Content Uniformity Sample Preparator Xtractr-2T

Xtractr-2T: The Compact 2-Station Content Uniformity Sample Preparator – Flexible, Precise & Ideal for R&D

In pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) and quality control (QC), sample preparation for Content Uniformity testing demands absolute precision, but high-throughput capacity is not always necessary. The Xtractr-2T 2-Station Content Uniformity Sample Preparator by Electrolab is engineered to meet this exact need: a compact, efficient, and flexible device for smaller sample batches.

Why Choose the Xtractr-2T?

Inheriting the most advanced technologies from the Xtractr product line, the 2T model delivers power and reliability in a space-saving design. It is the ideal choice for R&D labs, method development, and the testing of small production batches.

Key Features:

• Compact Design, High Performance: With 2 individually powered stations, the Xtractr-2T enables rapid sample preparation, making it ideal for tasks that do not require the high throughput of the 10-station model.

• Inherited Smart Technology:

  • Non-Contact Temperature Monitoring: A dedicated infrared temperature sensor for each station monitors and maintains a stable temperature, ensuring sample integrity.

  • Automatic Xtainer Detection: The machine will only operate when the sample container (Xtainer) is correctly in place, enhancing operator safety.

  • Smart Reversing Motor: Automatically reverses upon detecting a jam, ensuring a smooth grinding process.

• Maximum Flexibility:

  • Multi-Volume Compatibility: Utilizes the same Xtainer system of 50 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL, allowing for easy adaptation to various sample types.

  • Protection for Sensitive Samples: Optional amber-colored Xtainers provide perfect protection for light-sensitive active ingredients.

• Simple Operation:

  • The LCD interface and membrane keypad allow for intuitive setting of time and speed parameters.

  • Stores up to 10 methods, saving setup time for recurring procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Xtractr-2T

1. What is the difference between the Xtractr-2T and the Xtractr-10 model?

• The main difference is the number of stations. The Xtractr-2T has 2 stations and a more compact design, suitable for labs with lower sample throughput needs, whereas the Xtractr-10 has 10 stations for high-throughput environments.

2. Is this machine suitable for an R&D lab?

• Absolutely. With its flexible 2-station design and small footprint, the Xtractr-2T is the ideal choice for research, method development, and small-batch testing without occupying significant bench space.

3. Is the Xtractr-2T compliant with USP <905>?

• Yes, the instrument is designed to support a sample preparation process that fully complies with the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) chapter <905> for Content Uniformity.

4. Can I use the Xtainers from the Xtractr-10 model with this machine?

• Yes, the Xtractr-2T uses the same Xtainer system (50 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, clear or amber) as the Xtractr-10 model, offering convenience and consistency.

5. What are the safety features of the machine?

• The machine is equipped with multiple safety features, including a closed system, automatic container detection, non-contact temperature sensors to prevent overheating, and an auto-reversing motor.

Conclusion

The Xtractr-2T Sample Preparator strikes the perfect balance between performance, precision, and flexibility. It is a smart investment for R&D and QC labs that aim to improve their sample preparation quality without the need for a large-scale system.
