SOTAX pharmaceutical testing equipment for the pharmaceutical industry
SOTAX develops pharmaceutical testing equipment and specialised software designed to meet the highest standards of precision and reliability. Moreover, founded in 1973, the company began as an engineering firm focused on addressing the specific needs of the pharmaceutical industry. Over time, SOTAX steadily expanded its technological expertise and global presence.
Today, the company is recognised worldwide as a leading developer of tablet testing systems and complete solutions for pharmaceutical quality control. Furthermore, SOTAX combines innovation with deep technical know-how, ensuring consistent performance and long-term regulatory compliance.
Certified quality standards for pharmaceutical testing equipment
Quality management plays a central role in SOTAX’s operations. Therefore, the company continuously improves its internal processes to comply with GMP, GAMP and ISO 9000 standards.
In 1996, SOTAX achieved ISO 9001 certification and later extended it to include the TickIT quality system for software development. As a result, it became the first manufacturer of dissolution testing systems to obtain this certification.
In addition, SOTAX pharmaceutical testing equipment complies with USP, EP and FDA standards. At the same time, all systems meet the requirements of CFR 21 Part 11, ensuring data integrity and regulatory acceptance.
Advanced laboratory systems and automated testing solutions
SOTAX has built a strong international reputation as a specialist in advanced laboratory equipment and automated testing systems. In particular, the company works closely with major pharmaceutical groups to develop tailored hardware solutions and customised software for specific applications.
Consequently, laboratories benefit from improved efficiency, reliable repeatability and full traceability of analytical results. Thus, these factors directly support effective pharmaceutical quality control.
