The W3300-120 is the smallest-capacity entry in the Accuris W3300 Compact Balance family — 120 g capacity × 0.01 g (10 mg) readability. The W3300 compact balance tier sits below the W3200 precision balance tier in the Accuris balance hierarchy and is engineered for budget-tier bench weighing workflows at 10 mg readability.

Two readability tiers in the W3300 family:
- 10 mg readability (120 g, 300 g, 500 g) — sub-kg bench-weighing precision tier
- 100 mg readability (1200 g, 5 kg, 10 kg) — kg-scale bulk-weighing tier
Accuris Balance Tier Hierarchy
| Tier | Family | Readability | Capacity range | Per-unit cost range |
| Analytical | W3100A / W3101A / W3102A / W3002A | 0.1 mg / 0.01 mg semi-micro | 62 g – 220 g | $2,219 – $3,992 |
| Precision | W3200 | 1 mg / 10 mg | 120 g – 5000 g | $1,220 – $1,513 |
| Compact (this product family) | W3300 | 10 mg / 100 mg | 120 g – 10000 g | $354 – $616 |
| Mini / portable | W4000 | 10 mg / 100 mg | 100 g / 500 g | $46 – $52 |
Pick the W3300-120 when:
- Workflow is budget-tier bench weighing at 10 mg readability and small capacity (120 g)
- The W3200-120 precision balance ($1,220) is over-engineered for the workflow (W3200 has 1 mg readability vs W3300's 10 mg — 10× more precise)
- The W4000 mini balance is too small / not bench-mounted enough for the workflow
Application Profile
Bench-tier reagent weighing at sub-100 g — academic / clinical-research / educational bench workflows where 10 mg precision is sufficient.
Educational laboratory weighing exercises — coursework introducing balance-tier hierarchy with compact-balance demonstrations.
Multi-investigator shared bench at budget-tier procurement — facilities procuring multiple bench balances benefit from W3300 cost-optimization.
Method-development workflows at non-analytical precision — protocol-development workflows where 10 mg precision is sufficient.
Field-deployment bench weighing — field-lab installations where compact-balance form factor matters.
Replacement / upgrade procurement — labs upgrading from older bench balances benefit from the W3300 compact tier.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity and readability of the W3300-120? 120 g capacity with 0.01 g (10 mg) readability.
Where does the W3300-120 sit in the Accuris balance hierarchy? In the Compact tier — below the W3200 precision tier (1 mg) and the analytical tier (0.1 mg / 0.01 mg semi-micro).
Which calibration weights are recommended? The W1100-200 F1 set ($618) for full-range verification, or W1005-family M1 weights for a cost-optimized option.
When should I pick a higher-precision balance instead? Step to the W3200-120 precision balance ($1,220) when the workflow needs 1 mg readability — 10× more precise than the W3300's 10 mg.
