[. . . ] Leica EM RAPID Pharmaceutical Milling System for Pills Leica EM RAPID for Pharmaceutic The Leica EM RAPID milling system has been designed for preparation of pills and tablets prior to investigation with NIR spectrophotometry for Research on Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Dispersal. With a tungsten carbide or diamond milling tool, pills can be decapsulated and milled without any smearing effect caused by the pills' coating. [. . . ] The instrument will not run until the cover is closed or stops quickly if the cover is opened during milling. The miller ON/OFF switch is integrated into the control lever for the milling action. Hazardous dust of API material is drawn into a low-noise extraction unit fitted with a Hepa-filter. This filtration system is silent and safe. Protective cover Low-noise extraction and filtration unit fitted with a Hepa-filter. Control lever with integrated ON/OFF switch Exhaust tube connection to the extraction and filtration unit 5 . . . is Easy to Use Integrated viewing system With the specimen pivot arm the sample can be observed during preparation at an angle between 0° and 60°, directly onto the front face and 90° to the front face for distance determination with the eyepiece graticule (optional). The Leica EM RAPID features brilliant LED top light ring-illumination and optimized backlighting for excellent viewing. By moving the control lever up and down the milling action is performed with the pre-selected step advance of the miller using the ergonomic positioned hand wheel. Leica EM RAPID ergonomic MZ stereo outfit The Leica EM RAPID can be ergonomically configured with an MZ stereo microscope in conjunction with the ergo-wedge. The use of the MZ stereo also allows the use of additional equipment such as TV camera and distance definition equipment. 6 . . . is Accurate The Leica EM RAPID is operated by a built-in control panel which provides all necessary functions to achieve highly accurate results. 1 1 2 3 Milling speed (rpm) on LCD display Miller total feed advance on LCD display Variable cutting speed between 300-20000 rpm allows settings to be adjusted for fragile pills. Clear total feed advance to set starting point for defined layer removal of the pill 10 5 Hold advance indication while the miller has been retracted without losing milling position information ON/OFF ring LED illuminator The Auto-Feed function allows safe and fast layer removal without operating the feed hand wheel. Two switch positions are selectable for single or multiple pill holder. Fast forward movement of the miller for quick miller approach towards the sample Fast retraction of the miller and automatic movement to the home position for miller exchange Pre-selection of the miller advance in steps of 0. 5, 1, 10 or 100 m at each click stop of the hand wheel encoder. Investigations on a defined layer can be accurately performed by stepwise removal of the tablet material. Milling tools A selection of design-optimized tungsten carbide and diamond milling tools with a diameter of 8 mm and 12 mm provide high surface quality without any smearing effects caused by the pills' coating. 2 4 5 3 7 6 4 9 8 6 7 8 9 10 7 Leica Microsystems ­ the brand for outstanding products Leica Microsystems' mission is to be the world's first-choice provider of innovative solutions to our customers' needs for vision, measurement and analysis of microstructures.
