Myco MY-600-BK mini scale with a 600-gram capacity
The MY-600-BK is the larger model in the Myco MY series from On Balance. While the MY-100 weighs up to 100 grams with 0.01-gram precision, the MY-600 offers a capacity of 600 grams with 0.1-gram accuracy. It features the same oval, compact design, but is aimed at users who want to weigh larger quantities without needing a separate kitchen or tabletop scale.
The green-backlit LCD screen is easy to read even in low light. The removable lid protects the weighing platform when on the go and can be used as a bowl during weighing. With four weighing units (grams, ounces, grains, pennyweights) and a tare function, it is a simple, straightforward scale for everyday use.
Applications
The MY-600-BK is suitable for weighing larger portions of herbs, supplements, cocoa, tea, and other dry materials. The 0.1-gram accuracy is sufficient for standard dosages, but not for applications requiring accuracy to the hundredth of a gram. For example, if you want to weigh reagents for a drug test, the MY-100-BK (0.01 g) is a better choice. The MY-600 is ideal for weighing larger quantities of dry herbs or checking package weights.

MY-100 or MY-600: which one is right for you?
The Myco MY series consists of two models with the same design. The MY-100-BK (100 x 0.01 g) is more accurate and suitable for weighing small quantities where every hundredth of a gram counts. The MY-600-BK (600 x 0.1 g) has six times the capacity and is suitable for weighing larger portions. Both models cost €12.95 and come with batteries and a removable lid. You can find more information about accurate dosing in our knowledge base.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MY-600-BK accurate enough for weighing supplements?
That depends on the supplement. For capsules and powders that you dose in quantities of a few grams, 0.1-gram accuracy is sufficient. For microdoses or highly concentrated extracts, you need at least 0.01 grams. In that case, the MY-100-BK (0.01 g) or a milligram scale is the better choice.
Is a calibration weight included?
No, the MY-600-BK is delivered without a calibration weight. You can calibrate the scale with a separate 500-gram weight. Calibration weights are available separately. Do you have questions about which scale best suits your application? Please contact our customer service.
How compact is the MY-600-BK?
The MY-600-BK measures just 9.2 x 6.0 x 2.0 cm and weighs approximately 65 grams, including batteries. It is one of the smallest 600-gram scales on the market and fits comfortably in a pants pocket or bag.
