Automated dissolution sample collection system

Double your testing efficiency with parallel dissolution sampling, ensuring consistent results and streamlined workflow for high-demand laboratory environments.

The ATS Xtend™ Double Offline Dissolution Tester from SOTAX streamlines pharmaceutical testing processes by enabling simultaneous sample collection from dual dissolution baths. This system stands out for its ability to conduct high-throughput dissolution testing, utilizing dual-rack autosamplers designed to handle up to 16 vessels per session. Ideal for products like tablets, capsules, and other solid forms, it ensures precise sampling and consistent data management. The integration of CP piston pumps and SAM S sample manager automates collection, ensuring reproducibility and minimizing human error. Meeting stringent compliance standards such as USP <711> and 21 CFR part 11, this tester guarantees regulatory adherence. The design requires minimal bench space and offers flexible integration options with existing lab setups, utilizing a space-saving stackable configuration. With its robust construction, the equipment supports continuous sampling, reducing operational downtime and enhancing laboratory efficiency. SOTAX provides customizable configurations and comprehensive engineering support to fit specific lab needs, ensuring reliable performance across diverse pharmaceutical applications.
