The robust bestseller for schools, laboratories and training

The KERN EMB 500-1 is the ideal entry-level balance, offering outstanding user-friendliness and reliability. Thanks to its intuitive 2-button operation, operating errors are virtually impossible – perfect for use in school lessons, vocational training or for quick routine weighings in the laboratory.

Compact design and full portability

With its space-saving, flat design, the EMB 500-1 fits on any workbench and can be easily stowed away when not in use. The balance is ready for immediate use: as it is battery-operated as standard (batteries included), you are not dependent on mains sockets. Its low weight makes it the ideal companion for mobile use or when moving between different classrooms.

Features for science lessons

Despite its affordable price, the EMB 500-1 offers professional features. The tare function simplifies recipe preparation. A particular highlight is the standard under-table weighing fixture on the underside of the balance – ideal for determining the density of solids in physics or chemistry lessons.
