The W3300-500 is the largest sub-kg 10 mg readability entry in the Accuris W3300 Compact Balance family — 500 g capacity × 0.01 g (10 mg) readability. The largest of the three sub-kg 10mg-tier compact balances (120 g / 300 g / 500 g) before the family transitions to the 100 mg readability tier at 1.2 kg+ capacities.
For complete chemistry rationale (compact balance tier vs precision / analytical, application profile), see the W3300-120 parent page.

Pick the W3300-500 when: workflow needs maximum capacity at 10 mg precision — 500 g is the family cap before transitioning to 100 mg precision at higher capacities. For workflows needing 500 g at higher precision (1 mg), step to W3200-500 ($1,513). For workflows needing higher capacity at 100 mg precision, step to W3300-1200 ($459).
Application Profile
See the W3300-120 parent page for the full application profile.
The 500 g capacity is a common bench-balance capacity for clinical-research and academic labs — supporting typical reagent prep, multi-tube combined weighing, and standard biochemistry sample weighing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity and readability of the W3300-500? 500 g capacity with 0.01 g (10 mg) readability.
Where does the W3300-500 sit in the W3300 family? It is the largest of the three sub-kg 10 mg-readability variants (120 g / 300 g / 500 g), before the family transitions to the 100 mg readability tier at 1.2 kg and above.
Which calibration weight is recommended? The W1005-500 (500 g M1 weight, $80) for full-range verification.
When should I step up for more precision or capacity? Step to the W3200-500 ($1,513) for 1 mg precision at 500 g, or the W3300-1200 ($459) for higher capacity at 100 mg precision.
