anybody out there have some brand names and models of some really accurate scales?? (triple beam, digital, or whatever) ideally it should be accurate down to the milligram...all the ones i've seen so far are only accurate down to 100mg (0.1g)...prices would be nice too to give me a scope of what i'm investing in...
 
dude you are looking at spending a lot of money if you want to get a *quality* 1mg scale...
I know Acculab makes a bunch of compact scales that are accurate to 1mg for like $175-$275, the triple beams being more expensive than the digital, but I've never used them and they look like pieces of crap.
I've heard that Ohaus scales are good, but they may be a little pricier, I don't know.
The one I use was "borrowed" from a university lab a few years back and it doesn't even have a name on it anywhere I can tell, but it has served me well.
Oh yeah...someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the microgram scales are like thousands of dollars.

i'm not too sure about compact scales, but i swear by my Boreal digi. after countless hours in the lab, i couldn't part with it, so a friend of mine ended up giving me one.
