Choosing the Proper Equipment for Pharmaceutical Stability Room Humidity and Temperature Mapping
October 5, 2012 5:08 pm | by RotronicPharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies are under a great deal of pressure to comply with regulatory requirements from the inception of a product to its final destination. One such aspect of the regulatory process is stability testing. Stability testing allows drug manufactures to expose the product to conditions that might occur in the supply chain, as well as provide for stress testing for determination of shelf life. Stability testing relies on three important parameters:
Eliminating Static Electric Dangers is not Rocket Science
September 6, 2012 5:03 pm | by Newson GaleA Newson Gale White Paper, “You Don’t Have To Be a Rocket Scientist” is a concise engineering guide for the person responsible for protecting plant equipment and personnel from the hazards associated with the potential for static discharge. It provides a step-by-step audit procedure to evaluate the potential for a manufacturing or handling process to produce a static electric charge, how best to deal with it when flammable or combustible atmospheres also occur, and the content and scope of applicable engineering standards and guidelines.
