Best scale for liquid measuring?

[PegasisR]

I'm looking for a digital scale that can measure liquids accurately, any idea which one is best? Thanks!

Measuring from grams to ml

Weight and volume are two different things. You can do it, but if you want to be accurate you must factor in the specific gravity of the liquid.

If measuring one mL and wanting to be as accurate as possible, you should use a syringe or a graduated cylinder.

If you are still interested in an accurate scale, I recommend this homebrew scale from Anvil, accurate to a tenth of a gram: https://www.anvilbrewing.com/product-p/anv-scale-small.htm

Ah I didn't take that into account, would it still matter for mixing rodi and alkatronic reagent? Aswell which graduated cylinder would you recommend?

The RODI would be the reference, meaning the SG=1. You’d have to know the SG of the liquid reagent (assuming it is liquid???) to be able to measure it accurately via a scale.

As for graduated cylinders, you want one as close as to the volume you are measuring. So if you want to measure 8mL for example, use a 10mL cylinder, not a 50 or 100.
