Mettler-Toledo is a multinational manufacturer of scales and analytical instruments.

It is the largest provider of weighing instruments for use in laboratory, industrial, and food retailing applications.

The company also provides various analytical instruments, process analytics instruments, and end-of-line inspection systems.

The company operates worldwide, with 35% of net sales derived from both Europe and the Americas, and 30% from Asia and other countries.

Weighing scales (or weigh scales or scales) are devices to measure weight or calculate mass.

Spring balances or spring scales measure weight (force) by balancing the force due to gravity against the force on a spring, whereas a balance or pair of scales using a balance beam compares masses by balancing the weight due to the mass of an object against the weight of a known mass or masses.

Either type can be calibrated to read in units of force such as newtons, or in units of mass such as kilograms, but the balance or pair of scales using a traditional balance beam to compare masses will read correctly for mass even if moved to a place with a different (non-zero) gravitational field strength (but would then not read correctly if calibrated in units of force), while the spring balance would read correctly in force in a different gravitational field strength (but would not read correctly if calibrated in units of mass).

A laboratory (CommE or, AmE; informally, lab) is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific or technological research, experiments, and measurement may be performed.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

A measuring instrument is a device for measuring a physical quantity.

In the physical sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity of obtaining and comparing physical quantities of real-world objects and events.

Established standard objects and events are used as units, and the process of measurement gives a number relating the item under study and the referenced unit of measurement.

Measuring instruments, and formal test methods which define the instrument's use, are the means by which these relations of numbers are obtained.

All measuring instruments are subject to varying degrees of instrument error and measurement uncertainty.
