Dissolved ozone measurements with EC sensors: installation and calibration according to ASTM D7677-11
Author: HACH LANGE

In the last three decades Ozone has become a very important and efficient tool to achieve high quality pharmaceutical grade water. There are several reasons for this: Firstly, because of the quick, broad ad powerful sanitization efficiency. Secondly, because it is easy to generate ozone directly in water without creating by-products. Thirdly, because it is easy to remove it with a 254nm UV light, a positive consequence of ozone’s limited lifetime in water. And, last but not least, the use of ozone also helps to reduce costs when compared to other techniques of water sanitization. This paper will address two main topics that are critical for the effective use of ozone within the water processes of the life science industry.

WEBINAR: Real-time airborne viable particle detection: Technology overview and applicability to pharmaceutical quality systems

Date: Thursday 18 October 2012
Time: 3pm BST
Length: 1 hour

A new family or Rapid Micro Method (RMM), real time viable particle detection based on Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF), has recently been introduced. Sometimes referred to as optical spectroscopy, these instruments provide the ability to continuously measure for the presence of viable particles in real time.

During this webinar an overview of LIF technology will be presented, along with a detailed look at TSI’s implementation in the BioTrak® Real Time Viable Particle Detector highlighting critical instrument performance parameters.

Several application scenarios will be reviewed in the context of current regulatory initiatives such as QbD, ICH Q8, Q9, Q10 and PAT. These applications can form a framework of increased knowledge resulting in a better understanding of the manufacturing process leading to improved product quality in addition to financial benefits.
