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.

: they are the first
laboratory balances that you
can integrate into your individual
workflows, as well as adapt to
your weighing containers and the
conditions at your workplace by
using accessories and mechanical
extensions.

Since we launched the Cubis
®
range of premium laboratory
balances in 2009, it has become
the benchmark for use in
regulated sectors that impose
the highest requirements, such as
in global pharmaceutical labs.
Modular Configuration
The first series of laboratory
balances to feature a completely
modular design, Cubis
®
enables
you to combine your choice of
display and control unit, weighing
module, data interface module,
and much more.
You can choose from thousands of
options to configure your balance
to suit your individual needs and
obtain the optimal solution for
integration into your process.

Cubis
individual Software
With the unique Cubis
®
individual
software, you can create your own
fully individual profile for your
specific requirements without
additionally needing to use a
computer. Start off by integrating
data into your software infrastructure and continue right on up
to implementing complete control
of your weighing process.
Your benefits: quick, clearlydefined processes and accuracy.
New Models
With the new high-capacity
models, Cubis
®
now covers the
entire range, from research and QC
laboratories to testing laboratories.

Cubis
offers a comprehensive
range of accessories to choose from
so you will find individual solutions
that are best for your applications
(see p. 20).

In addition to aspects strictly
involving metrological specifications, preparing for and performing a weighing procedure,
compliance with the relevant
regulatory standards is gaining
ever-increasing importance.

A Multitude of Standardized Q-Apps
Ready for You
If you have a weighing task not covered
by one of the standardized Q-Apps
downloadable from the App Center, contact
your responsible Cubis
®
individual specialist.
Just for you, our specialist will create an
individual Q-App configured to meet your
specific application requirements.

The Sartorius App Center: Download and
Test Your Preferred Apps
You can readily download any standard
Q-Apps from the Sartorius App Center and
install these from an SD card in a Cubis
®
laboratory balance. Just test the Q-Apps of
your choice for 30 days free of charge to
discover all their winning capabilities for
increasing efficiency in your daily lab work.
Easy Licensing for Permanent Use of
Q-Apps
To permanently use your Q-App on your
®
balance, you must first activate the
Cubis
Q-App. Just enter the serial number of your
®
balance as well as your personal data.

In just a few minutes, you will receive your
individual Q-App activation code.
No Computers Needed!
In pharmaceutical labs, placing computers
next to a balance is not necessarily desirable
because this does not meet the strict
cleanroom requirements that Sartorius lab
balances comply with so effectively.
You can use the new Q-Apps to completely
transfer your operating procedure (SOP) to
the balance and avoid using a computer.

customer-specific applica tions,
called Q-Apps. These are downloadable application programs
that guide you step by step
through a specific workflow
sequence.
Q-Apps ensure that the procedures described in the corresponding SOPs are observed at
all times. This makes Q-Apps
an attractive alternative to implementing external middleware.
Q-Apps:
Standard or Personalized
Besides individual Q-Apps that
are performed according to your
specific application, a variety of
solutions for differential weighing,
formulation and average weight
control, or checking the net
quantities filled are available as
standard Q-Apps.
Standard Q-Apps additionally
provide solutions for defining the
starting point of your balance‘s
operating range as well as for easy
pipette calibration. With Q-Apps,
you can carry out a specific
workflow without needing to
connect a computer.
Across the globe, pharmaceutical
lab processes look similar at first
glance. Yet their requirements
are highly individual, especially for
weighing processes. Everybody
has their own approach for preparing samples, selecting vessels
and placing samples in a weighing
container.
Your Application
Therefore, a lab balance must
simply adapt to your entire
process – not the other way
around.
With its practical array of optional
accessories, Cubis
potential for fully personalized
application add-ons that enable
faster and more efficient work
and enhance your process
reliability.
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.
®
offers the
Q-Grid Pan
This gridded weighing pan, Q-Grid (accessory option
YWP03MS), is available for all Cubis
readability of 10 mg and 100 mg, except for model 5202S
and high-capacity precision models. Q-Grid lets you easily
operate a balance with a large pan under laminar flow in
safety powder hoods, workbenches or even in fume hoods,
without restricting its performance. This saves considerable
effort in busy pharmaceutical laboratories.

models with a
11
Q-Grip Holder
Q-Grip is a flexible and adaptable “one-size-fits-all” holder for
bottles, test tubes, reaction containers and filters of up to 120
mm or nearly 5“. Available as accessory option YFH01MS, it fits
on all Cubis
®
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.
