Continuous Microbial Monitoring For Process Water

Real time microbial monitoring for process water builds
quality and production levels.

Monitoring process water microbial counts in the pharmaceutical industry has traditionally been a time consuming, hands-on operation. Sample preparation, plate counting, stains, reagents, and the time required to get results has kept microbial monitoring a cumbersome task that provides only snapshots of the process water quality at the time of sampling.

The Thornton Model 7000RMS from Mettler Toledo, a continuous on-line microbial monitoring system for purified water and water for injection, uses advanced laser based technology to provide immediate detection and quantification of microorganisms. Particles as small as .52 microns can be detected, and the monitor uses recent advancements in spectroscopic technology to differentiate between microbial and inert particles.

The 7000RMS puts on-line analytics for microbial contamination on the same timeline as TOC and conductivity, with all three critical aspects now subject to real time measurement.

The offers a white paper with a more detailed view of the system functions and the technology behind it. Additional product and application information is available. Share your water analysis and process analytic challenges with application experts, leveraging your own knowledge and experience with their product application expertise.
