Risk-based optimization of calibration intervals
There is no general answer as to when exactly the right time has come to calibrate the device. Even the relevant regulations do not provide sufficient information on this. Due to the existing uncertainties, calibration intervals are often set at one year for lack of better knowledge, but this does not do justice to the heterogeneity of the various measuring points. So while one measuring point is far from being [...]
Basics of water chemistry
The presentation deals with the properties of water and its chemical and microbiological ingredients. The critical parameters for the design and layout of a pharmaceutical water treatment system are emphasized.
Integrated real-time production planning
Real-time planning directly integrated into the production software enables the manufacturing industry in the pharmaceutical, biotech and specialty chemicals sectors to gain far better and more detailed insights into the production process. This makes it possible to react directly to delays and deviations from planning and evaluate the impact on delivery data. Production, planning and management have direct and [...]

Production of toxic substances in the isolator
In biopharmaceutical manufacturing, the trend is towards the production of new oncology products such as ADCs (antibody drug conjugates) or in the field of regenerative medicine such as genes and immunotherapies. Most of these pharmaceutical products are combination products that also contain a highly active substance. These highly active substances require a new form of employee protection [...]
EMSuite® Monitoring Next Generation
Based on the latest software architecture from Ellab, the monitoring system opens up new possibilities in the areas of data acquisition, data display and data forwarding to other connected systems. The new smart sensors ensure the most effective calibration over the entire life cycle of the system. Thanks to the hot swap technology, sensors can be replaced in seconds during operation [...]
Clean room air conditioning and flow characteristics
The use of cleanroom technology and cleanroom air conditioning is subject to the requirements of personal protection and/or product protection against contamination and impurities. The primary objective is to control contamination at the point of use, or at the point of release in the opposite direction. To achieve reproducible quality with the help of contamination control, defined flow parameters must be set depending on the substances/materials used, the production facility [...]
Mobile preparation container as a virtual twin
Mobile preparation containers and system components are an integral part of highly flexible production processes in pharmaceutical production. For various reasons, complete virtual integration into existing MRP and process control systems has hardly been possible to date. The presentation shows an efficient and safe way to integrate new and existing mobile batching containers and thus achieve maximum production safety and conformity.
Cyclop A1: Extended clothing concept - Annex 1
Annex 1 Chapter 7.13 stipulates that the face should be covered and enclosed at all times to prevent the escape of droplets and particles. Foggy glasses, uncomfortable headgear, improper clothing,... these are just a few reasons that may lead the wearer to inadvertently or carelessly create a contamination risk in the aseptic environment. We address these critical [...]
Mobile reference measurement in the cleanroom vs. calibration (DAkkS)
It is often necessary to verify flow sensors installed in the cleanroom or in clean processes from time to time without dismantling them and removing them from the cleanroom. It is then particularly important that the counter-measurement is implemented using the identical measuring principle. There are now wireless options that enable the cleanroom operator to monitor the flow sensors used [...]
