Accuris W3200 Precision Balance Family — Capacity / Readability Comparison
| SKU | Capacity | Readability | List price |
| W3200-120 | 120 g | 0.001 g (1 mg) | $1,220 |
| W3200-320 (this product) | 320 g | 0.001 g (1 mg) | $1,307 |
| W3200-500 | 500 g | 0.001 g (1 mg) | $1,513 |
| W3200-1200 | 1200 g | 0.01 g (10 mg) | $1,226 |
| W3200-3200 | 3200 g | 0.01 g (10 mg) | $1,307 |
| W3200-5K | 5000 g (5 kg) | 0.01 g (10 mg) | (sister pricing) |
Pick the W3200-320 when: workflow needs 1 mg readability at mid-capacity range — typical reagent prep, multi-tube combined weighing, sample preparation where the 120 g capacity is too small but full 500 g capacity is over-engineered.
Pricing Observation
The W3200-320 ($1,307) and W3200-3200 ($1,307) share the same list price despite different capacity / readability — reflecting the Accuris pricing model where balance pricing is driven primarily by chassis tier rather than per-spec capacity. The 320 g 1mg-readability balance and the 3200 g 10mg-readability balance occupy the same chassis tier price with different capacity / readability trade-offs.
Application Profile
See the W3200-120 parent page for the full application profile.
The 320 g capacity covers mid-range reagent prep, multi-tube weighing, and standard biochemistry workflows that benefit from 1 mg precision at higher-than-120g capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the capacity and readability of the W3200-320? 320 g capacity with 0.001 g (1 mg) readability.
Where does the W3200-320 sit in the W3200 family? It is the mid-capacity 1 mg-readability model, between the W3200-120 (120 g) and W3200-500 (500 g).
What calibration weights are recommended? The W1100-200 F1 set ($618) for regulated workflows, or the W1005-family M1 weights for cost-optimized calibration.
Why do the W3200-320 and W3200-3200 cost the same? Accuris prices these balances by chassis tier rather than per-spec capacity, so both occupy the same $1,307 tier.
What voltage does the W3200-320 use? 115 V; a 230 V version is available by special order.
Ordering & Configuration
