Detailed information

The PharmaPicker comes with a collection cylinder for samples ranging from 0.1 to 1.2 ml in volume.

The PharmaPicker allows for the targeted and controlled collection of small powder samples. Designed for highly potent, expensive, or active substances, this sampler promotes efficient use of materials in the pharmaceutical industry. Interchangeable volume tips allow the user to adjust the sample volume to meet various analytical requirements. The self-closing sliding sleeve enables precise, targeted sampling from defined depths. The collection chamber remains closed during insertion and opens only when gently pulled back at the desired sampling point. This reduces unwanted mixing with material from other layers and enables targeted quality testing. After sampling, the collection chamber can be removed, allowing the sample to be transferred directly into an analysis vessel. The PharmaPicker is made of high-quality 1.4404 (316L) stainless steel, making it suitable for demanding laboratory and production environments. With a penetration depth of 570 mm, deeper areas of powder bulk can be reached. For larger containers, the reach can be extended from 50 or 100 cm to 3.5 m using optional extension rods. Thus, the PharmaPicker offers a flexible solution for sampling free-flowing, powdered, and fine-grained materials.

Typical application area of the product

The PharmaPicker is ideal for sampling in pharmaceutical production, quality control, and laboratory analysis. It allows for the precise extraction of small amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), blends of active ingredients, and finely ground raw materials. When examining bulk powder materials, samples can be taken from specific depths to verify the quality of the material at particular locations.

How to use the product
  1. Insert the desired volume tip into the collection flask.
  2. Insert the PharmaPicker; the sliding sleeve automatically seals the collection bomb.
  3. At the target point, gently pull back the PharmaPicker; the sliding sleeve opens the collection bomb, and the desired sample is collected.
  4. Pull the PharmaPicker all the way back.
  5. Remove the collection vial and transfer the sample directly from the collection vial into the analysis vessel.
