Bio/Pharmaceutical

The Biopharmaceutical Industry is growing rapidly as a means of producing high quality drugs from biotechnology. The large majority of biopharmaceutical products are derived from life forms such as proteins. This industry, controlled by the FDA, must adhere to strict regulations when manufacturing their product.

Biotech equipment providers must focus on closely monitoring the temperature of the manufacturing environment to validate temperature uniformity. This is often a critical component in the manufacturing process of these sensitive biopharmaceuticals. Samples must be closely monitored during the process to validate the temperatures, whether it involves freezing the sample or heating it to very high temperatures. The readings must be precise and they must be consistent.

Because this industry is heavily regulated, it is also important that this process be completely automated and that the results can be logged and easily maintained. Accountability and repeatability are key.

TEMPpoint offers an excellent solution for highly accurate temperature measurement applications such as those necessary for the testing and production of biopharmaceuticals. Up to 48 direct thermocouple, RTD, or precision voltage measurements can be taken simultaneously with 24-bit resolution. These values can then be viewed, graphed, or exported to Excel, and allow limit checking for control or monitoring of the manufacturing process. Ethernet versions are also available to allow for remote measurements.
