I'm looking for a scale that, when calibrated, can consistently measure up to 100g with plus or minus 0.05g error, or better. I can get a set of calibration weights if it's necessary. I have a preference for digital, but hey, if it works, it works.
A lot of the scales I'm looking at on Amazon are either poorly-calibrated, or untrustworthy-level dirt cheap. Most of them are highly-rated (four stars or greater), but most of these also have reviews showing that there are... issues with them that most people might not check for, like calibration drift or nonlinear measurement problems. As a result, I'm kind of skeptical of anything I could get on Amazon.
There are a lot of requests on BIFL for things like kitchen scales, which often go down to the gram, but I'm really looking for something more precise than that.
(It's not for what you might think it's for. I want one for research and hobby chemistry; physics major w/ interests in chem. My current lab has a high-precision (1000x0.0001g) scale, but I might not always have access when I want it.)
