A&D BM-5 Ion Microbalance, 5.2 g x 0.001 mg, Internal Calibration, Built-in Ionizer

Description

A&D BM-5 Ion Microbalance: 5.2 g × 0.001 mg

The A&D Weighing BM-5 is a single-range microbalance from A&D’s Ion BM series. It reads 0.001 mg (1 µg) up to 5.2 g and has a built-in fan-less ionizer that removes static charge from samples and vessels at the press of the ION key.

One-touch internal calibration and Automatic Self Calibration keep the balance accurate as the room temperature changes. Built-in sensors display temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure; the large anti-static breeze chamber blocks drafts; and USB and RS-232C come standard for GLP/GMP/ISO data output.

Calibration Options from MNM Scales

Get your BM-5 calibrated and ready to use on day one. Add either option to your order, and our TDA-certified technicians calibrate it in-house before it ships:

• In-house calibration with certificate, using NIST-tested weights: $95. We calibrate and verify your BM-5 with NIST-tested weights and include a calibration certificate, so it arrives set up and accurate. Add $95 calibration to cart
• NIST calibration with a NIST-traceable certificate: $395. Full calibration documented on a NIST-traceable certificate, for pharmaceutical labs, QC programs, and audits that need a paper trail. Add $395 NIST calibration to cart

We also recalibrate scales and balances you already own, by mail-in or in our shop, with on-site service across Houston and the surrounding area. Request calibration or call (832) 290-3120.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the readability of the A&D BM-5?

0.001 mg (1 µg), with a 5.2 g capacity.

Does the BM-5 have internal calibration?

Yes. It has one-touch internal calibration and Automatic Self Calibration, plus external calibration if you need it.

BM-5 vs. BM-5D: what’s the difference?

The BM-5 reads 0.001 mg across its full 5.2 g range. The BM-5D is dual range: 0.001 mg to 2.1 g and 0.01 mg to 5.2 g.

Is the AD-1688 data logger included?

No. USB and RS-232C are built in; the AD-1688 logger is an optional accessory.
