12 850-DS Operator’s Manual
The 850-DS allows you to autonomously collect samples from a dissolution
apparatus. Samples may be collected into various sample holders including 15
mL test tubes, 2 mL vials, and 96-well plates. The vials and well plates may be
conveniently placed on a sample tray that is compatible with Agilent HPLC
autosamplers.The 850-DS provides two basic modes of collecting samples from
a dissolution apparatus: manual control and method control. Manual control
provides full control of the instrument through the Diagnostics screens. You can
independently control all of the features of the instrument.
Method control allows you to enter all the parameters relevant to a sample
collection; prime, sample, and purge volumes, sample collection times, and self
cleaning. If using an Agilent dissolution apparatus, the 850-DS will fully control
the dissolution apparatus through a serial interface.
In manual control as it is possible to pump volumes greater than
those that the sample vessels may hold.
The dissolution apparatus contains electrical circuits, devices,
and components operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with
these circuits, devices and components can cause death,
serious injury, or painful electric shock.
Panels or covers that are retained by fasteners which require the
use of a tool for removal may be opened only by Agilent-trained,
Agilent-qualified, or Agilent-authorized service engineers.
