From this point on the spatula is obsolete. METTLER TOLEDO revolutionizes your laboratory: QUANTOS – the quantum leap in the laboratory – replaces the spatula and automates dosing of small quantities of free-flowing substances.

QUANTOS offers maximum safety for handling highly active or haz-ardous substances. QUANTOS doses small sample quantities in a closed system. Thus you and your sample are always safe.

The highly compact dosing instru-ment offers measuring performance of 220g at 0.005mg readout accu-racy; performance that is unique worldwide. This level of accuracy permits the typical minimum weight of 10mg in accordance with USP . You dose small quantities without

exceeding tolerances.

Thanks to a novel METTLER TOLEDO dosing technology lower substances quantities are required to achieve the same result.

Savings

Up to 20 times faster than manual processes: QUANTOS doses 1mg to 250mg in 15 to 60 seconds Speed QUANTOS protects you – hazardous substances remain sealed. Aerosol formation is kept to a minimum.

Safety Scale down for the correct con-centration of your solution lower substance quantities can be used than were necessary before – this means less risk, less waste and higher yield of your valuable sub-stances.

QUANTOS – certainly higher efficiency!

P r o f i t w i t h Q U A N T O S

QUANTOS is your ideal partner for sample preparation for analytical methods, such as HPLC. Use QUANTOS to signifi-cantly increase efficiency in your laboratory relative to con-ventional balances. QUANTOS is an investment that brings a return within a short time. Calculate for yourself; compare QUANTOS with the spatula.

Dispense with double samples? Even the most skillful hands never achieve this level of precision: QUANTOS doses to 0.5mg – with 0.005mg readout accuracy. The intelligent dosing head with built-in radio frequency identification (RFID) immediately saves all data.

Thus even the first sample is within your tolerance limits.

Lower substance quantities?

Thanks to the low minimum weight (10mg according to USP) under certain conditions you can adapt your SOP . A lower minimum weight permits the preparation of less quantity of solution at the same concentration.

Automatic dosing of small sample quantities in a closed system reduces negative environmen-tal influences.

QUANTOS reduces air circulation, caused by constant opening of draft shields, static charg-ing, and aerosol formation. User know-how no longer plays a role; everything functions auto-matically at the touch of a button, precise and correct. The quality of results becomes more reliable. Thanks to QUANTOS you can optimize your process and address issues such as the necessity for double samples or high sub-stance quantities.
