The Cubis premium balance from Sartorius features a modular design and can be custom-configured and adapted to the changing requirements of different applications.
From simple weighing to management of complex sequences using the user/password management feature, Sartorius says Cubis meets advanced weighing requirements.
With finely graduated weighing capacities of up to 12kg and readabilities from 0.01mg to 0.1g, Cubis is suited to nearly any laboratory weighing application.
All balances of this series incorporate second-generation Sartorius proprietary monolithic weigh cells.
Based on these compact cells, the semi-microbalance offers space savings, top-loading and full-resolution with a readability of 0.01mg all the way up to a capacity of 220mg.
This semi-microbalance can be optionally equipped with a motorised draft shield.
A choice of three different display and control units covers a wide variety of laboratory applications.
The high-resolution touch-screen with a TFT graphic display on the MSA unit ensures bright, high-contrast readouts and easy control of individual steps in a weighing procedure.
This makes it ideally suited to meet sophisticated requirements, such as those of the pharmaceutical industry.
The MSU display and control unit has been designed for users who need to perform a range of simple to complex procedures involving weighing and seek an alternative to touch-screen operation.
The MSU features a generously sized, high-resolution black-and-white graphic display and keys with positive click action for precise results.
The MSE display and control unit features a high-contrast liquid-crystal display, easy-to-understand menu guidance with short text prompts and clearly arranged keys for precise activation of functions.
It is the right choice for users who perform weighing processes with a low level of complexity and those who primarily need to weigh only.
Thanks to the Q-Guide user interface, one balance can be used by several people who have similar or even different tasks to perform.
The straightforward user guidance menu of the MSA and MSU display and control units enables weighing tasks to be set up quickly.
This makes even highly complex procedures, such as the combination of several applications, easy to perform and also minimises errors.
Compensation technology is a highlight of the Cubis range, according to Sartorius.
When the balance is tilted, it shows an alert message on its display.
Interactive prompts displayed greatly simplify levelling - without the user having to constantly keep an eye on the level indicator.
When the user selects the motorised Q-Level function, which is optionally available in the MSA and MSU models with readabilities less than or equal to 1mg, the balance even levels itself automatically at the touch of a key.
This improves weighing reliability further by preventing erroneous measurement data and reducing external interfering effects.
The Cubis draft shields ensure user-friendly operation, unobstructed viewing of the weighing pan and high protection from drafts.
Thanks to the materials used in the manual DU draft shield for analytical balances, the doors feature a smooth-action design, and glide open quietly.
The automated DA draft shield enables users to perform weighing tasks rapidly and, based on the draft shield's intelligent learning function, readily saves the user's individually required aperture positions of the motorised doors at the touch of a key.
Moreover, the motorised DI draft shield features an integrated ioniser, which eliminates static electricity inside the draft shield chamber, thus increasing the weighing accuracy.
Cubis provides a suite of structured data communication options thanks to its integrated communications package, known as Q-Com.
By providing three standard data interface ports, such as ethernet (not on the MSE display and control unit), a USB port for a computer and an RS-232C for Sartorius accessory equipment, Cubis can be quickly and conveniently connected to PCs and networks.
A fourth port can be optionally selected.
An SD card is available for transferring weighing data and user or task profiles from one Cubis to another, without having to connect the balances directly to a computer.
The modular design of every Cubis laboratory balance means that technological innovations can be implemented rapidly in the future.
Therefore, Cubis can be retrofittedm to keep pace with the latest developments in technology.
