REINER! Fraunhofer Purity Technology Award
The "REINER!" purity technology prize from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA will once again be awarded this year for the best new innovations from the purity technology sector at the LOUNGES in Karlsruhe! This year, the "REINER!" is celebrating its tenth anniversary. 10 years of great applications and ideas, full of innovations, sustainable aspects and always with [...]
Conductivity measurements according to USP and Ph. Eur.
Conductivity measurement has been a proven operational measurement technique for monitoring the quality of water for pharmaceutical purposes for many years. In this presentation, the latest developments in the form of digital sensors will be discussed alongside the requirements of the pharmacopoeia for measurement technology.
Make full use of the product life cycle!
When it comes to process instrumentation, companies are aiming for a long life cycle. Support in the form of services is constantly increasing here - individually or as a package. The use of competent service partners is also being promoted by demographic change. But which services can provide support here? This ranges from the professional installation of measuring instruments to calibration and [...]
Operating costs & CO2 footprint-hot & cold WFI systems
CRB has developed a tool that can be used to calculate the resource requirements and operating costs of a pharmaceutical water system in detail, from drinking water to POU. It thus enables an objective comparison of different process combinations. In contrast to many simplified approaches, it takes into account losses during standby phases and when starting up and shutting down the systems, as well as costs for maintenance, spare parts, [...]
Optimize processes, reduce set-up times, sell earlier
High time for innovationThe pharmaceutical industry is facing many challenges today. Be it the trend towards increasing SKU complexity with smaller batch sizes, increasing demands on marketing and user-friendliness, products with shorter life cycles or even personalized medicines. The Covid pandemic has also made it abundantly clear in recent years that a rapid response and [...]
New test method for germ permeability in cleanroom fabrics
The topic of germ permeability (in this case from the inside to the outside - from the wearer to the outside of the cleanroom garment) is a question that has hardly been answered scientifically, especially for cleanroom textiles. The difficult issue of how practice-oriented such test methods are plays an important role here, and the new test method presented in the lecture offers completely new possibilities [...].
Challenges in the processing of OEB5(+) products
This presentation provides an introduction to the topic of highly active substances in order to create a uniform basic understanding. The challenges that arise for the aseptic processing of high-grade OEB products will be demonstrated by means of realized customer projects.
Safe pressure measurement in pharmaceutical plants with watchdog function
The more critical the process - for example, the production of injection solutions - the more important it is to consistently adhere to the sterile limit in the manufacturing process, and selecting the right instrumentation prevents product loss. Diagnostic functions of the instruments can help to safeguard valuable batches by issuing warnings and indicating a potential risk.
Logistics planning
Adapted concepts and processes are required to ensure competitiveness. The harmonization of existing and new processes in logistics planning presents us with a challenge. What is important here is the most precise analysis of existing processes for optimization and the development of new possibilities in order to develop tailor-made concepts. The optimization of processes provides considerable opportunities to increase efficiency. [...]
PDL POWERLIGHT
About the PDL-II UV-A inspection lamp The main task of the UV inspection lamp is to actually emit this ultraviolet light, with a brightness that allows the user to perform the task even in bright daylight. And by ultraviolet light, we of course mean UV-A light. UV-A LEDs have only been on the market for a few years and are still [...]
