Dissolution medium preparation system
Streamline your laboratory workflows with a system that prepares and manages dissolution medium efficiently, ensuring accurate and repeatable conditions for comprehensive testing while minimizing human error.

The MP Xtend™ media preparation station from SOTAX revolutionizes the dissolution testing workflow by automating the preparation of dissolution media. This equipment stands out for its ability to consistently heat, degas, and dispense media with precision. Ideal for pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical industries, it ensures standardized conditions in producing analgesic tablets, vitamin capsules, and various formulations.
The station uses vacuum technology for effective degassing, maintaining USP and FDA-recommended oxygen levels. With a 16-liter capacity, it supports multiple dissolution runs, optimizing throughput in high-speed operations. Full traceability is guaranteed through automated gravimetric volume control and comprehensive audit trails, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Ergonomically designed with the SmartFill™ dispensing head, the MP Xtend™ easily integrates into existing lab setups and minimizes human error. The system supports diverse media, including distilled water, ready-to-use solutions, and concentrated mixtures. An intensive self-cleaning routine ensures easy maintenance and prevents cross-contamination, enhancing operational efficiency.
SOTAX offers extensive customization and engineering support, allowing configurations tailored to specific process needs, while robust materials confer reliable performance in demanding lab environments.
