Multi-function head.
The AT-F dissolution bath is pre-configured with a multi-function head, that seamlessly operates with other integrated XtendTM modules for fully automated testing. Up to eight functionalities are combined for each vessel - such as media inlets for vessel filling, motorized waste cannulas to empty vessels, rotating spray nozzles for power washing, return lines, temperature probes, and motorized AutoLiftTM sampling cannulas.

Fill vessels.
In combination with the integrated MP-F media preparation module, the AT-F bath automatically fills vessels. Media is dispensed down the vessel wall avoiding media re-aeration. Delivered volumes are confirmed gravimetrically by the MP-F and in-vessel volumes are monitored throughout the test.

Empty & Clean.
No need to remove vessels anymore. In combination with the integrated CS-F module, the AT-F automatically empties all vessels on completion of a test run and starts the washing routine. Customized self-cleaning procedures can be created and saved per product allowing for enhanced routines.
