In battery mode, using a rechargeable battery pack, the KERN PCJ precision balance can be adjusted using a rotary knob, without the need for mains power. It is also flexible and can be connected to a PC or network using different interfaces.
With the KERN EasyTouch software, which the KERN & SOHN family business is introducing at analytica, measuring and weighing data can be managed in Windows or Android and can be analysed using specialised functions.

Precisely weighed, accurately analysed

KERN will present laboratory balances and the EasyTouch software at analytica 2024

KERN & SOHN GmbH will be at analytica on Stand 208 in Hall B2 and will be presenting its new measuring and weighing products for the laboratory. These include, amongst other products, a new precision balance as well as the KERN EasyTouch measuring and weighing software. The world’s leading exhibition for laboratory technology, analytics and biotechnology will be taking place in Munich from 9 to 12 April.

Precise and networked

The KERN PCJ precision balance is tailor-made for connection to Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS). A menu lock function prevents unauthorised users accessing the device. In addition, the balance has an integrated alibi memory: This means that the weighing data is documented with date, time and identification number. This allows the results from weighings which require mandatory verification to also be analysed electronically and processed further in the proper manner.

The exchange of data and control commands between the balance and PC or network can be achieved using several interfaces, for example RS 232, USB, Bluetooth or WLAN. This is possible due to the integrated KERN Universal Port, which allows the required interface adapter to be simply plugged in.

The menu of the balance offers several settings which can be adapted to meet individual needs. For example, a key can be assigned with different functions for rapid access. With the PCJ, KERN is launching another balance with a standardised, user-friendly concept of operation. Balances of this generation are consistent in design across all products and have the same menu structure, key functions, interface connection as well as interface protocol.

Digital and transparent

The KERN EasyTouch software which is being shown at the exhibition allows you to collect measuring and weighing data and store this data digitally, analyse it and process it further. Numerous functions for different areas of application such as weighing, counting, recipe-weighing, growth and drying processes can be brought together in the modular system. Detailed measuring and weighing data is stored such that it cannot be altered and is traceable. In this way EasyTouch contributes to process security, even with complex weighing procedures.

KERN will also be presenting a wide range of analytical balances, microscopes and refractometers at analytica 2024.
