Xtractr-10: The Fast and Efficient Sample Preparation Solution for the Pharmaceutical Industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, Content Uniformity testing is a mandatory and critical requirement, especially for dosage forms containing 25 mg or less of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), as specified in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) chapter <905>. Traditional sample preparation methods are often time-consuming and prone to high variability. The Xtractr-10 10-Station Content Uniformity Sample Preparation System emerges as a groundbreaking solution, helping laboratories optimize their workflow, enhance productivity, and ensure absolute accuracy.
Why is Xtractr-10 the Premier Choice?
The Xtractr-10 is more than just a standard sample grinder. It is a closed-system, intelligently designed with 10 individually powered stations, enabling the simultaneous preparation of multiple samples quickly and efficiently.
Outstanding Features:
Superior Efficiency: With 10 individually powered stations, the Xtractr-10 significantly reduces the sample preparation time for content uniformity, purity, and assay tests.
Smart Technology:
Automatic Xtainer Detection: The system automatically detects the presence of the sample container (Xtainer), ensuring safety and precise operation.
Non-Contact Temperature Monitoring: A dedicated temperature sensor for each Xtainer monitors and maintains optimal temperature, automatically shutting down on overheating and restarting once the temperature stabilizes.
Reversing Motor: In case of a jam, the motor can automatically reverse to resolve the issue.
Flexibility and Safety:
Multiple Xtainer Volumes: Compatible with 50 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL Xtainers, suitable for all dosage forms and label claims.
Protection for Light-Sensitive Samples: Optional amber-colored Xtainers are available to protect light-sensitive APIs and excipients.
Secure Threaded Lid: The robust screw-on lid design ensures the integrity of the sample inside.
User-Friendly Interface:
A 20×4 alphanumeric LCD screen for easy operation and setup.
Stores up to 10 methods for quick access to frequently used protocols.
Easily print reports via the serial (RS232) printer port.
