Semi-automatic dissolution tester AT Xtend™

manualfor the pharmaceutical industrylaboratory

Overview
AT Xtend™ Manual is a manual dissolution tester designed for repeatable, controlled manual sampling with advanced per-vessel monitoring and data management suitable for pharmaceutical laboratories and QC environments.

Key benefits

• SAMPLING - Simple, repeatable manual sampling using HollowShaft™ technology
• EASY - Intuitive EasyTouch™ touchscreen with operator prompts for staggered starts
• FLEXIBLE - Supports dissolution methods USP 1/2/5/6 and non-compendial procedures
• DATA - Fast method creation, version control and advanced user administration
• TEMPERATURE - Individual vessel temperature protocolling prior to sampling
• MONITORING - Per-vessel video monitoring option for dissolution behaviour recording
• AUTOMATION-READY - Convertible to semi-automated system via Xtend™ modules

Highlights

• Repeatable sampling. HollowShaft™ manual sampling connects syringes to luer-locks on the suction head; samples are drawn through the drive shaft with fixed sampling position for 100% repeatability and minimal hydrodynamic disturbance.
• Guided procedures. EasyTouch™ icon-based interface provides operator prompts for staggered starts, audible alerts for timepoints and guided staggered sampling workflows.
• See what's happening. Circular bath offers unobstructed full-vessel view. Optional CenterView™ video monitoring and in-vessel temperature measurement with AutoLift™ improve protocolling and traceability.
• Automation-ready. The manual bath can be extended into a semi-automated dissolution system by adding Xtend™ modules for automatic sampling, capped LC vial collection and integration of UV-Vis and other analytical devices.
• Compliance by design. Self-centering vessels, fixed shaft height and low wobble ratings facilitate fast changeovers and support pharmacopeial compliance.

Options & Modules

• MPS media station: mobile station to heat, degas and dispense media into vessels
• CenterView™: per-vessel video monitoring of the dissolution process
• q-doc® software: centralized data management with built-in 21 CFR part 11 compliance
