New generation meters

Analysis


The Humicap HM70 hand-held humidity and temperature meter represents the latest generation of Vaisala hand-held indicators. It is said to be a user-friendly meter for spot checks on industrial applications and on -site calibrations of fixed instruments such as the HMP230 transmitters. The meter measures relative humidity and temperature and also outputs dewpoint and wet bulb temperature as calculated variables, mixing ratio and absolute humidity. The HM70 also supports the use of Vaisala's dewpoint and carbon dioxide probes, allowing measurements in multiparameter applications such as greenhouse monitoring, health inspection, incubators and control measurements in building automation. With the chemical purge option, measurement accuracy is also maintained in environments with high concentrations of chemicals. If the probe is inserted into hot and humid processes the sensor preheat option reduces measurement delays by keeping the sensor dry.

  4. Microbiology: failings and best practice Microbiological issues in pharmaceutical plants can result in plant shutdowns and products withdrawn from the market. Failures are common in environmental monitoring, media fill, sterilisation, aseptic practice and gowning. Introducing lean practices can determine optimal batch size and lead to a decreased number of test sessions for bioburden, endotoxins and sterility testing, while taking a risk-based approach to determining objectionable micro-organisms may ease the cost and burden of unnecessary testing but requires a better understanding of the processes and risks involved.
