Caliper has worked with the pharmaceutical industry's most expert automation chemists to design and test this 3rd generation replacement for the Prelude Workstation. The APW3 accurately automates traditional method steps to disperse, or extract dissolve active pharmaceutical ingredients or other analytes within 100 X 16 mm test tubes. Dispenses can be set to accurately achieve specified concentration or deliver a specified quantity. Other capabilities include filtration, dilution, mixing, online LC, and on line UV analysis. An optional sonicating probe facilitates solubility. Improved Quality of Analysis - The APW3 improves the quality for everyday laboratory tasks by eliminating technique dependency. Accuracy is assured by gravimetric verification of each method step. Increased Productivity - The labor saved by APW3 allows more time for other, more critical challenges. Many tasks performed by APW3 can do the work of one or more analysts. Fully Compliant - The APW3 is primarily intended for use within the regulated pharmaceutical industry around the world. Compliance has been taken into consideration for all aspects of use.
