 Sartorius USP balances
The minimum sample quantities allowed in
accordance with the United States Pharma-
copeia are clearly defined.
In practice, this has resulted in the require-
ment that high-resolution balances with
readabilities between 0.1 µg and 10 µg have
to be used for weighing minimum sample
quantities of 1-30 mg.
suitable verified Sartorius balances for
officially weighing the minimum sample
quantities (the quantities listed are empirical
values that may vary depending on the
particular conditions prevailing at the place
of use of the balance):

Moreover, the USP requires that the mini-

mum sample quantity be weighed at the
particular place of use of the corresponding
balance. In the following, you will find the
