Can this scale measure milligams..such as 100mg or 200 mg or 50 mg I need it for my powder vitamins

I should have said tenths of ounces, not just ounces, but still NO to your question!

Yes. It's accurate to 0.05 ounces (about 1.5 grams) so really small amounts. I have used it for mail also!

I have weight items as small as 0.2 grams but I dont know how accurate it is. I have also tested it and found it to be accurate from 1 gram to 50. Good product.

Yes & no. There isn't a measuring spoon but on the label there is a breakdown of the mg strength per 1/8, 1/4, & 1/2 teaspoon. If you magnify the pic you can see it on the label. Only bulk supplement provider I've seen do this.

The mmol/l is the unit of measure used in labs. Is that how your meter is set? Are you from the US? The unit of measure for glucose here in the US is mg/dl. If that is how your meter is set, I don't see why they wouldn't work.

I routinely measure 0.04 grams, works for me but I have no way to compare. The calibration seems right on.

Yes. It measure in kilograms and pounds. Here's the capacity: 2kg/4.4lb and the sensitivity is 1g/0.1oz meaning that's the least amount it will register. There is a button on the scale that allows you to switch between lbs and kgs. It works great. I have had it for more than a year and use it every day. Hope this helps.

Phil, I am no mathematician, but I will tell you what I think. The weight you see on your pill is the amount of active ingredient, not counting the inert material. A pill that says 200 milligrams may just have 200 mgs of the important stuff and the rest is dust:). I still don't get the conversion because I think 200mg should be equal to 2 grams, not 1/3 of a gram. I am confused, but my son who is a mathematician will be visiting me during the holidays, and I will ask him and respond to you again. Sorry I can't be much help. Merle

It measures in either tenths or hundredths of ounces. Sorry I don't know which, but it is a decimal amount, because I use the grams. It seems to be accurate as far as I can tell, but a tiny bit slow on the read-out. If you need speed as well as accuracy, this isn't the one, but give it a second or two and read-out catches up. Good scale for the $$.

If you're using milligrams to measure, you're way to high. This should be weighed in micrograms. 1 mcg is 40 IU's. So take the number of mcg and multiply by 40 and that gives you the IU. I go for 25,000 IU twice per day, so that is 625 micrograms or .625 milligrams. For 50,000 IU, it would be 1.25 milligrams, however I have a condition where I do not absorb fat soluble vitamins effectively, so I take large quantities. I would not take anything over 50k IU tho.

This scale does read grams to two decimal places. I weighed my silver jewelry and got results like: 3.37 and 18.02 grams. I hope that this helps.

It's accurate to the nearest gram as best I can tell. If you are measuring chemicals and doing stoichiometry and it needs to be very precise, I wouldn't recommend a scale like this because it's more intended for quick measurements. For chemistry you'll probably want one of those scales with a hood.

As long as you don't go over 1KG. It measures in Grams, Diamond Weight, Troy Ounces, Ounces, and karats I believe. I would rather have had the grain option but oh well. If you are looking for the scale with the grain option there is the same exact scale http://www.amazon.com/Hornady-Electronic-Scale-1500-Grains/dp/B001KZ7JLW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1399932622&sr=8-2&keywords=powder+scales but this one has the grain option. I use mine on a daily basis and have compared its accuracy to at least 5 other scales both mechanical and electric and it is always dead on. I have both scales and they are my favorite so far. American Weigh Scales has been around a long time and there is evident quality in the piece. So if you are measuring kitchen items such as rice; You put the container on the scale and press tear (this will zero the display and lock its calibration), you can then add your ingredients. Sorry for the lengthy response, but I figured I would give you and others as much info as possible.

I don't see what your talking about but if it's the scales I got here the answer is Yes . It will do that in Oz are grams . . I like the scales I got from amazon they work well . No problem. .

Grams measure weight and liters measure volume - two completely different things. In order to find out the weight of a 2.5ml dose, just weigh it on metric scale.

It can only measure with gram accuracy. so, 12.34 g will show up as 12 g. Up to 20kg it should have tolerance 1g and between 20kg and 50kg tolerance is 2g. The scale which has accuracy 0.01g and can weight up to 50kg will cost more then thousand dollars

Yes, this scale will read 3.7x grams with a small weight. I continue to be amazed at the accuracy of this balance; I taught chemistry for 40 years and bought this balance to weigh things for demonstrations in local schools. I have a set of calibrated weights and the balance is accurate from tenths of grams to over 100 grams. I highly recommend it.
