Sartorius Quintix® Pro Lab Balance: Redefining Sustainability

The Sartorius Quintix® Pro Lab Balance combines technical excellence with environmental responsibility, paving the way for greener practices in lab technology. Sartorius balances are designed to meet the highest standards of speed, compliance, and safety while seamlessly integrating into workflows to enhance efficiency and ergonomics. Whether it’s analytical testing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or academic research, Sartorius products deliver accuracy and precision you can trust.

Quintix® Pro Offers Sustainability at Every Stage

The Quintix® Pro is engineered with sustainability in mind, addressing environmental impact at every stage of its lifecycle.

• Materials with Purpose
  The journey begins with sustainable raw materials. Key components, like the aluminum carrier plate, contain 20% recycled content sourced from Europe, reducing reliance on new resources and supporting the circular economy.
• Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
  Sartorius produces the Quintix® Pro at a facility in Göttingen, Germany, powered entirely by renewable energy. With a 91% recycling rate and zero-waste production goals set for 2030, Sartorius demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. Certified by the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, this production facility prioritizes sustainability at every turn.

Sartorius Provides Smarter Packaging and Distribution

Sustainability extends beyond manufacturing. The Quintix® Pro reaches users through environmentally conscious packaging and optimized logistics:

• Packaging materials use up to 80% post-consumer recycled plastic and over 70% recycled cardboard content, with clear recycling codes to ensure proper disposal.
• Distribution channels prioritize sea transport and consolidated shipments, minimizing carbon emissions compared to air freight.

Quintix® Pro is Designed for Longevity and Efficiency

The Quintix® Pro isn’t just an eco-friendly choice—it’s built to last. Key features include:

• Energy Efficiency: Advanced backlighting, low-power electronics, and a deep-standby mode cut energy use significantly.
• Digitized Manuals: Reducing paper use by 30% while making instructions easily accessible via the interface.
• Serviceability: Replaceable parts and local service hubs minimize the need for replacements and reduce the environmental impact of maintenance.

Circular Design: Closing the Loop

Many products overlook their end-of-life stage, but not the Quintix® Pro. This balance is designed for easy disassembly and recycling. By avoiding adhesives and other restrictive materials, it ensures components can be repurposed, aligning with circular economy principles.
