is a regulation that is applicable to any pharmaceutical production process. It ensures that pharmaceutical products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards.
Weighing according to GMP requirements
In many countries, GMP has been integrated into national laws that must be followed by pharmaceutical manufacturers.
