Fairly standard tolerances for industrial and academic labs. All of our scales (we don't have balances anymore; they're all electronic) in the analytical lab weighing room are good to 0.1 mg. Unfortunately we don't have the kind of tables that Alan designed, so our students are admonished not to lean on the tables while working. One student leaning on the table screws up all of the scales on that table for a few moments at least.

Yep! the balance used to weigh the samples for the HCN analyzer at the chem lab were about that sensitive as I remember. Had to work on the analyzer several times and the lady (only one alowed to use the place) showed me the way she had to measure the samples etc. Thats some precision. ...lew...
