Autosampling Configurations
Vision G2 dissolution test instruments are built for seamless integration, intuitive programming, and flexible operation, making them suitable for a wide range of applications while maintaining maximum throughput and productivity. Lab systems can be configured to handle anything from basic single-bath routines to extensive multi-bath testing.
The system also enables sample collection for off-line analysis in UV-Vis, HPLC, or UPLC® detectors. The product line includes the Vision G2 Classic 6, Vision G2 Elite 8, as well as the Vision AutoPlus autosampler and AutoFill collector.
Collection Racks
AutoFill collection racks feature smart technology that alerts the AutoPlus autosampler if the wrong rack type is used for a method. In such cases, the AutoPlus displays a notification message, ensuring the correct rack is selected for testing. A variety of rack styles are available, including options for 16 x 100 mm test tubes, 13 x 100 mm test tubes, and 12 x 32 mm HPLC Vials.
Additional options include collection racks, vial trays, and needle block kits compatible with Agilent HPLC systems, as well as Waters Acquity UPLC systems. Test tubes and vials with pre-cut septum are also available.
