Secura Analytical and Precision Balances by Sartorius

Cal Audit Trail provides traceable documentation of all calibration and adjustment data

Secura features a Cal Audit Trail function to document the quality of each weigh-in procedure performed. Adjustment procedures including non-conformities recorded by the balance can be viewed on the touch screen, on a PC or printed.

Convenient built-in weighing applications developed for use in pharmaceutical laboratories

Secura balances are designed with built-in applications to make weighing more efficient by eliminating the need to fine-tune settings and reducing the possibility for weighing errors due to incorrect operation.

  • Check weighing: Determines whether packaged units are within a specific tolerance range and efficiently fills sample materials to a specified target weight
  • Components: Save up to 99 components weighed in various individual containers. Each container can be tared before each component is weighed.
  • Conversion: Multiplies or divides weight value by a user-defined factor (can be saved to protected memory)
  • Counting: Counts identical items (such as screws or tablets) easier, faster and more accurately compared to manual counting
  • Density Determination: Determines the density of a solid object based on the buoyancy method (requires optional Specific Gravity Kit, sold separately)
  • Mixing: Automatically tares the balance after each component is weighed. The weight of an individual component or the total weight can be displayed
  • Peak Hold: Retains the peak value for display after weighing when a bulky sample covers the display or when a maximum force is quickly released
  • Percentage: Determines how much samples vary from a reference standard
  • Statistics: Saves weight and calculated values for up to 99 components and statistically analyzes them
  • Unstable Conditions: Secura balances provide accurate readings even under unstable environmental conditions, such as vibration or laminar flow, or when weighing moving laboratory animals
  • Weighing: Weighs various materials from chunks of solids to the finest quantities of pastes, powders, and liquids with incomparable weighing reliability
Intuitive Color touchscreen

The graphical, icon-driven interface feature applications developed for users in pharmaceutical laboratories. The screen functions even when operators are wearing gloves ideal for use in environments working with hazardous materials. Color-coded information and action fields reduce the chances for operating errors.

Data Management

The mini USB interface enables direct data output to Microsoft® Windows programs and data transfer protocols in SBI, xBPI, spreadsheet (table) or text formats. Data output can be automatically synchronized with the display, activated manually when a print command is received or at defined intervals. Output can be blocked when questionable weighing results are detected, such as when the balance is not level or is incorrectly calibrated. A computer connected via the data interface can send control commands to the balance to control its functions.

Designed for easy and thorough cleaning to prevent contamination

Secura lab balances have a streamlines design and rounded edges for easy and thorough cleaning to prevent contamination, protect work area safety and promote compliance with hygiene requirements. The sleek, innovative housing is acetone-cleanable. The practical and sturdy draft shield (on selected models) can be completely disassembled and is made of dishwasher-safe glass parts.
