Description
The Doran PC-400 Diaper and Specimen Scale is built entirely of stainless steel for nursery and lab weighing that must clean fast. Its exclusive Quad-Spring shockproof base virtually eliminates damage from shock and overload, the two killers of small precision scales. NICU, nursery, and laboratory staff get gram-level precision in four capacities matched to the load they actually weigh.
- 304 Stainless Steel Build – The full stainless body wipes down and disinfects quickly between weighings.
- Quad-Spring Shockproof Base – The field-proven base design protects the weighing mechanism from drops and overloads.
- Reads to 0.1 g – The finest capacity resolves a tenth of a gram, which suits diaper output and specimen work.
- Rechargeable Battery – The internal battery recharges in under four hours and the scale keeps working while it charges.
Precision Small-Load Weighing That Survives the Nursery
Diaper and specimen weighing lives on precision, and the PC-400 delivers it in capacities from 2 lb to 20 lb. The 6.5 in square platter suits diapers, specimens, and small supplies, with units in lb, kg, g, oz, and lb:oz. Power runs from the included AC adapter with a six foot cord or from the internal rechargeable battery for portable benches. Auto Shut-Off stretches the roughly 1,000 weighments of battery life across long stretches between charges. NTEP approval backs the scale for applications that require certified weighing performance.
