40 January 2015 Tablets & Capsules Sample preparation system CambTek rapid extraction system automatically extracts and prepares samples of solid dosage forms, including immedi- ate- and extended-release tablets and capsules, gels, powders, granulations, beads, pellets, and semi-solid matrices. System couples turbulent fluidic solvent flow with ultrasonic energy to speed processing. It operates unattended, and programmed extraction methods ensure reproducible results while elimi- nating need for high-skill operators. Control software with audit trails and e-signatures permits traceability, and each component used in extraction carries unique barcode.
