The sensIR 3200 from Distek Inc. is the company’s next generation “bathless” disintegrator. The disintegrator uses the latest in bathless heating to offer a disintegrator without the mess and drawbacks associated with conventional water bath-based instruments. By eliminating the water bath and utilizing a sleek modular design, the disintegrator offers two, four or six disintegration test stations in the smallest foot print of any comparably equipped model. The advanced features of the disintegrator provide superior performance and functionality. With rapid media warm-up, the disintegrator heats media from ambient to 37 C in less than eight minutes, significantly increasing throughput by offering rapid changeover between testing. The disintegrator’s color touch screen user interface was designed to provide the user with an intuitive and interactive tool to command the robust features. The icon driven interface lowers overall cost by reducing training time and user errors. Each disintegration basket can operate independently or in unison, thus increasing throughput. The disintegrator meets or exceeds all harmonized compendial design requirements. The disintegrator will offer Auto Endpoint Detection using “Patent Pending” Near Infrared. This state-of-the-art technology provides endpoint detection without the need of a modified fluted disk, therefore eliminating the accelerated disintegration and disparity the use of a fluted disk can cause. The disintegrator will be available Q1 2014.
