A&D BM-5D Ion Microbalance, Dual Range 2.1 g x 0.001 mg / 5.2 g x 0.01 mg, Internal Calibration, Built-In Ionizer

Description

A&D BM-5D Ion Microbalance: 2.1 g × 0.001 mg / 5.2 g × 0.01 mg

The A&D Weighing BM-5D is the dual-range model in A&D’s Ion BM microbalance series. It reads to 0.001 mg (1 µg) up to 2.1 g and 0.01 mg up to 5.2 g, on a Ø25 mm pan. It calibrates itself with a motor-driven internal weight, and a built-in fanless ionizer neutralizes static on samples and containers.

The BM-5D comes with A&D’s AD-1676 tabletop draft enclosure, gold-coated filter pans, and the AD-1688 data logger, which stores up to 5000 results with date and time.

Key Features

• Dual range: 2.1 g × 0.001 mg and 5.2 g × 0.01 mg (smart range switching)

• Minimum weight 5.0 mg (typical, USP Chapter 41)
• Motor-driven internal calibration with automatic self calibration
• Built-in fanless DC ionizer to remove static
• AD-1676 tabletop draft enclosure included
• Gold-coated Ø50 and Ø95 mm filter pans and aluminum sample pans included
• RS-232C and Quick USB; AD-1688 data logger included
• Counting, percent, and specific gravity modes
• 5-year A&D warranty

Calibration Options from MNM Scales

Get your BM-5D 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-5D 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

BM-5D vs. BM-5: what is the difference?

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

Does the BM-5D have internal calibration?

Yes, motor-driven internal calibration with automatic self calibration when the temperature changes.

Is a draft enclosure included?

Yes. The AD-1676 tabletop draft enclosure comes with the BM-5D.

Can MNM Scales calibrate the BM-5D before it ships?

Yes. Choose in-house calibration with a certificate, using NIST-tested weights, for $95, or NIST calibration with a NIST-traceable certificate for $395.
