Analytical balances: AP Series
Advanced Performance UniBloc Balances
High Speed — Fast weighing response:
Fastest Response in Its Class* with UniBloc AP Technology
Shimadzu analytical balances boast a one-piece UniBloc weighing sensor, which is now even more advanced. The improved UniBloc sensor offers up from 7 seconds (previous model) to 1.5 seconds faster response.
*Compared to previous Shimadzu models
Faster Response and Higher Stability
Stress Free — Reliable weighing results
Built-in High-Performance Ionizer (Optional)
A new ionizer is able to remove static electricity in about 1/10 the time of previous ionizers This unit allows acquisition of reliable weighing results by eliminating static electricity that can affect measurements without scattering powder.
Efficiency — driven Conveniences — Various productivity-boosting weighing applications
USB Offers Greater Expandability (USB host: APW only) NEW
Equipped standard with an RS232C connector, a USB device and a USB host. You can now simultaneously send output to both a computer and printer or connect a USB flash drive, a barcode reader, or an external numeric keypad.
Easy-to-Read Organic EL Display NEW
Because the pixel elements in the organic electroluminescence display emit light, the screen can be seen clearly even in dark locations. Multi-language display capability* provides a more intuitive operating interface. A wider viewing angle has also improved the visibility of measurement values, which helps increase the efficiency of measuring operations.
Exceptional Visibility
The visibility remains the same even when viewed from different angles. The
viewing angle is a wide expanse of ±85 degrees, both vertically and
horizontally. That means the display is clearly visible even when working beside
the balance. A high-resolution dot-matrix display makes it easy to read even
detailed text.

Display capture function
Weighing display can be recorded into USB memory in BMP format. User name, date/time, setting can be done with display information.
Numeric keypad
Connecting a common external numeric keypad makes it easier to enter numeric values. This is especially useful for entering the mass value of weights, setting upper/lower limit values for the comparator function, or entering the sample count during piece counting mode.
Barcode reader
A barcode reader can be connected. Simply reading a barcode makes it possible to input user ID/Password. It is possible to manage sample IDs using barcodes.
Periodic Inspection Support Function (APW/APX only) NEW
AP series supports periodic inspections. The function allows inspection of repeatability, corner load error, and linearity by simply following instructions displayed on the screen.
For Users of HPLC Systems (APW only)
Buffer Solution Preparation Mode (APW only) NEW
・Recipes for 13 commonly used buffer solutions are included as standard
Preparation recipes for commonly used buffer solutions are provided as standard.
e.g. disodium phosphate, sodium acid citrate
・Instructions are shown on the display
The target weighing value is shown on the display and analog bar in order to
compare the target with the current weight. Manual calculation is not needed.
・Record function
Record output with date, time and operator name.
Sample Preparation (APW only) NEW
Typically, preparation of a standard sample solution requires tedious
calculations.
AP series simplifies the process with automated calculations.
Functions Recommended for the Pharmaceutical Industry
High-Security User Management NEW
Operations can be kept secure with user ID and password protection. Access rights can be specified separately for each user to prohibit unauthorized actions such as performing calibration or changing the settings. User IDs can also be used for barcode management.
Minimum Sample Quantity (Warning Function) NEW
Reproducibility can be confirmed by repeatedly measuring weights as instructed by AP series. The minimum sample quantity is automatically determined from the standard deviation and recorded in AP series. If the minimum sample quantity requirement is not satisfied during measurement, an indicator flashes to warn the user.
Printing Data in Accordance with Various Regulations NEW
Functionality for customizing the content of printed information supports compliance with various ISO, GLP, GMP, and other requirements.
Recipe Function (AP-W only) NEW
Sample recipes can be registered, allowing users to simply follow instructions on display.
Supporting More Efficient Laboratory Work and Providing Higher Reliability
Weighing results and analysis results can be stored in a database. Reports can be generated according to results in a prescribed format.
Wide Variety of Functions to Support Users
Smart Settings
Response and stability settings can be changed during measurements with a single
touch. Changing the settings for different applications can make it even easier
to use.
The indicator is operated using the left and right arrow keys. Moving the
setting toward [R] prioritizes response, which makes it easier to operate the
balance. Conversely, moving it toward [S] makes it easier to stabilize weight
values, which can improve readability in environments with vibration.
PSC and Clock-CAL (APW/APX only)
A Perfect Self Calibration (PSC) function is included. The analytical balance automatically detects any temperature changes that could affect sensitivity and automatically starts calibration. The clock-CAL function enables automatic calibration at a pre-specified time (for example, before starting work, during lunch, or after work hours).
Specific Gravity Measurement
In combination with an optional specific gravity measurement kit, the balance
can be used to measure specific gravity.
By using sinkers, the specific gravity of liquid can be measured as well. This
allows measurement of the specific gravity of metals, rubbers, plastics, and
other materials easily.
