Residues
Disinfectants and sporicides are essential for controlling microbial contamination in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and medical device industries. However, repeated use over time can lead to deposits on disinfected surfaces. These residues may be problematic in terms of appearance, s…
The program for the professional conference taking place on September 17 and 18, 2014, in Hamburg on the Cap San Diego is finalized. Ten lectures by qualified speakers will address topics such as the new Biological Substances Ordinance (BioStoffV) and the resulting requirements for planners, operato…
Many laboratories are using Automatic Particle Counters to determine the solid contamination within their fluid samples. In most cases, standard sample systems are sufficient for everyday laboratory measurements. Difficulties arise when a high quantity of samples are required daily. Standard systems…
