UniCond ISM sensor calibrator meets Pharmacopeia calibration requirements

Published: 2-Oct-2012

The USP, EP and all other Pharmacopoeias set strict guidelines for water quality and test equipment used in pharmaceutical manufacturing

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopeia (EP) and all other Pharmacopoeias set strict guidelines for water quality and test equipment used in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Conductivity is one of the most effective methods of detecting ionic contamination and ensuring water quality in a pharmaceutical water system. As a result, the ability accurately to detect low levels of ionic contamination is critical for consistent production of pharmaceutical waters.

Therefore, conductivity instruments must have the ability to accurately and repeatedly detect very small changes in conductivity. Periodic calibration of conductivity sensors is vital to measurement accuracy and is required by global Pharmacopeias.
