The SiriusT3 is Sirius Analytical's next-generation system for automated physical-chemical property measurements. It replaces their previous industry-standard GLpKa system with a new modular and miniaturized platform. The SiriusT3 measures properties such as pKas, logPs, and solubility using small sample volumes. It has modules for dispensing, automated sample loading, and titration measurements. The system allows both low-throughput and high-throughput options and can obtain data faster and using less sample than other systems.
2. The SiriusT3 is the next generation With a new modular and ultra-miniaturised
physchem measurement system from Sirius hardware platform, we have developed a
Analytical. It replaces our world renowned new system which meets the needs of the
and market leading GLpKa system, which pharmaceutical industry from early
over the last decade has been established as discovery all the way through to
the industry standard for pKa, logP/D and late stage formulation
solubility determinations. and development.
The SiriusT3 comprises 3 modules:
Dispenser module, which houses Autoloader module, which has a

reagent bottles stored in the easily integrated with existing

moving arm with the assay
probes attached – pH electrode,

capillaries for reagent addition.
All of these probes have been
miniaturised to fit into 1ml
solution volumes. There is a row of
buffer and wash positions used for
automatically calibrating and cleaning the probes, including
a flowing water wash which cleans the electrode with fresh
water after each experiment. At the front of the Titrator
module is the sample position, which is temperature
controlled with a Peltier device (fully controlled by
computer), and an additional turbidity sensing device. This
is the position where the titration for pKa, logP/D or
solubility is performed.

route from low to high throughput physchem
measurements: The highest throughput assays on the SiriusT3 can
measure pKas in under 4 minutes, using just 3µL of 10mM
DMSO stock solution. No other system can offer richly
detailed measured pKa data at this speed and small sample
requirement.
The SiriusT3 allows “gold
standard” physchem measurements to
be performed on sub milligram quantities of
material. This revolution allows the best quality
data to be obtained even on discovery compounds
where sample quantity is a limiting factor. Ordering Information:
