Precision Weighing Balances for Drug Eluting Stents for Accurate, Reliable Results and Increased Productivity 

Ensuring patient safety is of the utmost importance for a stent producer. Reliable stent weighing processes during development, testing, and production are necessary to ensure your data’s accuracy and reproducibility. Unfortunately, using a laboratory balance with a standard weighing pan can make the weighing process difficult and possibly unsafe.

Therefore, equipping your balances with perfectly designed and well-performing weighing pans, specifically designed for holding stents, has a significant relevance. We at Sartorius offer custom made stent holders for our Cubis^® II laboratory balances, making your stent weighing both convenient and reliable.

Our engineering team can design stent holders to meet your specific requirements for size, shape, raw material, and special features.

Sartorius customized stent holders provide you with:

• Ergonomic design for easy stent handling and weighing

• Faster response time and better repeatability for better balance performance

These features ensure increased reproducibility and patient safety.

Sartorius provides customized stent holders for:

• Small coronary, neuro-vascular and small vascular stents (length up to 38 mm)
  • Fits with Cubis^® II Ultra-micro, Micro (Weighing Modules: MCA 2.7S / 6.6S / 3.6P / 10.6S)
• Vascular stents (length up to 160 mm)
  • Fits with Cubis^® II High Capacity Micro Balances and Cubis^® II Semi-micro Balances (Weighing modules: MCA 36S / 36P / 66S / 66P / 116S / 116P & MCA 225S)

Manage your stent weighing workflows with Back-weighing QApp software – test it with free trial

For stent weighing processes such as surface treatment or drug coating, the back-weighing QApp on the Cubis^® balance will guide you through your weighing workflows in a reliable and straightforward manner. Back-weighing is a useful application for simple, differential weighing with alphanumeric lot tracking. Back-weighing works in the following way: First, you measure the initial weight (with tare). Second, you measure up to three back weights per sample. The application then calculates the difference between the initial and back weights of your samples.

• Faster stabilization time - Cubis^® II enables high throughput by delivering you the speediest stabilization time for each weighing step on the market. 
• High Speed Accuracy - Ultra-fast processing means all factors are quickly and carefully processed, providing you with accurate results in seconds. 
• Fully Compliant - Cubis^® II balances comply with strict regulations, so you can generate fully traceable data, allowing you to work confidently in regulated environments. You can also integrate your validated SOPs into Cubis^®II, guaranteeing your processes comply with approved workflows. 

• Leading Performance - combining superior capacity and readability with excellent stability and precision for stent weighing, Cubis^® II balances offer you best-in-class performance. You can even weigh small amounts of drug substances which means you can monitor the amount of coating on stents with total confidence.
• Customized Holders - Sartorius can customize stent holders to meet your needs, making your weighing both convenient and reliable.
• Integrated Ionizer - easily integrate a Q-Stat ionizer into the DI draft shield to eliminate any interfering electrostatic charges on stents or samples, ensuring that you have stable, precise weighing results, regardless of your weighing environment.

• Multiple Hardware Configurations - with a vast array of capacity and readability options, draft shield types, weighing pans, holders and displays, you’ll easily find the right hardware combination for your stent weighing applications. 
• Flexible Software - Q-App software comes with additional enhanced protocols to support stent weighing and can also be customized to meet your specific requirements and process steps.
• Seamless Connectivity - you can simply integrate Cubis^® II software into your existing software environment or LIMS, thus eliminating the need for creating separate software islands.
