Modern User Interface
Effortless Operation
Using the Quintix® Pro is effortless thanks to a modern usability concept. The startup assistant allows quick and easy setup of the balance, while the built- in interactive manual is ready to assist, whenever you need help. With 15 available language options, the Quintix® Pro is the perfect fit for any lab.
Status Center
The Status Center on Quintix® Pro provides a comprehensive summary of the balance’s most important status information with just a single click.
User Management
The advanced user management system in Quintix® Pro enables you to assign individual roles to each user and customize them according to specific user needs. This feature allows Quintix® Pro to limit menu access strictly to authorized personnel, thereby providing comprehensive control and protection over your weighing procedures.
Correct Levelling
Level Status at a Glance
With Quintix® Pro it is easy to verify if your balance is leveled correctly.
A quick glance at the conveniently positioned level indicator is all you need.
Continuous Real-Time Level Monitoring
The LevelControl function of Quintix® Pro guarantees a perfectly leveled balance. It continuously monitors the level status in real time, instantly detecting any deviations. Should any tilt be detected, it responds immediately to safeguard your data: it will alert you and temporarily block data transfer to a printer or computer. Quintix® Pro will then guide you through the leveling procedure in real time.
With the Quintix® Pro LevelControl, you can rest assured that your measurements are completely accurate.
Motorized Levelling
Leveling is even easier with the motorized feet. The Quintix® Pro levels itself fully automatically at the push of a button.
Monitoring Functions and Security
isoCAL: Reliability Guaranteed
Temperature fluctuations can compromise the precision of your weighing results. Quintix® Pro eliminates this risk from the outset with its temperature and time-controlled calibration and adjustment function, isoCAL. By customizing the time interval for isoCAL, you can ensure compliance with your Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Enhanced Traceability
The Quintix® Pro’s internal Device-Log function records all calibration and leveling procedures, as well as any changes to the balance and weighing settings. This creates a traceable log file with date and time stamps, enhancing your quality assurance processes.
Secure Weighing Data Continuously
Take advantage of the various safety level settings available on Quintix® Pro for secure data transfer. You can tailor Quintix® Pro’s automatic monitoring systems to meet your specific security requirements. Whether you choose a high-, standard-, or low-level monitoring, Quintix® Pro ensures that only accurate data is processed.
Improved Auto Adaption to Environmental Conditions (AFA)
Whether your environment is stable or unstable, Quintix® Pro can be easily adapted to specific environmental conditions with just a single click.
Protection and Cleanability
Tested for Use in Special Environments e.g., Vacuum, Argon, and
Nitrogen
Extended Protection with In-Use-Cover
Enhance the protection of Quintix® Pro by utilizing an in-use cover. This cover envelops the entire housing of the balance, offering additional defense against contamination.
The additional protection covers for the weighing pan and draft shield base plate is particularly useful in areas where hazardous materials are handled.
Easy Cleaning
The contemporary design of Quintix® Pro facilitates easy and straightforward cleaning of the balance. The use of durable materials such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), stainless steel, and glass not only ensures high chemical resistance, but also prevents cross-contamination.
Documentation and Data Transfer:
Easy, Fast and Reliable
Be future ready! Quintix® Pro supports multiple connection to external devices via three USB type C interfaces, RS232 9-pin interface, and an ethernet interface. Transfer weighing data or calibration reports to a USB stick or directly to a database via the ethernet interface.
Data Transfer: Direct and Correct
Effortlessly connect your Quintix® Pro to your computer or lab printer using the balance’s USB Type-C interface port and Plug & Play technology. Its PC- Direct feature allows for the seamless transfer of your measurement results directly to your preferred Microsoft® Office program. This eliminates the need for additional software and prepares your data in your chosen format, ready for calculations in spreadsheets.
Data Documentation: Fast and Easy
When directly connected to a Sartorius laboratory printer, Quintix® Pro generates fast and accurate printouts of your weighing results. You can use standard printer paper or practical, continuous-length paper label rolls, or even fade-resistant paper for reliable records with unique identification of your samples.
Sample Identification: Even More Reliable and Precise with Quintix® Pro
If you’re working with samples that require unique identification in regulated environments, you’ll appreciate the built-in sample identification feature of Quintix® Pro. This function allows you to tailor the printout information to your specific needs. With an interactive touchscreen display and alphanumeric input capability, Quintix® Pro simplifies the process of entering complex sample IDs, batch IDs, or project IDs. Generate reliable and accurate sample records with ease using Quintix® Pro.
