UV/VIS Spectrophotometers play an important role in many dissolution testing applications, allowing users to have very fast and reliable measurements. The Xtend™ Line from SOTAX, coupled with UV7 Excellence, with its fully scalable and modular dissolution systems offers optimally flexible systems that meet the constant changes of today's fast paced pharmaceutical environment.  

Standardized SOTAX Xtend™ modules, such as the dissolution bath, pump, filter station, and sample manager, can be combined for different automation requirements. Similarly, the UV7 Spectrophotometer can be configured with the CuvetteChanger and CertiRef (Automated Performance Verification) to meet full automation possibilities. All modules and components of the Xtend™ line and UV7 Spectrophotometer have a robust design to meet the most demanding conditions.

Samples in dissolution vessels are automatically extracted, filtered and transferred to the UV7 Spectrophotometer for analysis. Scan time of the UV7 Spectrophotometer is only a matter of seconds, allowing for fast measurement results. Moreover, absorbance data is securely calculated in concentration and percentage dissolved.

The Xtend™ Line dissolution apparatus and the UV7 Spectrophotometers fully comply with all harmonized Pharmacopeia requirements (Eu. Ph. and USP). The proven SOTAX AutoCompliance™ concept with fixed shaft height and vessel positioning guarantees 100% compliance without requiring time-consuming adjustments by the operator.

The 21 CFR, Part 11 compliant Q-Doc Dissolution software from SOTAX fully integrates the UV7 Spectrophotometer. Whether used standalone or in a networked environment, the modern client-server architecture can be flexibly implemented for different needs. From data capture to analysis with customized reporting and exporting features including a complete audit trail.
