Cubis MSA User Manual 73

Minimum Sample Quantity SQmin

Purpose: This application is used to compare the measured weight value directly with the

defined minimum sample quantity (SQmin = sample quantity minimum). This

ensures that weighing results are within tolerances defined by your quality assur-

ance system. This fulfils the requirements of United States Pharmacopeia (USP).

According to USP guidelines, the measurement uncertainly can be a max. of 0.1%

related to the initial weight when weighing substances for quantitative analyses.

Requirements: The balance must be set up by a service technician to be able to use the SQmin

function. The technician will determine the permitted minimum sample quantity

and load this to your balance using the guidelines of your QA system. He will

document this setting via a “Weighing module test as per USP” certificate

in which the measurements and min. sample quantity are logged. The SQmin

function ensures that the weighing results correspond to USP guidelines.

Combination options: Mass unit conversion, second tare memory, individual identifiers, (DKD measurement

uncertainty)
