Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L: Stainless Steel Durability for Veterinary Use

In the fast-paced and demanding world of veterinary medicine, where precision, durability, and hygiene are non-negotiable, selecting the right weighing equipment is critical to ensuring accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and efficient operations. The Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L, a compact bench scale distributed by Liberty Scales, stands out as a purpose-built solution for veterinary clinics, animal shelters, zoos, and research facilities. 

With its robust stainless steel construction, high capacity, advanced features, and compliance with industry standards, this scale is designed to meet the unique challenges of veterinary weighing applications. 

Drawing on insights from Liberty Scales’ comprehensive offerings of Ohaus products, this article delves into the exceptional capabilities of the Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L and its transformative impact on veterinary practices. 

Uncompromising Durability with Stainless Steel Construction 

Veterinary environments are inherently challenging for equipment. Scales in these settings are exposed to moisture from cleaning, biological fluids, and frequent sanitization with harsh disinfectants. The Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L is engineered to thrive in such conditions, featuring a stainless steel platform and indicator front mount that provide superior resistance to corrosion and wear. This material choice ensures the scale remains hygienic and durable, even with daily cleaning protocols aimed at preventing cross-contamination between animals. 

Whether in a bustling clinic or a mobile veterinary unit, the stainless steel construction guarantees long-term reliability, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Complementing the stainless steel components, the scale’s powder coated steel frame and aluminum load cell enhance its structural integrity. This robust design allows the Ohaus Courier 5000 i C52M100L to handle dynamic loads, such as those from restless or large animals, without compromising accuracy. 

The scale’s ability to maintain stability during weighing sessions is particularly valuable in veterinary settings, where animals may move unpredictably. By combining durability with precision, the i-C52M100L supports veterinarians in delivering consistent, high-quality care. 

High Capacity and Precision for Versatile Veterinary Applications 

The Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L offers a maximum capacity of 100 kg (220 lb) with a readability of 0.01 kg (0.02 lb), making it a versatile tool for a wide range of veterinary tasks. From weighing small companion animals like cats, rabbits, or birds to larger species such as dogs, livestock, or exotic animals, this scale delivers the precision needed for critical applications. Accurate weight measurements are essential for calculating medication dosages, monitoring weight loss or gain, and assessing overall health, particularly in cases of chronic conditions or post-surgical recovery. 

Beyond animal weighing, the scale’s high capacity supports ancillary tasks in veterinary facilities, such as measuring feed, bedding, or bulk supplies for inventory management. Its advanced weighing technology ensures rapid stabilization, providing accurate results in less than one second—a feature that minimizes stress for animals and streamlines workflows for busy veterinary staff. The i-C52M100L’s ability to handle diverse weighing needs with speed and accuracy makes it an indispensable asset in both clinical and research settings. 

Intuitive Design for Enhanced Usability 

Veterinary professionals often work under time constraints, managing multiple patients and administrative tasks simultaneously. The Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L is designed with usability in mind, featuring a large, backlit dot matrix LCD with a white LED backlight and a 256 x 80 pixel resolution. This high-contrast display ensures clear visibility in various lighting conditions, from brightly lit exam rooms to dimly lit kennels.

On-screen prompts and intuitive navigation guide operators through setup and operation, making the scale accessible to both seasoned technicians and new staff members. The scale supports a variety of weighing modes to accommodate the multifaceted needs of veterinary practices. These include:

• Parts Counting: Useful for inventory tasks, such as counting medication doses or supplies.
• Checkweighing: Ensures accurate portioning of feed or verification of medication weights.
• Percent Weighing: Facilitates formulation tasks in research or nutritional planning.
• Dynamic Weighing: Stabilizes readings for moving animals, ensuring accurate measurements despite motion.

With a 50,000-item library and support for 1,000 user profiles, the i C52M100L enables efficient data management. Veterinary practices can store and recall weight records for individual animals, track weight trends over time, or maintain data for research studies. 

This functionality is particularly valuable for long-term patient monitoring, clinical trials, or shelter operations where consistent record-keeping is essential. 

Compliance and Connectivity for Professional Excellence 

In veterinary practices, compliance with regulatory standards is critical, especially for scales used in commercial transactions, such as billing for boarding services, feed sales, or medication dispensing. The Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L meets NTEP/Measurement Canada and OIML/EC type approvals, ensuring it is legal for trade in jurisdictions requiring certified equipment. This certification provides veterinary practices with confidence that their weighing equipment adheres to industry regulations, safeguarding both operational integrity and client trust. 

The scale’s connectivity options further enhance its utility in modern veterinary settings. Standard features include RS232 and a MicroSD card for data storage, while optional accessories offer Ethernet, WiFi/ Bluetooth, second RS232/RS485/USB, analog output, or 2 In/4 Out digital I/O. These connectivity solutions enable seamless integration with veterinary management software, electronic health records, or external devices like printers and barcode scanners. 

The EasyConnect connector simplifies setup, allowing staff to focus on patient care rather than technical configurations. By facilitating data transfer and analysis, the i-C52M100L supports evidence-based decision-making and efficient practice management. 

Flexible Power Options for Diverse Settings 

Veterinary care extends beyond traditional clinics to mobile units, field operations, and research facilities, requiring equipment that can adapt to various environments. The Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L is powered by a universal 100-240 VAC / 50/60 Hz power supply, ensuring compatibility with global electrical standards. An optional rechargeable lithium battery provides cordless operation, making the scale ideal for mobile veterinary services, pop-up clinics, or areas with unreliable power sources. 

This portability ensures uninterrupted performance, whether weighing animals in a remote location or during power outages. The scale’s energy-efficient design aligns with Ohaus’s commitment to sustainability, as highlighted by Liberty Scales’ emphasis on environmentally responsible manufacturing and disposal practices. By minimizing energy consumption and incorporating durable, long lasting materials, the i-C52M100L reduces its environmental footprint while delivering reliable performance over its lifespan. 

Safety and Versatility for Veterinary Education and Research 

The Ohaus Courier 5000 i-C52M100L’s compliance with safety standards, such as those outlined in the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) for educational products, underscores its versatility for veterinary training programs and academic research.

Veterinary schools and research institutions can rely on this scale for precise measurements in laboratory settings, where accuracy is critical for experiments or clinical studies. Its robust construction and advanced features make it a valuable tool for training future veterinarians, ensuring they are equipped with industry-standard equipment.
