Description

The FOSS MasterLab™, based on XDS near-
infrared (NIR) technology, provides the next
generation of dedicated NIR analysis for
rapid non-destructive measurements of
tablets, solids and liquids. With the XDS
MasterLab you can replace routine tests,
reduce product hold time and virtually
eliminate quarantine time. Composition or
material identification testing is performed
either in the laboratory or at-line on
tablets or samples in vials. The Analyzer
supports acquisition of spectra in an
unattended mode, freeing the operator to
prepare other samples, analyze data, etc.
The XDS MasterLab offers pharmaceutical
manufacturers a rapid, reliable test method
covering the full array of solid dosage
forms: layered, coated or cored tablets,
capsules, caplets, geltabs and gelcaps. The
versatile sampling mechanism of the
MasterLab offers an automated and unattended
reflectance or transmission analysis of a
tray of multiple tablets or vials. The
transmission mode for tablets provides a
representative whole body measurement
whereas the reflectance mode measures the
outside layers.

  • XDS NIR technology ensures ease-of-use
    and seamless method transferability
  • Automated, unattended transmission or
    reflectance analysis of a tray of multiple
    tablets (size and form of tablets selected
    by user)
  • Automated, unattended reflectance
    analysis of a tray of multiple vials (size
    of vials selected by user)
  • Non-destructive analysis of solids and
    liquids in less than a minute - through
    bags, glass vials or beakers
  • Analysis of fine powders to coarse
    granular materials such as pellets or flakes
    and dosage forms
  • No sample preparation, no reagents, no
    waste
