CAMAG®
Automatic Developing Chamber 2
In a nutshell
the standard for reproducible results
Development is a critical step in HPTLC, and the ADC 2 ensures reproducible results by fully automating the development process and eliminating environmental influences. The ADC 2 precisely controls layer activity, chamber saturation, developing distance, and final drying, ensuring consistent chromatographic separations.
This advanced system offers two operational modes: standalone with parameter input via a keypad or software-controlled operation using visionCATS. The software mode provides enhanced process monitoring, parameter documentation, and detailed reporting, making the ADC 2 suitable for regulated environments.
Designed for compatibility with 20 x 10 cm Twin Trough Chambers, the ADC 2 maintains the conditions of established analytical procedures while minimizing operational variability. The optional Humidity Control feature enables chromatography at defined layer activity, critical for method development and studying the effects of relative humidity. Integration with visionCATS software supports compliance with cGMP/GLP requirements and 21 CFR Part 11, ensuring its suitability for highly regulated workflows.
