Cubis®:
The Lab Balance
That Adapts to Your Process
2Introduction
Cubis® Premium Laboratory Balances
Universal balances often only
offer limited options to adapt
them to special workflows in
laboratories. Therefore, standard
operating procedures (SOPs)
must frequently be adapted to
the existing functionalities of
laboratory balances.

Touch-free Draft Shield Operation
The motorized draft shield can be opened
and closed without being touched – just
a simple movement of your hand over the
infrared sensor YHS01MS is all it takes.
This provides additional safety, especially for
applications involving toxic substances.
In addition, the IR sensor can also be used to
trigger other functions, such as printing,
isoCAL or ionizer, etc.

®
semi-micro balances and analytical balances. Simply
use it in place of the original weighing pan. Its individually
adjustable angle ensures that you can maintain an ergonomic
posture during filling and pipetting to transfer samples into
various containers.
Q-Stat Ionizer
At the touch of a key, the Q-Stat ionizer
integrated into the DI draft shield (see p. 16), eliminates electrostatic charges within seconds from
sample containers and substances, preventing any
interference with your weight measurements.
The effec
tive principle of four ion jets ensures that
no disruptive air currents are generated during
charge neutralization. This ensures that you will
obtain stable and correct weighing results –
independently of the ambient conditions.
12Leveling
Q-Level: Automatic, Motorized Leveling Now a Standard Feature*
Exact leveling of a lab balance
is a key procedure in inspection
equipment monitoring and is
essential for reliable readings.
This is where the standardequipped Q-Level automatic
motorized leveling provides valuable support. This feature enables
you to define which tasks the
balance will carry out for you and
which you prefer to perform on
your own.
®
Cubis
is the first lab balance that
automatically checks, performs
and documents its exact leveling.
Leveling is started at the touch
of a key or performed fully
automatic when the isoCAL
function is activated.
Monitoring Leveling
If the Cubis
function detects that the balance is no
longer level, an alert message will appear,
prompting you to start the leveling process.
Once started, internal motors level the
balance in just seconds. You can track the
progress of motorized leveling on the
display. Almost instantly, the balance is
ready again to provide reliable results.
®
continuous self-monitoring
* Leveling is done manually with interactive operator
guidance on the display for balances that do not feature
motorized leveling (models with a weighing capacity
> 6,200 g
or
with a readability < 0.001 mg).

14Communication
Q-Com is a comprehensive
communication concept that
supports the requirement for
integrating laboratory balances
directly into the processes and IT
structures of laboratories.
The concept includes advanced
data interfaces that enable
communication with laboratory
information management systems
(LIMS) and other external
software and communication
protocols.
Q-Com for Unlimited

MSA features a Web Services commu nication
Cubis
platform as an option. This standardized communication
technology permits external software systems, such as
LIMS, ELN, etc. to display and use information, input fields,
menus or complex operations on the touch screen of the
balance. Bidirectional data transfer is enabled without
complicated driver software. This eliminates the need to
install computers, laptops or terminals in the direct vicinity
of your balance.
SD Card as a Storage Medium
You can use an SD card to download all data, such as user
master data or tasks, easily and securely from one Cubis

advantages over conventional
lab balances.
Thanks to the clever use of new
materials, Cubis
feature high mechanical stability,
yet their doors glide open
effortlessly and silently. They
provide outstanding visibility
inside the entire weighing
chamber and protect it against
external influences that can
interfere with weighing accuracy.
Unlike conventional lab balances
on which an electrostatically
charged draft shield can cause
measurement errors, Cubis
eliminates these potential sources
for error by a conductive coating
on the glass panels of the
draft shield.

18Micro Balances
The Utmost Precision
for the Smallest Sample Quantities
The high accuracy requirements in
analytical testing and quantitative
analyses in the pharmaceutical
industry make the use of highresolution balances indispensable.
FDA compliance is only possible
with laboratory balances that
meet the minimum accuracy
requirements of the US Pharmacopeia. Therefore, micro balances
or even ultra-micro balances are
needed to weigh samples less
than 10 mg.
In addition, the substances to be
analyzed are often only available
in very small quantities and can
also be expensive. In other cases,
they may be so potent that users
can only work with minimum
quantities for their own protection.
Our Cubis® ultra-micro- and micro
balances offer you the highest
levels of safety, reliability of
weighing results and conformity
with the required standards.
In particular, the motorized
all-glass draft shield helps accelerate workflows for fatigue-free
weighing of minimum sample
quantities. Moreover, the intelligent learning capability allows
adaptation of the balance to
any workflow.
Efficient Cleaning
Easy and fast cleaning is especially
important when working with minute
sample sizes, as it helps prevent crosscontamination. All parts of the draft
shield can be removed fast and easily.
After cleaning, the balance is ready to be
used again just as quickly.
19
Filter Weighing
The special DF stainless steel filter draft
shield is optimally designed to minimize
the interfering effects of static electricity.
A choice of weighing pan diameters is
available to accommodate different filter
sizes (50 mm is standard | 75 mm and 90 mm
are optional).
High-performance Weighing Made Easy
If you do not have any complex application
requirements, but still require weighing
results with uncompromising reliability, the
MSE display unit in conjunction with the
weighing modules of the micro balances and
ultra-micro balances offers a perfect and
cost-effective solution.
On extra-size Cubis® weighing pans of
400 + 300 mm (nearly 16” + 12”), even large
vessels will have enough space for safe and
secure positioning. The sleek high-quality pan
surfaces and easily removable control units
permit quick and thorough cleaning.
With a removable display for remote
or raised use on a support arm (accessory
option YDH02MS), you can set up your
balance the way you need it to minimize
stress and strain, even when working
with heavy loads.

22Safe Weighing
Safety Powder Hoods
Two major requirements are
paramount when toxic, powdery
samples are weighed: Safety
comes first, closely followed by
the accuracy of initial weights as
the second priority.
The Sartorius safety weighing
station, consisting of a safety
powder hood (SPH) and a Cubis
lab balance, is the professional
solution to both of these requirements.
The safety powder hood creates a
contained area around the lab balance which prevents all air and
finely powdered particulates from
entering into the user‘s respiratory
system. At the same time, due to
the constant rate of pure air
drawn inside the hood and
the low-turbulence flow within
the hood, consistent and reproducible weighing results are guaranteed.
®
The balance and weighing hood
are a perfectly matched system.
They provide perfect operator
protection, while delivering absolutely correct weighing results.
Systematic Safety
The Cubis
– The mechanical level indicator
of a balance is often difficult
or even impossible to see inside
a hood. This leads to parallax
errors during leveling and
ultimately to incorrect weight
measurement results. With
Q-Level, an optional feature
on balances with a weighing
capacity of < 6.2 kg and a
readability of > 0.001 mg,
motorized leveling can be
performed automatically inside
the hood.
– With the optional infrared
sensor YHS01MS, the draft
shield can be opened hands-free
and the balance can be tared.
This reduces the risk of
contamination.
®
Safety Concept - Application-oriented and Flexible
– The
Bluetooth
eliminates the need for cables
that can become contaminated
so that the YDP10BT-0CE printer
can be operated wirelessly
outside the hood.
– The Q-Stat ionizer integrated
into DI draft shield (see p. 11),
not only reduces the interfering
effects of static electricity.
This highly effective device also
prevents samples from adhering
to a spatula, which can lead to
frustration and contamination
when a user tries to shake off a
sample and ends up spilling it.
®

– With the sample holder
YFH01MS, the best ergonomics

of 10 mg or 100 mg) can be
operated in the air flow of the
hood without any problems.
