Compliance-ready weighing without middleware

Sartorius has launched Cubis® III, a new generation of premium laboratory balances designed to deliver compliant, connected weighing directly into existing lab systems - without the need for additional middleware or supporting software.

The system enables weighing data to be transferred securely and directly into LIMS, ELN and CDS environments, helping laboratories reduce integration complexity while maintaining full data integrity and traceability.

Cubis® III features built-in audit trails, electronic signatures, user access controls and guided weighing workflows to support regulatory compliance, including 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Embedded compliance tools ensure consistent processes across users and sites, while reducing reliance on external validation layers.

Direct, standards-based connectivity is enabled via an integrated OPC UA server and support for enterprise protocols such as HTTPS, FTPS and SMB, allowing direct integration into existing digital infrastructures. LDAP integration and role-based access control bring IT-grade user management to balance fleets.

By embedding compliance and connectivity at the instrument level, Cubis® III simplifies validation, maintenance and fleet management, helping laboratories reduce IT burden and long-term operational costs while scaling more easily across sites.

The platform is available in two configurations, Cubis® III and Cubis® III Max, allowing laboratories to select the level of workflow sophistication required while retaining flexibility for future expansion.

“With Cubis® III, compliance and connectivity are handled directly on the instrument,” said Eszter Paldy, Manager of Product Management Premium Weighing Solutions at Sartorius. “That allows labs to connect weighing data into their systems in the way that best fits their environment, without relying on additional software layers.”

Cubis® III is designed for laboratories facing increasing demands around compliance, data governance and operational efficiency, offering a scalable foundation for connected, future-ready weighing workflows.
