Key Features

UniBloc Electromagnetic Sensor

Shimadzu’s UniBloc monolithic sensor cell achieves 0.1 mg precision through a single machined metal structure that eliminates mechanical joints and reduces drift.

GLP / GMP Documentation Output

The AP224Y prints records containing date, time, balance ID, result, and signature — satisfying pharmaceutical and ISO audit trail requirements instantly.

Fast 3-Second Stabilization

Analysts reach a stable reading in about 3 seconds, allowing high-throughput weighing sessions without sacrificing accuracy on any sample.

14+ Weighing Units

The balance switches between grams, milligrams, carats, ounces, troy ounces, grains, tael, and more — covering laboratory, trade, and jewelry weighing needs.

Below-Balance Weighing Hook

A built-in hook under the balance supports density determination and measurement of hanging or suspended samples that cannot rest on the pan.

RS-232C Data Output

The standard RS-232C interface connects the AP224Y directly to computers, thermal printers, and LIMS systems for seamless digital record-keeping.

Japan Manufacturing Quality

Shimadzu builds the AP224Y in Japan under rigorous quality standards, backed by over 140 years of precision instrument engineering experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the maximum capacity of the Shimadzu AP224Y Analytical Balance?

The AP224Y handles a maximum load of 220 g with a readability of 0.1 mg (0.0001 g), making it ideal for analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical QC, and precision research applications requiring sub-milligram accuracy.

Can I connect the AP224Y to a computer or laboratory printer?

Yes. The balance includes a standard RS-232C interface for direct data output to PCs, thermal printers, or LIMS systems, supporting digital record-keeping and paperless laboratory workflows.

Is the AP224Y compliant with GLP and GMP documentation standards?

Yes. The balance generates GLP/GMP-compliant printouts that include date, time, balance ID, measurement result, and operator signature — fully meeting pharmaceutical, ISO, and regulatory audit trail requirements.

How quickly does the AP224Y stabilize after placing a sample?

The AP224Y reaches a stable reading in approximately 3 seconds under normal laboratory conditions, supporting efficient high-throughput weighing without compromising measurement accuracy.

The balance operates on 100–240 V AC at 50/60 Hz through the included AC adapter, making it fully compatible with Bangladesh’s standard 220 V power supply without any additional converter.
