AP Series
Advanced Performance UniBloc Balances
Faster Response and Higher Stability
High Speed - Fast weighing response
Fastest Response in Its Class* with UniBloc AP Technology
Shimadzu analytical balances boast a one-piece UniBloc weighing sensor, which is now even more advanced. The improved UniBloc sensor offers up from 7 seconds (previous model) to 1.5 seconds faster response.
*Compared to previous Shimadzu models
Stress Free - Reliable weighing results
Built-in High-Performance Ionizer (Optional)
A new ionizer is able to remove static electricity in about 1/10 the time of previous ionizers
This unit allows acquisition of reliable weighing results by eliminating static electricity that can affect measurements without scattering powder.
Efficiency - driven Conveniences - Various productivity-boosting weighing applications
USB Offers Greater Expandability (USB host : APW only) NEW
Equipped standard with an RS232C connector, a USB device and a USB host. You can now simultaneously send output to both a computer and printer or connect a USB flash drive, a barcode reader, or an external numeric keypad.
Easy-to-Read Organic EL Display NEW
Because the pixel elements in the organic electroluminescence display emit light, the screen can be seen clearly even in dark locations. Multi-language display capability* provides a more intuitive operating interface. A wider viewing angle has also improved the visibility of measurement values, which helps increase the efficiency of measuring operations.
Exceptional Visibility
The visibility remains the same even when viewed from different angles. The viewing angle is a wide expanse of ±85 degrees, both vertically and horizontally. That means the display is clearly visible even when working beside the balance. A high-resolution dot-matrix display makes it easy to read even detailed text.

Display capture function
Weighing display can be recorded into USB memory in BMP format. User name, date/time, setting can be done with display information.
Numeric keypad
Connecting a common external numeric keypad makes it easier to enter numeric values. This is especially useful for entering the mass value of weights, setting upper/lower limit values for the comparator function, or entering the sample count during piece counting mode.
Barcode reader
A barcode reader can be connected. Simply reading a barcode makes it possible to input user ID/Password. It is possible to manage sample IDs using barcodes.
Periodic Inspection Support Function (APW/APX only) NEW
AP series supports periodic inspections. The function allows inspection of repeatability, corner load error, and linearity by simply following instructions displayed on the screen.
For Users of HPLC Systems (APW only)
Buffer Solution Preparation Mode (APW only) NEW
・Recipes for 13 commonly used buffer solutions are included as standard
Preparation recipes for commonly used buffer solutions are provided as standard.
e.g. disodium phosphate, sodium acid citrate
・Instructions are shown on the display
The target weighing value is shown on the display and analog bar in order to compare the target with the current weight. Manual calculation is not needed.
・Record function
Record output with date, time and operator name.

Functions Recommended for the Pharmaceutical Industry
High-Security User Management NEW
Operations can be kept secure with user ID and password protection. Access rights can be specified separately for each user to prohibit unauthorized actions such as performing calibration or changing the settings. User IDs can also be used for barcode management.
Minimum Sample Quantity (Warning Function) NEW
Reproducibility can be confirmed by repeatedly measuring weights as instructed by AP series. The minimum sample quantity is automatically determined from the standard deviation and recorded in AP series. If the minimum sample quantity requirement is not satisfied during measurement, an indicator flashes to warn the user.
Printing Data in Accordance with Various Regulations NEW
Functionality for customizing the content of printed information supports compliance with various ISO, GLP, GMP, and other requirements.
Recipe Function (AP-W only) NEW
Sample recipes can be registered, allowing users to simply follow instructions on display.
