If you need precision, accuracy, saved data for audits, or want a balance you can customize with features that can make your weighing much easier with just a touch, then consider a touch-screen balance. Some of the features can include, but are not limited to, a capacitive touchscreen for easy use; customizable menu screen to match your everyday needs; touchless feature to minimize contamination; statistics working mode to automatically calculate and quickly analyze data from a series of measurements; a built-in memory to automatically record measurements, preview, copy and archive data; easy-to-adjust filter settings depending on your working environment and more. These are just some of the features you can find on today\u2019s touch-screen balances. But the one thing to remember, you can have a touch-screen balance within your budget.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a capacitive touch-screen balance?<\/h2>\n<p>Capacitive touchscreens are easy to press, and some can even work when you wear gloves. You don\u2019t need to press down hard on the buttons for the balance to work. A light touch will do the trick. And a color capacitive touch-screen display provides clear visibility of weighing results. This type of touchscreen stands up to the wear and tear of daily use, and if maintained per the operating manual, it will last for many years without fading.<\/p>\n<h2>Example of a touchscreen on a balance<\/h2>\n<p>A set of buttons that are easy to use even with gloves on surround a large LCD that is easy to read.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14209\" style=\"width: 698px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/p\/cole-parmer-ta-touch-screen-analytical-balances\/72154\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14209\" class=\"wp-image-14209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coleparmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Touch-screen-balance-line-art.png\" alt=\"Touch-screen balance line art\" width=\"688\" height=\"291\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14209\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cole-Parmer T Series Touch-Screen toploading and analytical balances include capacitive touchscreens that you can use even when wearing gloves.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Touch-screen balances to meet your needs<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been wanting one but just can\u2019t seem to justify it, then read on because you can finally get that touch-screen balance you\u2019ve wanted.
