I have a 500 mg amount and need to separate 5-19 mg, will this scale do this for me?

Yes it will, but be advised that the margin of error on it is 1mg. This is a 20% dosing error at 5mg and should not be used for extremely potent substances. For those substances, you should use PEG500 and create a solution for safer, more accurate dosing.

scale will measure accurately to less than 1/10 mg. as scale is sensitive do not use in drafty areas.

Hi Beth, it all depends on how much you are taking a day. Recommendation that doctor gave me is based on teaspoon. Therefore, the total I can get from this is 48 teaspoons. For your reference, 8oz = 236ml = 48 teaspoons. So now you can do the math based on your recommendation.Hope that helps you. Regards, Flavio

Yes, this scale will read 3.7x grams with a small weight. I continue to be amazed at the accuracy of this balance; I taught chemistry for 40 years and bought this balance to weigh things for demonstrations in local schools. I have a set of calibrated weights and the balance is accurate from tenths of grams to over 100 grams. I highly recommend it.

Yes it will. You can set the units of measurement by ounces, mL, pounds, fluid ounces or grams with one touch of a button.

There is a mark for each Mil example: .5ml, 1ml, 2ml and 3ml are clearly shown. No guessing if you need only need a mil or 2

Depends on volume. It does milligrams, but the weighing surface is only about the size of a half dollar, so large volume light weight stuff can be difficult.

I just got mine today and also a 500g calibration weight. My understanding from other blogs if your scale is a max 1000g then you need 1000g weight to calibrate it. What I did was use my 500g weight as a reference then got a 16.9 fl oz water bottle, opened it up and sucked out the water with a syringe until the number was the exact same as my calibration weight. Then used both the weight and water to re calibrate. Works just fine now.

0.1 gram equals 100 mg. So you can get the amount in grams and convert to mg yourself. So if something weighs 5g that is equal to 5000mg. And 0.5g is 500mg and so on.

yes of course you would need a scale to make sure the right amount of ref is going into the system unless you know the PSI to temp calculations

It would entirely depend on the powder used. Since various powders have different weights, finer/coarse grinds, etc, the final weight in mgs would vary greatly.

When the scale is in the ounces only mode, yes. When it's in the pounds plus ounces mode, I get one place holder for ounces. So I agree with O.M.Holmberg who commented on 17 Feb 2013.This scale is very useful & attractive enough to leave out on the sideboard. I use it for weighing out portions of food I plan to eat.

Hello, The scale reads in .1 gram increments, so it will read .1, .2, .3 etc and 21.1, 21.2 etc. Have a great day!

I purchased a 100g calibration weight which I use once every month to ensure that the unit is measuring accurately. Since this is not a high end scale, I would recommend doing it.

Sure. You don't need to mess with the nutritional functions if you just want to simply weigh something. The scale also provides a 'toggle' to choose between ounces/pounds and grams.

You have to check the instructions that came with your type of scale. You may also call their service dept and they might help you. Check on line if you do not have the instructions. Good luck.

yes it does. However, remember that ml is a volume, mg is a weight. One ml is the volume of one mg water. or, more clearly stated, if a bottle is a 500 ml bottle, it will weigh 500 mg if water fills it. If something lighter than water, such as oil, fills it, it will weigh less and the reading of mls will be less, even though the volume is still 500 mls.

I don't see what your talking about but if it's the scales I got here the answer is Yes . It will do that in Oz are grams . . I like the scales I got from amazon they work well . No problem. .
