Self-cleaning dissolution tester for automated series testing
In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining consistent and reproducible dissolution test results can be challenging. Manual testing demands intensive operator involvement and can lead to variability in results. What’s needed is a fully automated system to streamline the entire process from media preparation to sample collection.
Automates dissolution testing with self-cleaning capability
The ATF Xtend™ Offline by Sotax AG is a self-cleaning dissolution tester designed to perform a series of test runs without any manual intervention. By automating media preparation, vessel filling, sampling, filtration, and system cleaning, it eliminates operator action during tests. The integrated modules enable automatic media heating and degassing, and high-precision piston pumps ensure fine filtration down to 0.2 microns. The system guarantees 100% traceability and repeatability by recording every step, from vessel filling to final cleaning. Capable of handling multiple test runs, it offers offline sample collection in various formats including glass tubes, capped vials, and wellplates from up to 60 timepoints. Designed for quality control and research and development departments, it supports compliance with Pharmacopeia requirements.
