SOTAX Group, the Swiss specialist in automated dissolution, has launched a filter station for automated filter changes after each sampling point for extended release testing, dissolution profiling and media change methods.

Filter clogging and filter saturation problems associated with 25mm syringe filters can interrupt the dissolution test. The new SOTAX FS 7 can store up to 140 filters at a time and uses common brand filters down to 0.45µm pore size. Controlled by WinSOTAX advanced dissolution software, the SOTAX FS 7 can be integrated with existing on-line UV/VIS or off-line sample collection. Used filters are dispensed into a collection tray for quick disposal.

As a stand-alone unit with manual control, the SOTAX FS 7 can also be used with other manufacturer's baths with piston or syringe style pumps.

The SOTAX FS 7 was designed from the company's fully automated dissolution system, the AT 70smart filter station module, a fully automated dissolution testing system for up to 15 unattended tests. The system automates media preparation and delivery, tablet drop and basket change, filter change, sample analysis and wash cycles.
