Real-time Uv-vis analysis for dissolution testing
Efficiently perform dual dissolution tests simultaneously, seamlessly integrating UV-Vis spectrophotometry to meet stringent pharmacopeia standards without media replacement, enhancing real-time analysis and overall workflow.

The ATS Xtend™ Double UV Online from SOTAX is a cutting-edge dissolution testing system designed for pharmaceutical applications. It enables real-time analysis of up to 16 samples using a high-performance double beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The system facilitates simultaneous testing and analysis, connecting two dissolution testers to a single spectrophotometer, which optimizes lab space and reduces investment costs. Ideal for applications involving aspirin tablets, protein powders, and injectable suspensions, among others, it’s versatile in supporting a wide range of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The system seamlessly integrates into existing workflows with automated sampling, filtration, and return processes, eliminating media replacement needs. It ensures full compliance with Pharmacopeia and 21 CFR part 11 regulations and supports easy expansion with modular components, making it scalable and future-proof. Built with stainless steel for durability, the system simplifies maintenance and is customizable to adapt to specific laboratory needs.
