WolfLabs has committed to reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2024 baseline year, using a science-based targeting approach. As many other companies look at ways they can be more sustainable, we have six tips on how to run your balance more sustainably.

1. Clear any debris and dust away from the balance on a regular basis. We recommend using a mini vacuum cleaner as sing a brush can brush dust and debris into the weighing cell.

 2. Water damage as a result of cleaning is a common occurrence. If you think performance has been affected by water damage, let your service agent know this over the phone as they may be able to give advice that would prevent the costs associated with a service call.

 3. Clean away any powder spills immediately. If powder attaches to internal weights, it will affect the balance’s accuracy.

 4. Don’t leave anything on the weigh pan when you turn the balance off. This can appear to reduce the balance’s maximum capacity through the balance zeroing on power-up.

 5. Be careful over your choice of cleaning products as some are corrosive. We recommend a mild cleaning agent such as washing up liquid on a damp microfibre cloth to clean any stains and then cleaning again with a clean, damp microfibre cloth.

 6. Following on from the above, also be careful over your choice of disinfectants as many of these contain bleach that will corrode stainless steel.

These tips are suitable for our balance ranges:

• Analytical balances
• Industrial/platform balances
• Moisture analyser balances
• Portable balances
• Top-pan balances
• Ultra micro balances
