Many tare vessels, especially plastic ones, are prone to static charging, which can negatively influence weighing results. Powdery samples tend to be scattered or stick to the tare container due to static electricity. If the sample is toxic or harmful, this could be dangerous to the operator.

Antistatic Solutions

Electrostatic Charging Negatively Affects Weighing

Universal Kit for All Needs
The Universal AntiStatic Kit can be used with practically all balances and weighing substances. The weighing sample or container is automatically discharged by passing it through the ionizer when the balance is being loaded. No additional operating steps are necessary.

Fast and Efficient Solution to Eliminate Static
METTLER TOLEDO's AntiStatic Kits generate positive and negative ions which discharge statically-charged samples or tare containers within a few seconds, without generating any air turbulence in the weighing chamber.

Static Charges Eliminated with XPR Analytical Balances
StaticDetect in XPR Analytical Balances measures the weighing error due to electrostatic charging and provides a warning if tolerances are exceeded. In combination with the optional ionizer, it is a unique solution that guarantees static-free weighing.

Workplace Safety with Anti-static kits
The antistatic kit completely removes electrostatic charges. Scattering of powdery weighing substances is eliminated, preventing sample cross-contamination.

Ergonomic Design For Your Needs
An integrable point ionizer can be fitted in six different positions, depending on sample size and shape, and whether the user is right or left handed.

White Paper: Electrostatic Charges During Weighing
This white paper explains what causes electrostatic charges and how quickly they dissipate. It also describes how analytical balances detect the presence of electrostatic forces and determine how large the measurement errors can be, and gives advice on how these charges can be eliminated.
