Introduction
The Media Degasser EMD-21 DO is a specialized system for preparing dissolution media with dissolved oxygen (DO) monitoring. This unit automates the heating, deaeration, and dispensing of media while incorporating a DO₂ probe. This allows for the verification and recording of deaeration levels, ensuring consistent and auditable test conditions.
Product Overview
The Media Degasser EMD-21 DO is designed for labs requiring tight control over media parameters. Its standout feature is the integrated DO₂ probe, which provides real-time oxygen measurements. This data is critical for compliance and audit purposes. With a 21-liter tank and a precise dispensing system, the unit streamlines the workflow. It ensures that every batch of media meets the strict pharmacopeia requirements for dissolved gas content.
Key Features
- Integrated DO₂ Probe: Measures and records dissolved oxygen levels in the media for verification.
- Accurate Volumetric Dispensing: Ensures accuracy better than ±1% as per USP and Ph. Eur. requirements.
- Large Capacity: The 21 L tank is sufficient for up to 3 dissolution tests (n=6).
- Surfactant Handling: A special nozzle design allows for deaeration of media like SLS without frothing.
- Programmable Parameters: Allows customization of deaeration time, temperature, and vacuum.
- Mobile System: Easy to maneuver in the lab with a 360° turning radius.
- Reporting: Capable of generating detailed reports that include DO₂ levels for record-keeping.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the main function of the DO₂ probe on the Media Degasser EMD-21 DO?
The DO₂ probe measures and documents the dissolved oxygen level in the media, providing quantitative proof that the media has been properly degassed to the set parameters.
2. Does the Media Degasser EMD-21 DO have a built-in printer?
No, the EMD-21 DO model does not have a built-in printer, but it can generate report data that can be printed with an optional external printer.
3. What is the difference between this model and the EMD-21PDO?
The Media Degasser EMD-21 DO has the DO probe but no printer. The EMD-21PDO model includes both the DO probe and an integrated printer.
4. Can this unit degas media containing Tween?
Yes, its special nozzle design allows for the effective deaeration of surfactant media, including Tween, while avoiding frothing.
5. Does the instrument store batch information?
Yes, the onboard memory can store information for up to 10 batches of degassed media.
Conclusion
The Media Degasser EMD-21 DO offers a robust solution for controlled dissolution media preparation. Its integration of a DO₂ probe ensures a higher level of compliance and confidence in your test results. Contact us for more information.
