Exactly the right instrument for every application - Measurement Solutions for Pharma and Health

In terms of investment, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology have the second-largest growth potential after the transport and automotive industry. This is the result of a study by Ernst & Young. According to this study, China leads the ranking of investment countries, followed by India, the USA and Brazil. This places demand on measurement technology all too well.  The monitoring and documentation of climate data is prescribed. Pharmaceutical guidelines such as the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) form the basis for this, and place the emphasis on conformity, traceability and reliability.

Whether in laboratories, cleanrooms, storage, transport or the health sector: With Testo solutions you are always on the safe side!

Laboratories:

Secure laboratory results can only be achieved with outstanding products -whether for long-term or spot-check measurements, for measurement parameters such as temperature, humidity or pH value. The pH value is probably the parameter most often measured in aqueous solutions. This is why robust, precise measurement technology, as offered for example by the pH/temperature measuring  instruments from the testo 206 series is so important. The measurement data monitoring system testo Saveris monitors the climate in refrigerated rooms and deep-freezers as well as the room climate. It transfers the measured values automatically by wireless or Ethernet to the Saveris base station.

Production & cleanrooms:

The prerequisite for numerous pharmaceutical applications is a controlled production environment. Contamination must be avoided; the end product must be free of pollution by dust. Cleanrooms offer a clean, sterile environment and constant climatic conditions. Temperature, humidity, air volume flow and pressure cascades to the outside rooms can be precisely adjusted.

The multi-function measuring instrument testo 480 is the first choice for the installation and commissioning of ventilation systems for a cleanroom. It supports the standard-compliant adjustment of the systems and records all the relevant parameters in ambient air measurements.

In cleanroom areas, defined pressure differences between cleanroom zones ensure optimum conditions. Special pressure concepts guarantee the air stays pure and prevent cross-contamination. In order to maintain the hygiene conditions, the differential pressures must be continuously measured and regulated. The cleanroom-conform differential pressure transmitter testo 6383 in panel design is installed in the wall, so that its surface is flat. The stationary transmitter testo 6351 regulates and monitors the differential pressure. It additionally calculates the measurement parameters volume flow and flow velocity. In combination with the measurement data monitoring system testo Saveris, the measurement values are recorded, forwarded, centrally documented and compiled into clear reports. All fully automatically.

Storage & transport:

Many raw materials, intermediate and end products are temperature and humidity-sensitive. Their storage site may be neither too warm nor too cold, neither too dry nor too humid.

In order to eliminate the danger of damage to medicaments, you also adhere strictly to the prescribed temperatures for storage. The ambient conditions in the production and storage of medicaments, vaccines or blood products must be continuously monitored and documented. And in addition to this, increased productivity is only possible when you automate measurement data recording. testo Saveris was designed for exactly this purpose. When adjustable upper or lower limit values are exceeded, the system provides audible or optical alarms by SMS or e-mail.

Our data loggers such as the testo 175 T1 are as handy as they are user-friendly and reliable. They are the perfect companion for temperature, humidity and pressure monitoring, not only during transport.

Health Sector:

Whether in clinic laboratories, blood banks, in operating theaters or in hospital dispensaries: quality, safety and efficient processes are central requirements in the health sector. The continuous monitoring of ambient values and other measurement parameters is therefore of great significance for you as the person responsible for processes or quality. Multi-function measuring instruments such as the testo 435 keep a close eye on indoor air quality. The portable, universally applicable temperature measuring instrument testo 925 is similarly versatile. With the broad range of probes for process tests and spot-check measurements, for air, penetration and surface measurements, you monitor difficult-to-access sites as well as exhaust gases or ambient temperature.

testo 350 Emission Analyser in Details

On duty for a clean environment - Testo Emission Analyser

Worldwide energy consumption has doubled since 1970, and is forecast to triple by 2030. There are natural limitations to this growth. Fossil fuels are disappearing; the prices for their extraction and use are increasing. CO2, oxides or soot particles in exhaust gas pollute the environment, influence climate and endanger health. It is therefore essential that energy is produced more efficiently, thermal processes are optimized and emissions reduced. For you as an expert for large and small combustion systems, as an assessor for an official body or as a service technician, this opens up a broad spectrum of measuring, testing and monitoring jobs. The balance between the best possible operation of a system and the strict adherence to legal limit values can only be kept with the help of measurement technology.

Whether you wish to carry out spot-check or long-term measurements, you can determine the concentrations of O₂, CO, CO₂, NO, NO₂, SO₂ , HC or H₂S with high-performance flue gas analyzers from Testo. You can reliably solve any measurement task in emission testing or in the optimization of thermal processes. Measurement procedures stored in the instrument’s memory allow fast efficient measurements on site.

The production of base materials such as steel, cement, glass or chemicals is energy-intensive. Most plants work around the clock. Energy consumption is therefore a decisive cost factor, and relevant to your competitiveness. At the same time, ever tighter pollution control board norms demand the reduction of the pollutant emission. For this reason, you invest in a flue gas analyser. It gives two pronged benefits: 1. It helps to optimally adjust combustion systems – be it a boiler, furnace, turbine or an incinerator. Optimizing combustion efficiency implies near complete combustion of fuel and thereby reducing fuel consumption and cutting fuel bills as well. 2. It monitors hazardous emission limit values and helps to comply with pollution control board norms.

Thus, protecting resources, reducing emissions and maintaining sustainability..!

An interesting video demonstrating testo cooking oil tester's use...

Is the quality of your cooking oil under check? Cooking oil tester testo 270 not only ensures quality but also saves costs.

Regular monitoring of cooking oil is highly essential.  The polar components (TPM – Total Polar Materials) provide information on the age and quality of the oil. If it is aged, it shows an increased TPM value. As a result, qualitatively inferior deep-fried goods are produced, and can additionally contain health-damaging substances. Between 14 and 22 percent TPM, cooking oil develops its best potential. Checking the TPM value, for example using the cooking oil tester testo 270, therefore not only fulfils these safety & health requirements, but also allows you to profit from the optimum lifetime of the oil.

The Challenge

Regularly monitoring cooking oil and using it in optimum quality can be a great challenge for many businesses. The time factor plays a crucial role in this. Regularly checking cooking oil quality during ongoing operations, breaking through the strict work routine in order to carry out the measurement, explaining the handling of the measuring instrument to the staff, and in spite of all this still working hygienically according to the HACCP guidelines, is no easy matter. It is essential that the measurement is carried out efficiently, e.g. by having the instrument immediately ready for use at any time. Apart from this, every member of staff must be able to carry out the measurement without previous knowledge and intensive training. Nor can compromises ever be made in matters of hygiene. The measuring instrument must therefore be easy to clean. It goes without saying, that in the hectic day-to-day business in a kitchen, an instrument can become damaged, and therefore needs to be very robust.

The Solution

Measurements with the testo 270 follow a simple principle: Switch on, simply immerse in hot oil, measure, finished! The tester is ready for use immediately after switching on, and operable with only three self-explanatory buttons. The limit values for the TPM value can be defined by the user according to individual quality requirements. The Auto-Hold function is very useful as it shows when the measurement value is stable. The TPM content of the analyzed oil is now displayed twice. On the one hand as a percentage in the extremely easily legible backlit display. And on the other hand, an alarm bar display shows the quality of the oil in colour according to the traffic-light principle. The staff can now see the quality of the oil at a glance, and can react accordingly if a replacement is due. After the measurement of the oil, the "TopSafe“ protective cover is simply removed and cleaned in a dishwasher. The oil can be removed from the breakproof, embedded sensor under running water using a mild detergent.

The Benefits

The highly accurate testo 270 cooking oil measuring instrument guarantees that the oil and the foods prepared in it are of the highest quality. Regular measurement prevents the oil from being replaced too early or too late. This additionally saves costs. In sum, the measurement accuracy, easy handling and robust design result in the true benefit for the customer: efficient measurement, economic use of resources and the assurance of product quality. All these factors make the testo 270 an indispensible helper wherever deep-fried goods are produced with care, and where checks still need to be carried out as quickly and as easily as possible.
