AP W-AD ex and AP W ex Analytical Balances

Supporting Pharmacopoeia Repeatability Tests, with a Class-Leading Minimum Weight of 13 mg

The AP W-AD ex and the AP W ex series of analytical balances have improved their minimum weight from 20 mg to 13 mg, achieving industry-leading performance among commercially available analytical balances (with a minimum display of 0.01 mg).
In recent years, the trend in the analytical balance industry has been to minimize the minimum weight, to meet the demands of pharmaceutical and API manufacturers. The minimum weight for analytical balances is the value determined from repeatability tests based on the examination procedures in the European Pharmacopoeia, the United States Pharmacopeia, and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.

• Class-Leading Minimum Weight of 13 mg
• Equipped as Standard with AP Holder that Enables Direct Weighing into Containers
• The AP W-AD ex Series Retains the Convenient Functions of the Previous Models

LabSolutions Detect

Automatic (AI) Detection of Impurities to Improve Quality Inspections of Pharmaceuticals and Food Products

LabSolutions Detect is a software with AI Functionality to support Anomaly Detection for Liquid Chromatographs (LC). To improve quality inspections for pharmaceuticals and food products, this software quickly detects impurity contamination by comparing LC analysis data with pre-registered data.
Generally, most analysts perform visual inspection of analysis data as final review that this significantly increases the workload, leading to a higher likelihood of human errors. By using automatic impurity detection (AI), LabSolutions Detect improves Quality and Safety by minimizing the oversight of anomalies..
With LabSolutions Detect, correct data and standard values are first registered for peaks showing the type and number of components that must be contained in target compounds. Using the pre-registered data as a base, the software supports determinations of whether the required components are present in sufficient amounts, and if there are any unknown impurities in the sample. Anomalies from large quantities of data are quickly detected by overlaying chromatograms, checking them visually, and automatically comparing similar peaks.

• Automatic (AI) Correction of Retention Times, Simplifying the Comparison of Chromatograms
• Similar Peaks are Automatically Matched, and Common Impurities are Instantly Detected
• Generates the Difference Analysis Results with a Single Click

The LC-2070 and the LC-2080, two models of i-Series integrated high-performance liquid chromatographs feature heightened data reliability and operational efficiency while carrying over the robustness, stability, and data compatibility of previous series. Additionally, for the first time in this series, recycled resins have been adopted for the outer panels and the main housing, thereby lessening the environmental impact.
The i-Series are compact, tabletop models, but provide high basic performance and quick analysis. In total, more than 43000 units have been sold worldwide, primarily to pharmaceutical companies. In the two models being released, a function has been added to diagnose the status of the major units automatically at instrument startup, as well as intelligent Column Management Platform (iCMP), an optionally available function that provides consolidated management of column information. The i-Series maintains the robustness required for all routine analysis required for quality control and enhances operational efficiency and consistency of data acquisition regardless of operator experience level. Additionally, the LC-2070 and LC-2080 use the method development software LabSolutions MD, so in addition to routine analysis, new analysis methods can be developed to suit the objective.
