Dynatek Labs CDT-5 - Manual (Page 3)

Giving you the technological muscle of larger labs – at a fraction of the cost!
Unmatched support provides peace of
mind
The technology, quality and reliability of our instruments have made
Dynatek the undisputed world leader in durability testing. When you
invest in the CDT-5, our world-class support is included, from training
your staff to ensuring maximum instrument uptime.
Dedicated software gets you results faster
The CDT-5’s software package is easy to use right out of the box.
Intuitive menus with large, easy-to-read ‘dial type’ readouts on screen
allow you to conveniently set up, monitor and control instrument
status. Data from your tests are logged into TDMS files that can be
accessed by Excel, DIAdem and Matlab programs.
True deflection metrics – in real time
An optional laser micrometer on the CDT-5 monitors the real-
time outer diameter of the selected mock vessel as it undergoes
deflection. However, we know seeing is believing, and for the
most accurate visualization of stent deflection, we recommend the
optional high-speed camera. Two user-chosen points on the stent
are mapped throughout each cycle resulting in a very accurate
determination of stent deflection. With this tester, you will be
compliant with the requirements of upcoming regulations that
mandate observation of actual stent deflection. Only the CDT-
5 and its sibling the CDT-20 Coating Durability Testers offer the
optional high-speed camera upgrade.
Cutting-edge science with convenient
operation
The CDT-5 offers a powerful solution to stent testing challenges, while
remaining an easy instrument to operate. Case in point: you can hot-
swap samples on the CDT-5 in minutes with the optional isolation valve
system and spike wrench. Dynatek believes that powerful technology
should be easy to leverage and the CDT-5 exemplifies this belief.
“…for a start-up like ours, the CDT-5 gave
us the technological muscle to quickly
screen our stent candidates and zero in
on those designs that had the greatest
potential, at a price that we could afford…”
