Sartorius Cubis® II Ultra-High Resolution Balance MCA36S-30IN-D QP1: The New Benchmark in Micro Weighing Performance

In the most demanding realms of pharmaceutical research, biopharmaceutical development, and analytical chemistry, the ability to weigh minuscule sample quantities with absolute precision is not merely a convenience—it is a fundamental requirement. When you are working with compounds worth thousands of rupees per milligram, or when your formulation demands accuracy at the microgram level, ordinary balances simply cannot deliver the performance you need. UP Scales, as a trusted authorized reseller of Sartorius, is proud to present the instrument that defines the pinnacle of precision weighing: the Sartorius Cubis® II Ultra-High Resolution Balance MCA36S-30IN-D QP1.

This is not just a balance; it is a masterpiece of German engineering, designed to deliver uncompromised accuracy and speed under real laboratory conditions. As the latest addition to the acclaimed Cubis® II portfolio, the MCA36S-30IN-D QP1 is a High-Capacity Microbalance that combines an extraordinary 32g capacity with an astonishing 1 microgram (0.000001g) readability—a level of precision that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in laboratory weighing.

Why the Cubis® II Ultra-High Resolution Balance is the Definitive Choice for Critical Weighing

The Cubis® II series represents Sartorius's commitment to innovation, offering capabilities that set new industry standards. Here is what makes the MCA36S-30IN-D QP1 truly exceptional:

1. Unprecedented Resolution at High Capacity: With a readability of 1 microgram (0.001mg) and a capacity of 32 grams, this balance occupies a unique space in the market. It allows you to weigh both ultra-small samples (under 1mg) and larger quantities with the same instrument, maintaining exceptional accuracy across the entire weighing range.
2. Lowest Minimum Sample Weight to Minimize Costs: The Cubis® II High-Capacity Microbalance achieves a minimum sample weight well below 5 mg with excellent repeatability. This capability dramatically reduces the amount of expensive or rare material needed for each measurement, translating directly into significant cost savings for research and quality control operations.
3. Industry-Leading Measurement Speed: Despite its extraordinary sensitivity, this balance delivers remarkably fast results. Advanced engineering solutions make it less prone to environmental effects like temperature fluctuations, air pressure changes, and drafts, resulting in faster stabilization times and improved workflow efficiency.
4. Unmatched Adaptability and Investment Security: The Cubis® II platform is designed for future-proof flexibility. Hardware and software features can be upgraded after purchase, allowing you to add capabilities like a motorized draft shield, integrated ionizer, or advanced software applications as your needs evolve. This level of upgradeability is unparalleled in the market.
5. Complete Regulatory Compliance: The MCA36S-30IN-D QP1 is designed for industries governed by strict regulations. With the Pharma QApp Package (QP1) included, it supports full compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11, providing user management, electronic signatures, audit trail, and USP minimum weight capabilities.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

Key Features and Benefits

Lab-Verified Performance Under Real Conditions

High-resolution balances are inherently sensitive to environmental influences. The Cubis® II MCA36S-30IN-D QP1 is engineered to overcome these challenges:

1. Intelligent Compensating Systems: Built-in sensors and algorithms manage temperature, humidity, and air pressure changes automatically.
2. Powerful Integrated Ionizer (Optional): Electrostatic charges are a major source of error when weighing fine powders. The optional ionizer (QAPP1001) guarantees complete electrostatic elimination, ensuring fast stabilization and reliable results.
3. Draft Protection: Optional motorized draft shields protect the sensitive weighing area from air currents.

Minimize Sample Costs with Ultra-Low Minimum Weight

For research involving expensive APIs, rare compounds, or limited quantities, every milligram saved matters. The Cubis® II achieves a minimum sample weight well below 5 mg across its entire weighing range. This capability means:

1. Use less precious material per test
2. Reduce overall research and development costs
3. Extend the life of limited-quantity samples

Ergonomic Sample Handling Without Sample Loss

The MCA36S-30IN-D QP1 is designed for practical use:

1. Spacious Weighing Chamber: Accommodates various containers and sample holders.
2. Increased Weighing Pan Size: Supports easy handling of flasks and vessels.
3. Titanium Sample Holders: A variety of optional holders are available for specialized applications:

• YSH02-3 Adjustable Flask Holder: For round-bottom flasks
• YCP07MC Pipette Calibration Kit: For pipette calibration
• YSH22-3 Vial Holder: For multiple vials
• YSH30-3 Filter Holder: For 150mm filters

Compliant Cleanability for Contamination Control

Cleaning high-resolution balances is often neglected due to complexity, yet contamination can significantly impact accuracy. The Cubis® II addresses this with:

1. Tool-Free Disassembly: All draft shields, weighing pans, and base plates can be easily removed without tools for thorough cleaning.
2. High Chemical Resistance: Components resist the most frequently used laboratory cleaning agents.
3. Integrated Cleaning QApp: The new Cleaning QApp provides:

• Step-by-step guidance for daily and advanced cleaning routines
• Visual and text instructions adapted to your balance configuration
• Traceable documentation of cleaning activities in the audit trail
• Configurable with user management and electronic signatures
