SoluPrep: Solution Preparator

SoluPrep: Automated Dissolution Media Preparation System – USP <711> Compliant, Superior Productivity

In any pharmaceutical laboratory, preparing media for Dissolution Testing (USP <711>) is an essential but notoriously time-consuming and laborious task. The process demands precision in weighing, measuring, heating, mixing, and especially, degassing. An error at any stage can directly impact the final test results.

The SoluPrep Automated Dissolution Media Preparation System by Electrolab was born to free scientists and technicians from this manual grind, ushering in a new era of efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability.

Why is SoluPrep an Essential Upgrade?

1. End-to-End Automation for a Breakthrough in Productivity

Forget standing for hours weighing, mixing, and waiting. SoluPrep automates the entire workflow:

• Preparation: Automatically mixes concentrated buffers or salts with purified water.

• Heating: Heats the media to the specified setpoint.

• Deaeration: Performs in-line degassing according to USP standards.

• Dispensing: Accurately dispenses by weight (gravimetric) into dissolution vessels.

With the ability to prepare 8 liters of media in under 15 minutes, SoluPrep saves you hours of manual work every single day.

2. Superior Accuracy for Reliable Results

• Gravimetric Dispensing: Far more accurate than volumetric dispensing, it eliminates errors caused by temperature variations and air bubbles, ensuring the amount of media in each vessel is perfectly uniform (±1% accuracy).

• Effective Degassing: Guarantees that the media is thoroughly deaerated, a critical factor for achieving accurate and repeatable dissolution test results.

3. Enhanced Compliance & Effortless Record-Keeping

• Method Storage: Store up to 100 different media preparation methods, making the execution of routine procedures fast and consistent.

• Detailed Reports: Automatically records and prints comprehensive reports of all process parameters, perfectly supporting GMP/GLP compliance and audits.

4. Smart Design, Safe Operation

• 7-inch Touchscreen Interface: Intuitive, making it easy to set up and monitor the entire process.

• Mobile System: The compact trolley design allows for easy movement between different dissolution testers.

• Safety Sensors: Liquid level detection prevents spills, ensuring operator safety.

Applications of SoluPrep

SoluPrep is the ideal solution for all QC and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries that perform dissolution testing according to pharmacopeias such as USP, EP, JP, and IP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about SoluPrep

1. How does SoluPrep save time?

• SoluPrep fully automates manual steps and can prepare 8 liters of media in less than 15 minutes. This frees up technicians to focus on more complex analytical work instead of repetitive tasks.

2. Why is dispensing by weight better than by volume?

• Gravimetric (by weight) dispensing is unaffected by the temperature of the media, which can alter its volume. This ensures every dissolution vessel receives a precise and identical amount of media, significantly improving test reproducibility.

3. Does the degassing level of SoluPrep meet pharmacopeial standards?

• Yes, the in-line deaeration system in SoluPrep is designed to reduce the dissolved oxygen level to below 5-6 ppm, fully meeting the stringent requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for dissolution testing.

4. Can I prepare different types of media?

• Absolutely. You can program and store up to 100 different methods for various media types (e.g., different pH buffers, media with surfactants) and desired dispense volumes.

5. Is cleaning and maintenance of the system difficult?

• SoluPrep is designed for easy cleaning. The system includes programmable automatic flush and rinse cycles to clean the fluidic path after each use, preventing cross-contamination between different media types.

Conclusion

SoluPrep is not just an instrument; it’s a complete workflow upgrade for your laboratory. By automating media preparation, you not only save enormous resources but also enhance the reliability of your data and strengthen your compliance posture. Invest in SoluPrep to elevate your laboratory to a new level of performance and quality.
