AT7 smart Dissolution Testing for USP Apparatus 1, 2, 5 and 6
AT7 smart Dissolution Testing for USP Apparatus 1, 2, 5 and 6 The smarter choice for dissolution testing. The AT 7smart is the result of 35 years of development, manufacturing and experience from our customers. Since it takes up a minimum amount of space, it fits into any standard test laboratory. From its exceptional userfriendliness, the SOTAX AT 7smart is particularly noted for its high manufacturing quality and robustness after years of use. The AT 7smart conforms to the latest USP, JP, EP and FDA/ASTM guidelines for apparatus specifications and calibration and the SOTAX AT 7smart can be used for dissolution tests using the USP methods 1 (Basket), 2 (Paddle), 5 (Paddle-over-disk) and 6 (Cylinder).
  1. Features
  2. Specification

Features:

  • Compact, space-saving design with built-in heater/circulator and staggered vessels for easy sample viewing.
  • Fixed position shaft height, built-in evaporation covers for auto vessel centering, fully conforms to USP and ASTM Mechanical Calibration.
  • Modular Concept allows for future upgrades to automation with addition of autosampler, on-line spectrophotometer, UV Fiber Optics or Automated Sampling Device.
  • Using the front panel key pad withgraphic display test parameters like temperature, speed, tablet introduction and sampling time may be programmed.
  • Integrated vessel covers ensure automatic vessel centering and precise positioning of the stirrers without additional tools. Due to the closed design, evaporative loss on evaporation is < 0.5 % in 24 hours at 37 °C.

Ready for Automation:

  • The AT 7smart can be automated at any time to collect samples with a fraction collector, analyze samples with an on-line spectrophotometer or both.
  • The modular concept permits substantially tailor-made automation solutions. Options including “Hollow Shaft” sampling shafts with filter heads, automated media replacement and media addition, automated tablet drop, automated filter changes and On-line HPLC injections.
