The W3300-1200 is the smallest kg-scale capacity entry in the Accuris W3300 Compact Balance family — 1200 g (1.2 kg) capacity × 0.1 g (100 mg) readability. The first family variant where readability transitions from 10 mg precision (sub-kg models 120/300/500g) to 100 mg precision (kg-scale models 1200/5000/10000g). Engineered for bulk reagent / buffer prep workflows at 1 kg+ capacity where 100 mg precision is sufficient.

Pick the W3300-1200 when:
- Workflow needs bulk weighing at 1 kg+ capacity with 100 mg precision (typical bulk reagent / buffer prep, multi-tube combined weighing at 1 kg scale)
- 1.2 kg capacity is sufficient (step to W3300-5K or W3300-10K for larger capacity)
- 100 mg precision is sufficient (for 10 mg precision at 1.2 kg, step to W3200-1200 precision balance at $1,226)
Pricing observation: W3300-1200 ($459) and W3300-5K ($459) share the same price — chassis-tier pricing rather than per-spec capacity. The 5 kg variant delivers 4× capacity at the same price, making W3300-1200 the right pick only when bench footprint matters (1.2 kg balances are physically smaller than 5 kg balances) or when the lab's workflow is consistently in the 1 kg range.
Application Profile
Bulk reagent / buffer prep at 1 kg scale — workflows where 1 kg buffer prep needs 100 mg precision sufficient.
Multi-tube combined weighing — combining multiple sample tubes for total-mass measurement at 1 kg scale.
Educational laboratory bulk-weighing exercises — coursework introducing balance-tier hierarchy.
Industrial / process biotech weighing at 1 kg scale — bench-scale industrial workflows where 100 mg precision is the standard.
Multi-investigator shared bench at 1 kg-scale workflows — shared benches running mixed bulk-weighing workflows.
Replacement / upgrade procurement — labs upgrading from older 1 kg bench balances.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the capacity and readability of the W3300-1200? 1200 g (1.2 kg) capacity with 0.1 g (100 mg) readability.
Why is readability 100 mg rather than 10 mg? The W3300-1200 is the family's first kg-scale model, where readability transitions from 10 mg on the sub-kg models (120/300/500 g) to 100 mg on the kg-scale models (1200/5000/10000 g).
Is there a same-price larger-capacity option? Yes — the W3300-5K (5 kg) also lists at $459, delivering 4× the capacity in a larger footprint.
What if I need 10 mg precision at 1.2 kg? Step up to the W3200-1200 precision balance ($1,226).
Which calibration weight is recommended? The W1005-1000 (1 kg M1 weight, $133) for full-range verification.
