Sartorius YDP30 Thermo Direct Printer

• Printing GLP/GMP compliant records directly from laboratory balances in pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
• Generating traceability labels for samples and batches in research and development laboratories.
• Producing weight data printouts for quality control documentation in manufacturing.
• Creating adhesive labels for sample identification in clinical and analytical laboratories.

Printing Technology

Typically supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing.

Print Resolution

Commonly 203 dpi for clear text and barcodes.

Max Print Width

For this class of equipment, typically around 54 mm (2.13 inches).

Compatibility

Designed for seamless integration with Sartorius laboratory balances (e.g., Practum®, Quintix®, Secura®, MA37, MA160).

Media Types

Typically handles standard paper, continuous rolls, and adhesive labels.

Connectivity

Commonly connects directly to compatible Sartorius balances for data transfer.

• What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printing?

  Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive paper that darkens directly. Thermal transfer printing uses a ribbon, which transfers ink to the paper, offering more durable and fade-resistant printouts.

• Can this printer be used with non-Sartorius balances?

• What kind of labels or paper does it use?

• Is this unit suitable for GLP/GMP environments?

• Are ribbons required for operation?

Barcode scanners and printers are valued in laboratory and pharmaceutical environments for improving sample tracking accuracy and reducing manual data entry errors. Buyers typically seek reliable, durable models that integrate well with existing systems. When purchasing used equipment, condition of optical components and print heads matters significantly. Common strengths include long operational lifespans and straightforward maintenance requirements. Compatibility with standard labelling formats and network connectivity are frequently assessed before purchase. Reputable brands tend to hold value well on secondary markets.
