Sartorius : What equipment for weighing, ultrapure water, filtration and pipetting?

A major player in life sciences, Sartorius equips academic, industrial and quality control laboratories with solutions renowned for their reliability. From high-precision analytical weighing to systems for ultrapure water, via filtration and pipettes, the brand sets the benchmark. It combines ergonomics, traceability and compliance to support R&D, QC and manufacturing across the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, environmental and cosmetics sectors.

Pioneering since 1870

Founded in 1870 in Göttingen, Germany, Sartorius began by making analytical balances whose reliability was exceptional for the time. Over the decades, the company expanded its expertise into filtration and laboratory solutions, and later into bioprocess technologies. Its story has been shaped by steady growth, the integration of key innovations, and a German engineering culture centred on quality. Today, with headquarters in Göttingen and a major bioprocessing hub in Aubagne (France), Sartorius operates a global network serving laboratories and industry. Its purpose remains the same: to make science safer, simpler and faster – with sustainable products and reliable services.

Our Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

In the lab, Sartorius is synonymous with measurement and purity.
• Weighing and metrology: Cubis II, Quintix, Secura, Practum analytical and precision balances, plus micro- and ultra-microbalances. Stability, repeatability and compliance features (audit trail, user management) deliver defensible results in QC and R&D.
• Liquid handling: mechanical and electronic pipettes Picus/Tacta, Proline, with advanced ergonomics to reduce fatigue, and tips optimised for volumetric accuracy. Aligned with best practice, they safeguard sensitive protocols.
• Filtration and microbiology: Minisart syringe filters (PTFE, PVDF, CA…) for aqueous or solvent-based samples, Microsart units for microbiological testing, and MD8 air sampling for environmental monitoring. Traceability and consistent performance for the pharma, food & beverage and environmental sectors.
• Laboratory water: Arium systems (Type 1/2/3) deliver reproducible water for HPLC, cell culture or sensitive assays. Maintenance-friendly design, smart sensors, controlled operating costs.
• Sterility testing: the closed Sterisart system enables sterility testing of pharmaceutical products.

Why Sartorius is recognised: exemplary reliability, meticulous attention to ergonomics, and built-in compliance features that make audits easier. Materials and performance align with international regulatory expectations, while European manufacturing sites ensure consistent quality. Underpinning it all, a sustainability policy aimed at reducing the environmental footprint (eco-design, energy optimisation, extended product life) — because good data is also responsible data.
