#124596 - get the most expensive amplifier you can get
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I worked for a major scale manufacturer and for those 600.000 economy scales we used a chopper stabilized op-amp, nothing less (cheaper) would do.

There may be op-amps without chopper stabilization that does well enough today (technology does advance) but you need (virtual) zero drift and offset.

If you try to 'get by' with a cheap amp you will never get it to work reliably.

Of course, if the app is "is this more than somewhere between 4 and 10 kg" you can get by with less.

PS do not fall in the trap of confusing resolution with precision
