Features:

• Simultaneous sample processing, up to three times faster than comparable systems available in the market
• Up to 240 samples in 16 x 160 mm tubes or up to 80 samples in 32 x 115 mm tubes
• Superior handling of tablets, capsules, effervescent tablets, powder, pellets and liquids
• Brushless homogenizer motor for maintenance-free use
• Complete control via 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software with LIMS access

Sample Magazine and Sample Input:

• The unique Sotax designed sample magazine can run in a basic version
• With the extend version of the sample magazine it is possible to run up 240 samples (tube size 16 x 160 mm) or 80 (tube size 115 mm).
• The number of tests to be performed is not dependent on the number of dilution steps.

Solvent Input:

• With an optional rinse station the test tubes can be washed out with a selectable solvent to allow a quantitative transfer from your sample.
• The system covers a variety of solvent variants which with an 8-channel solvent selector allows greater flexibility for complex methods. Solvent introduction into the vessel is via a CP1-300 ceramic pump.
• The CTS has a built in temperature sensor, the software will automatically calculate the density of the solvent(s) to be dispensed.

Homogenizer:

• The unit is fully programmable up to a max speed of 15K rpm.
• The design feature of locating the bearings at the top of the tool ensures that at no time during the homogenization step is heat transferred to thesolvent during the process.
• Cleaning cycle requires a minimum amount of organic solvent for washing.
• Software allows programmable individual set up times for homogenization and wash cycle.

Sample Output and Sampling:

• Sample output is carried out via one CP1-35 ceramic head piston pump coupled to a standard filter station.
• The filter station gives the user the added flexibility of using industry standard filters from a range of manufacturers.

Test end and cleaning:

• Emptying and cleaning of the Vessels
• The Vessel is emptied and cleaned effectively and efficiently by nozzles located at angles in the cleaning station.
• Only approx. 25 ml of an organic solvent is required for washing, the vessel will be sprayed and dried with filtered air.
• Cleaning of the Homogenizers.

CTSoft Software:

• Fully 21 CFR Part 11 complaint
• High security through closed system with password access and different user rights assignable.
• Complete audit trail for access, test, method and hardware changes
• Electronic signatures
• Offline database available

• Sample Magazine: 120 (tube size 16 x 160 mm) or 40 (tube size 32 x 115 mm)
• Homogenizer: max speed  15K rpm.
• Dilution ratios: up to 1:40,000 can be performed
