Identifying contamination
Identifying contamination

Identifying contamination and its source in pure waters is a challenge for many pharmaceuticals producers. As pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies strive to achieve more efficient operations and respond proactively to excursions in their production, they are looking for analyzers that can provide detailed information on their pharmaceutical water conditions.

A leading biotechnology manufacturer observed periodic bioburden excursions in its water and was not able to consistently control the water quality in its plant. Even with daily sanitization they could not maintain the required water quality, which lead to a number of bioburden issues that impacted production. The plant could not identify the cause of contamination with the traditional plate counting method and started looking for another technology.

Read in the case study how METTLER TOLEDO offered the biotechnology company the on-line 7000RMS Microbial Detection Analyzer, which provides real-time data to allow root cause analysis.
 

The 7000RMS Microbial Detection Analyzer from METTLER TOLEDO is used for real-time monitoring and identification of microbial contamination in pharmaceutical and biotechnology company water loops. The analyzer provides results every two seconds to help improve process control and production efficiency. Continuous monitoring eliminates waiting for results – minimizing risk and reducing costs.

The real-time measurement capability of the analyzer allows the user to effectively control their process and identify root causes of bioburden issues. When used as a process control tool, the 7000RMS can identify the source of contamination and proactively resolve issues that are difficult to diagnose using plate counting methods.
