Ensuring Cleanliness and Product Quality Keeping precision parts free from contamination is crucial in industries like aerospace, automotive, semiconductors, and medical devices. Even the smallest particles can impact performance, reduce product lifespan, or, in the case of medical implants, pose serious health risks. To maintain high cleanliness standards, manufacturers use strict cleaning processes, often shifting […]
Liquid particle counters are like silent guardians in industries where fluid purity is critical. From pharmaceuticals to water treatment and semiconductor manufacturing, these devices ensure that tiny, often invisible particles don’t compromise product quality, safety, or efficiency. Let’s break down how they work, where they’re used, and what makes them so important. How Liquid Particle […]
In the world of pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, semiconductor fabrication, and cleanroom environments, precision monitoring is critical to ensuring the effectiveness and safety of quality products. The accuracy of your monitoring data is paramount to avoiding errors and losses during production. False count rate, also known as zero-count rate, is a crucial metric used to assess the […]

Contaminated water can jeopardize product quality and, ultimately, patient safety. […]
Qualification of Vertex50 to measure and detect ≥50nm trends in UPW systems The Vertex50 has TRUE sensitivity at 50nm has been qualified to measure and detect ≥50nm particles in Ultra-Pure Water Systems (UPW). UPW systems are used in many industries worldwide to provide high purity water. Ultrapure water is a commonly used term in the […]
If you have ever had a shot or used a cellphone, you have relied on a liquid particle counter! Liquid particle counters are used to measure the size and volume of particles in a sample of ultrapure water used in cleanrooms. Ultrapure water is water that has been specially processed to minimize contamination. It is […]
What happens if an injectable is contaminated? Infections, complications, vein irritation, local tissue infarction, anaphylactic shock, other health risks, and potentially death… The end-user is put in jeopardy. That is why it is vital we prevent contamination at the source: in the cleanroom during the manufacturing of the pharmaceuticals. This involves utilizing a liquid particle counter […]
We are all too well aware of the adverse effects of particulate matter contamination within parenteral injectable pharmaceutical products and the consequences for patient safety. Here, particulate matter refers to the small, sub visible particles. The United States Pharmacopoeia, USP <788> provides two tests for detecting such particulates: light obscuration and microscopic assay. Both are […]
