Weighing milligram-level sample and reagent quantities requires both high sensitivity instruments and skilled personnel, but even the most careful scientists experience small spill overs that can lead to measurement inaccuracies. Residues that land on the weighing pan instead of the weighing boat or crucible will skew measurements because although the total amount of sample is not in the receptacle, the total weight is correctly displayed by the balance. Weighing pans with a minimized surface help prevent sample spill over errors, increasing measurement accuracy and improving repeatability.
