Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes the Cubis® II balance unique?
The Cubis® II is a fully modular high-end balance, allowing you to choose the weighing module, draft shield, and display unit that perfectly fits your specific laboratory application and compliance requirements.
2. Can I use Sartorius Minisart® filters for HPLC sample prep?
Yes, Minisart® syringe filters are available in various membrane types (like RC or PTFE) that are specifically optimized for the clarification of samples prior to HPLC analysis, protecting your columns from particles.
3. How often should I replace the cartridges in my Arium® water system?
To maintain ultrapure water quality, the system will alert you when TOC levels or conductivity change. Typically, purification cartridges are replaced based on usage volume or every 6-12 months for optimal performance.
4. Are Sartorius pipette tips compatible with other pipette brands?
Sartorius tips are engineered for a perfect fit on Sartorius pipettes to ensure maximum accuracy, but they are also designed as a "universal fit" that is compatible with most other major pipette brands.
