A&D Instruments : What floorutions for weighing and precision measurement?

A&D Instruments is a Japanese metrology group recognised for its high-precision weighing and measurement solutions. Analytical and precision balances, microbalances, moisture analysers (thermobalances), indicators and weighing platforms equip pharmaceutical, biotech, food & beverage, environmental and R&D laboratories.

A&D instruments combine repeatability, robustness and ergonomic design, with GLP/GMP traceability and RS-232, USB and Ethernet connectivity (depending on the model), all backed by local metrology support.

A leader in lab precision for over 40 years

Founded in Japan in the late 1970s, A&D puts measurement and control at the heart of its DNA. The brand has built its reputation on stable electromagnetic sensors and reliable electronics, in the laboratory and in industrial environments.

In Europe, A&D relies on local teams, dedicated stockholding and expert after-sales service delivering technical advice, maintenance and calibration. Ongoing investment in R&D enhances stability, speed and the reliability of results, while simplifying operation, for regulated and production environments.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

Laboratory weighing: Fast-response analytical and precision balances (SHS sensor technology), microbalances for microgram-level measurements. Advanced modes (counting, %, density, dynamic weighing) for R&D and quality control.

Moisture determination: Halogen moisture analysers for raw materials and finished products (pharma, cosmetics, food): storable methods, real-time monitoring and reproducible drying end-point criteria.

Industrial and process weighing: Indicators and platforms for checkweighing, counting and dosing, with I/O interfaces, mechanical protection and dependable performance in production environments.

Traceability and connectivity: GLP/GMP compliance with time-stamped reports (ID, date/time). RS-232/USB/Ethernet (model dependent), dedicated printers and WinCT software for data integrity and LIMS integration.
