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.
