Polymorphism has become a serious concern in today's pharmaceutical research as it affects a number of issues in pharmaceutical systems varying from processing characteristics & shelf life, to bioavailability. To reduce "surprises" and secure potential product patents, polymorph screening is considered at a very early stage in the drug discovery process. At this stage, since a large number of candidates with very small sample volumes have to be tested, only an automated system could cope with the requirements. Zinsser Analytic developed CRISSY, an automatic workbench for salt pre-screening and polymorph screening studies.

Typical Applications include:
The AQ2 employs a robust robotic sampling arm working in conjunction with a stepper motor-driven syringe that is responsible for aspirating, dispensing and mixing accurate and precise quantities of sample and reagent in miniaturized test tubes called reaction wells.
The sample and reagents are incubated in the reaction wells for a pre-programmed time. A single aliquot is then transferred into a 10mm 100% optical glass cuvette. The absorbance is read on the stationary reactant to ensure the best possible signal to noise ratio.
The sample is always read in the same position in front of the detector, in the same glass cuvette. This eliminates the issues of scratching and reaction well variability found with direct read systems. As the liquid is moved, not the tray, fewer moving parts means higher reliability.
The standard methods supplied have optimized reaction times which ensure the reaction is brought to completion. This complete reaction emulates the manual and segmented flow methods and ensures lowest detection limits and good reproducibility.
Once the absorbance is read, the glass cuvette is thoroughly cleaned and checked, ensuring no carryover or cross contamination.
QUAATRO is a high performance, fully automated instrument that uses the principles of segmented flow analysis to achieve complete reaction, high reproducibility and ultra-low detection limits.
QUAATRO uses microflow hydraulics, enabling high sample rates with low sample and reagent consumption. QUAATRO is ideal for water and seawater analysis when high throughput and ultra-low detection limits are required.
QUAATRO is a microflow SFA system, the internal diameter of all glassware being 1mm. This reduces reagent consumption and increases throughput, with most methods running at 100 - 120 samples hour.
QUAATRO has many unique features to increase ease of use and reduce ownership costs. The integrated enclosed manifold and detector are heated to 37 C. Flow stability is ensured as the optimal bubble frequency for each method is programmed by silent air valves. Automatic start-up, method changeover and shutdown allows true unattended operation and overnight running.
QUAATRO checks its own performance, with automatic monitoring of noise, drift, bubble pattern and light energy, before and during a run.
QUAATRO high resolution digital photometer, with optimized optics and 24-bit resolution, provides higher sensitivity at ultra-low concentrations, wider dynamic ranges and lower detection limits. LED light sources are available for high performance applications, such as use on research vessels. Various flowcells are available, all with bubble-through technology.
The enclosed heated chemistry manifold on QUAATRO means there is no need for heating baths. Microflow hydraulics allows faster analysis rates, lower reagent consumption and results in less waste. The inert glass components allow easy visual check for correct operation and easy cleaning. Four chemistries can be run simultaneously on one console. 5 channel seawater QUAATRO is available.
The heart of the system, the high precision three-speed peristaltic pump, ensures regular, reproducible dosing of liquid. Optional reagent valves allow automatic start up, method switching and shut down.
