Sartorius has launched a user-friendly, highly accurate standard laboratory balance on the market: Quintix. Its intuitive operating design guides users fast with fail-safe confidence through the many weighing applications built into the balance, helping to enhance laboratory workflows. The new Sartorius lab balance is available in a choice of 12 models with weighing capacities, ranging from 220g to 5,100g, and readabilities extending from 0.1mg to 1g.
The user interface of the balance was developed in teamwork with experienced lab users. All applications are shown as self-explanatory icons on the balance's touch screen and can be precisely selected, even when the user is wearing lab gloves. The balance guides the user step-by-step through each weighing process, thus preventing operating errors. The balance features built-in applications that include weighing in percent, weighing under unstable conditions and weighing components; counting, mixing, checkweighing; peak hold to determine the highest measurement in a series; density determination; statistics and conversion.
The balance also features the isoCAL combined calibration and adjustment function, which alerts the user whenever a defined time or temperature limit has been exceeded and adjusts the balance automatically using an internal weight. Moreover, the Cal Audit Trail function documents every calibration and adjustment operation for 100 percent traceability in quality assurance.
Because all advanced laboratories today must provide GLP- and/or GMP-compliant documents, the balance transfers its data directly over its built-in USB port to any computer in the lab, without requiring any additional software. Weighing data can be easily read into Excel or into any other program for further processing.
