Automated Sample Preparation

Volumetric preparation of solid / liquid oral dosage forms, API, creams and pastes requires accurate execution of multiple laborious steps. Automated sample preparation enhances laboratory productivity by minimizing resource allocation for repetitive tasks such as sample weighing, extraction, filtration, dilution, and transfer to analysis devices. This enables the re-purposing of lab staff to mission critical tasks such as data analysis, reporting, and notebook documentation. Automated procedures can also reduce solvent usage and hazardous waste generation while improving analyst safety by minimizing exposure to hazardous reagents and samples. With hundreds of installations globally, processing thousands of samples, SOTAX automated sample preparation systems have proven to be reliant and compliant solutions to enhance your laboratory's efficiency and streamline your workflows.

TPW

TPW

The TPW is designed to prepare and analyze pharmaceutical solid dosage forms and intermediate granulations. The instrument uses a high shear homogenizer to disperse samples in a vessel containing 20-500 mL of solvent. This makes TPW ideal to efficiently extract analyte for:

  • Tablet and Capsule Stability Indicating Assays
  • Tablet and Capsule Content Uniformity
  • Blend and Granulation Uniformity

APW

APW

The APW is intended for use testing pure Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). It may be used in other situations where smaller solvent volume is required. The APW processes samples in 16mm X 100mm tubes. The instrument may be used for diverse applications, including:

  • API assay
  • API stability and other impurities
  • Residual components
  • Cleaning validation
  • Creams and semi-solid dosage forms
  • Drug loaded medical devices
  • Other extractions for assay
