The A&D Apollo series balances are an excellent solution for high level analytical weighing. They feature the new ISD shock detection that can display and record shock impacts to determine when and how strong the shock impact was. The Apollo is designed with the A&D SHS (Super Hybrid Sensor) that allows for high levels of repeatability and extremely quick readings. It also includes the new ECL which is an internal self diagnostic check the can perform a repeatability test without the assistance of external weights. This test takes under a minute and a half to perform and provides results such as if the balance passes or fails, standard deviation, minimum sample weight, and alerts to ensure the user is within USP41 compliance. The GX-A version of the Apollo features an internal calibration for one touch calibrations. Even with all these advance and helpful features the Apollo is an overall simple to use balance that requires minimum training for operation.
