SOTAX Automated Sample Preparation Workstation

The TPW Automated Sample Preparation Workstation 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 s

Assay and content/blend uniformity for up to 100 samples

20 – 520 mL initial extraction volume

Waters Empower™ Interface

Powerful dEsign™ variables for streamlined DoE studies

Video monitoring with VideoLink™

After weighing the sample, the TPW uses a high-shear homogenizer to provide a consistent wet grinding process to quickly extract samples. With this tool, the TPW can achieve efficient and reproducible extraction for even the most challenging dosage forms. Common sample types include traditional soli

Consistent volumetric preparations are confirmed gravimetrically at every step throughout the process. The TPW uses a fluid metering pump to filter extracted samples as they are transferred from the extraction vessel to processing tubes. Post filtration, the system can perform up to 1:100,000 diluti

The built-in HPLC injector supports on-line analysis. Optionally, all pertinent sample information is transferred to Empower™ as the sample sequence is built by the interface as the TPW run list progresses. In addition to on-line HPLC analysis, samples can also be collected in sealed HPLC vials on t

VideoLink TM provides video recording of your sample extraction process when using the automated TPW workstation. One or two cameras can be set to trigger on specific events in the automated preparation process. Using this functionality, it is possible to easily associate a variety of key instrument
