Choosing a lab balance or scale starts with a practical tension: do you need broad capacity, fine readability, or something that fits what you already own? The four listings here range from a manual wheel balancer to an 8200 g portable balance to two 220 g analytical units. One is not a lab scale at all, so the first step is deciding which type matches your task.
Quick Take
If you need analytical precision down to 0.0001 g for lab samples, the Uimoso and Citizen models are the relevant options. If you need a large-capacity portable balance and can supply the missing weighing pan, the Ohaus Scout is an open-box route worth considering. The Micro Precision wheel balancer belongs in a different conversation: it is designed for passenger-vehicle wheels, not laboratory weighing.

Product Notes
Micro Precision Bubble Wheel Balancer M60
This listing is the outlier in the group: it is a manual wheel balancer for passenger vehicles, not a scale for lab samples. It relies on a bubble level and manual setup, and the single-item package is identified by the M-60 part number. If your project is wheel balancing, this gives you a dedicated tool for its listed price. If your task is weighing powders or lab materials, this won't serve that purpose because it has no electronic readout and is designed for tire and wheel work. Reserve it for the garage, not the bench.
NEW OPEN BOX Ohaus Scout SPX8200 Portable Precision Balance 8200g x 1g No Pan
This Ohaus model is in new open-box condition, with original packaging not included. The catch is in the title: there is no weighing pan and no top pan support, so you need to supply those parts before it can be used as a scale. With an 8200 g capacity and 1 g readability, it suits general-purpose weighing in laboratory, industrial, educational, or quality-control work where fine precision is not required. It powers on, making it a candidate if you already own these components or want a base unit to restore.
Uimoso Analytical Lab Scale 220g Capacity 0.0001g Precision, 4 Measurement Units
This new unit is built around a 220 g capacity with 0.0001 g resolution and a switchable readout in grams, ounces, carats, and milligrams. A protective glass draft shield and leveling bubble are both included, and a 200 g calibration weight comes with the package. That combination makes it convenient for laboratory or educational use, since the calibration weight reaches into the upper part of the 220 g range. The trade-off is that high readability comes with a much lower capacity than the Ohaus, so you cannot weigh large samples or containers on it.
Citizen CX 220 Analytical Balance 220g x 0.1mg Precision Laboratory Scale
The Citizen CX 220 is a used analytical balance with a 220 g maximum and 0.1 mg readability, which is equivalent to 0.0001 g. It powers on, zeros to 0.0000 g, and responds to weight, and the package includes a glass draft shield and power adapter. Cosmetic wear from previous use is expected, so inspect the photos for marks or discoloration before you commit. For lab work that demands analytical precision, it offers the same readability as the Uimoso but at a higher listed price, with the trade-off of used condition.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- For analytical lab precision with the highest listed price: Citizen CX 220 at USD 699.99. It delivers 0.0001 g readability, a glass draft enclosure, and a power adapter, but it is a used unit.
- For analytical readability in a new unit: Uimoso Analytical Lab Scale at USD 254.14. It includes a calibration weight and four measurement units.
- For large-capacity portable weighing: Ohaus Scout SPX8200 at USD 68.40, if you already own the missing pan and pan support.
- For passenger-vehicle wheel balancing: Micro Precision Bubble Wheel Balancer M60 at USD 150.00, a manual single-item wheel balancer in used condition.
