Horsham,PA (October 10,2005) �SOTAX AG (Basel,Switzerland), the worldwide market leader in automated dissolution innovation launches its new complete line of automated tablet hardness,thickness,and measurement testing instruments.

Three new instruments have been developed to answer our customers' needs:

The SOTAX HT1 is an excellent tool for the tablet press room. It measures tablet hardness and length or diameter. The test jaws can be used to measure tablet thickness thus eliminating the need for an external caliper.The HT1 also offers an external integrated balance to measure tablet weight.

The SOTAX HT10 is optimal for all In–Process Check Rooms. It offers the same measuring capacities as the HT1 but automates the entire process for up to 20 tablets.

The SOTAX HT100 is ideal for the QC and R&D lab. It incorporates a built–in weight cell to record tablet weights. The HT100 offers a unique system that automatically separates different tablet shapes and sizes without operator intervention.This unit can measure hundreds of tablets at one time.

The entire line of SOTAX hardness testers uses the patented Auto–Alignment device to ensure proper alignment of all tablet shapes,especially critical for small oblong tablets.1 All SOTAX hardness testers can be customized to utilize “Constant Speed” or “Constant Force” to match a customer's current measurement principle.Additionally,our new release of the 21 CFR Part 11 compliant Q–Doc Quality Documentation Software can control and record all measurements electronically for a paperless production environment.
