— Moves in-process water testing from lab bench to the water loop.

 

— Robust system – consistent hands-free endotoxin testing.

 

— User-defined testing schedule – results when you need them.

 

— Endotoxin results prior to production reduce risk.

 

—WinKQCL® software allows centralized data; exporting to LIMS.

 

 

 

 

PyroSense® automatically monitors endotoxin levels in water for injection and high purity water systems used in the manufacture of  injectable  drugs,  medical  devices,  and  other  therapeutic products. It allows you to detect the presence of Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin at an early stage in the process rather than risk costly product rejects. This advanced and innovative detection system addresses FDA’s Process Analytical Technology initiative aimed  at  improving  the  current  level  of  quality  assurance  for products manufactured by the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.
