Introducing the New OHAUS EXPLORER Balance Series

The new EXPLORER Balance Series builds on more than 100 years of precision engineering and customer insight to deliver a balance designed for the next generation of laboratory performance. The series includes two ranges, EXR and EXP, both engineered to exceed expectations in accuracy, ease of use, and data integrity.

EXPLORER Plus: Enhanced Usability and Advanced Features

The EXPLORER Plus (EXP) range introduces a suite of advanced capabilities that elevate productivity and user confidence.

Effortless Leveling

A fully motorized leveling system with a digital level bubble ensures perfect setup at the touch of a button, reducing errors and saving valuable time.

Flexible Placement Options

A detachable terminal and base design let you position the balance in tight workspaces or inside fume hoods without compromising usability.

Simplified, Safe Operation

Touchless automatic draft shield doors with anti-pinch safety features ensure smooth, contamination-free operation. A new square weighing pan and dedicated laboratory kits – including holders for centrifuge tubes, needles, filter fibers, and rotary evaporator components – streamline sample handling.

Real-Time Weighing Monitoring

Customizable status lights provide immediate visual feedback on weighing process status, supporting more efficient laboratory workflows.

Enhanced Security and User Management

Fingerprint login with capacity for up to 100 users and a detailed 100,000-entry system log ensures secure, traceable operation suitable for regulated environments.

Versatile Workflow Support

Access to 3000 shared sample libraries across specialized applications simplifies complex weighing tasks and supports consistent, standardized workflows.

Superior Measurement Stability

Integrated ionizers neutralize static charges inside the chamber for improved repeatability and result stability.

Precise Environmental Adaptation

An elevated digital load cell platform and three ambient sensors (temperature, humidity, and air pressure) continuously monitor environmental conditions to ensure optimal measurement accuracy.

What’s Common Across the New EXPLORER Ranges

Both EXR and EXP models provide a unified foundation of performance, accuracy, and usability.

Key Benefits:

User-Friendly Experience

A large 7-in. glass touchscreen delivers intuitive navigation, digital leveling, and simplified data management. The balances arrive ready for rapid, effortless installation.

Consistent Accuracy and Outstanding Performance

Internal automatic calibration ensures reliable precision, while ionizer technology minimizes static effects. A square gridded pan, protected load cell, and multiple environmental sensors contribute to stable and repeatable measurements.

Robust Data Management

Features include 4-level user management with password policies, a 100k-entry system log for routine weighing and device changes, and NTP time synchronization for audit-ready time stamps.

Connectivity and Data Integration

Connect seamlessly to laboratory systems via HID (PC or keyboard without drivers), USB Type-A, USB Type-C, Ethernet LAN, RS232, and optional Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Integration with LIMS platforms is straightforward and reliable.

Environmental Commitment

ECO power-saving mode reduces power consumption by up to 65 percent during idle periods. Optimized packaging lowers shipping costs and reduces environmental impact.

Choose EXPLORER For:

• Exceptional accuracy and consistently reliable results

• Best-in-class user experience and operability
