The Sartorius Corporation Quintix612-1S Balance is a toploading balance with a capacity of 610g, a readability of 10mg (0.01g), a 180mm diameter weighing pan, a color touchscreen, and 11 built-in applications for advanced lab weighing tasks. The touchscreen features icons and text prompts for intuitive operation. This balance has a mini-USB port for connecting a computer or lab printer (sold separately) for data transfer and output. The port allows direct data transfer to Microsoft applications, and automatically detects the connection of a Sartorius YDP30 or YDP40 printer. Direct data transfer requires a computer with a Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, or 2000 operating system. To help ensure accuracy, the balance features a fully automatic internal temperature- and time-controlled calibration function (isoCAL), and records data for each calibration. The balance can also be calibrated using external weights. A security ring and a fastening point for a Kensington key lock (sold separately) can be used to deter theft. A weighing port allows underfloor weighing of oversize containers. Leveling is performed by manually adjusting the feet until the air bubble is properly centered in the level indicator. The balance comes with a universal power supply and 120V line cord. A precision toploading balance is used in laboratories and other indoor settings for determining the mass of a liquid, paste, powder, or solid sample.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Balances and scales are measuring instruments used to determine the mass and weight, respectively, of an object. Unlike a balance, a scale's accuracy is affected by gravity and must be recalibrated if it is relocated. In practice, the terms balance and scale are frequently used interchangeably, and the results are displayed in a variety of units, such as gram (g), ounce (oz), pound (lb), troy ounce (ozt), pennyweight (dwt), carat (ct), momme (mom), grain (GN), and tael (tl). The empty weight of a container used to hold objects (tare weight) on the balance or scale is removed prior to weighing, so that the scale reads zero with the container in place. The precision of both balances and scales is determined by the requirements of their intended use, and can be 0.0001g or better for analytical balances. Precision is verified and maintained with periodic calibration. For commercial use, scales and balances may be certified by organizations such as NSF International and National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP). Balances and scales may include data interfaces that allow connection to a computer, printer, or remote display. Balances and scales are made suitable for the environment in which they are used with protective housings, sealed keypads, and lighted displays. They may have built-in functions for tasks such as pill counting in pharmaceutical applications, postage calculations in shipping applications, or weight-totaling in warehouse applications. Balances and scales are used in a wide variety of applications and accommodate a wide range of weights.

Sartorius manufactures laboratory and process technologies and equipment for biopharmaceutical, biotech, and food industries. The company, founded in 1870, is headquartered in Gottingen, Germany.
