Whether used as a manual apparatus or as the core component in an automated dissolution system, the AT has been designed for the most demanding environments. Its unique design combines robust quality components with state-of-the-art technology to guarantee reproducible testing conditions, day after day. Depending on the required automation level, the AT can be flexibly extended with additional Xtend modules, making method transfer for increased throughput requirements easier than ever.
