Cubis II Analytical Balance
The Sartorius Cubis II analytical balance range reads to 0.1 mg across capacities from 80 g up to 520 g, with polyrange P modules that give 0.2 mg and 0.5 mg at higher loads. One modular premium platform lets you choose the weighing module (524S, 524P, 324S, 324P, 224S, 124S), the display (MCA 7-inch colour touchscreen or MCE touchscreen) and the draft shield (manual, automatic or automatic with ionizer). Fast stabilization, isoCAL internal adjustment and built-in data integrity controls make it ready for demanding research, pharma and quality control weighing.
Overview
The Sartorius Cubis II Analytical Balances are modular premium balances for everyday analytical weighing at 0.1 mg, from preparing standards and samples to formulation, quality control and research. Six weighing modules cover capacities from 80 g to 520 g, so one platform fits many applications.
Weighing modules
524S: 520 g with 0.1 mg readability.
524P (polyrange): 120 g at 0.1 mg, 240 g at 0.2 mg and 520 g at 0.5 mg.
324S: 320 g with 0.1 mg readability.
324P (polyrange): 80 g at 0.1 mg, 160 g at 0.2 mg and 320 g at 0.5 mg.
224S: 220 g with 0.1 mg readability.
124S: 120 g with 0.1 mg readability.
Display and software
The MCA has a 7-inch colour touch display with an intuitive interface, basic weighing applications and optional licensable QApp packages. The MCE has a touchscreen for routine weighing with the factory-installed basic applications and no licensable packages.
Draft shields
Choose a manual glass analytical draft shield with smooth-action doors (U), an automatic, motorized glass draft shield with a learning function (A), or the automatic shield with a built-in ionizer that removes electrostatic charge from samples (I).
Built for fast, traceable results
Typical stabilization time of 1 second and typical measurement time of 3 seconds.
Automatic internal adjustment (isoCAL) and automated motorized levelling.
Technical controls for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, an integrated audit trail and user management on the balance.
Minimum weight, connectivity and fleet management
According to USP chapter 41 the optimum minimum weight is 82 mg, and the typical minimum weight is 82 to 100 mg depending on the module. The balances have an RS232 serial port, a USB-A port for Sartorius printers and USB sticks, and a USB-B port for a virtual COM port and direct PC communication. For MCA models the Ingenix Suite can manage a whole fleet of Cubis II balances across the laboratories of a network.
Exact values depend on the module, so the table on this page shows ranges for the whole line. Tell our team what you weigh and how much, and we will recommend the right module, display and draft shield and share the exact figures from the datasheet.
