PharmSpec Software works with the HIAC 9703+ liquid particle counter system to test parenteral products for sub-visible particle content using light obscuration in accordance with USP<787>, <788> and EP 2.9.19. Flexible calibration at multiple flow rates improves ease of sampling for varying sample viscosities and volumes. Ease of use and data integrity are prioritized in PharmSpec with features such as login credentials controlled by Microsoft Active Directory, multi-level user rights, automated pass/fail compendial reporting, comprehensive audit trail, and auto-flush routines for improved walkaway operation. In addition to the built-in compendial test routines, user-defined SOPs can be programmed into the counter using PharmSpec Software’s Procedure Builder.

Our new MET ONE 3400+ Series Portable Airborne Particle Counter allows users to load their routine environmental monitoring SOP sampling map and sampling configuration for each location directly into the counter, so that the SOP becomes an interactive sampling map directly on

Our new MET ONE 3400+ Series Portable Airborne Particle Counter allows users to load their routine environmental monitoring SOP sampling map and sampling configuration for each location directly into the counter, so that the SOP becomes an interactive sampling map directly on the counter screen to guide users doing daily sampling. This helps reduce training requirements and sampling data errors/omissions.

Accessed remotely via a web browser, features such as review/approve workflow, SOP version control and electronic record export are all in the counter – there’s no external software needed. Secure on-board searchable/filterable Audit Trail provides fast reporting during audits combined with Microsoft Active Directory for User Name and Password control for log-on and electronic signatures to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Using a web-browser interface, load your SOP map into the counter, mark sample locations, and define SOP sampling requirements for each.

Onscreen instructions help operators navigate your map and perform sampling according to the SOP. Location names turn green after sampling, making it easy to track progress at a glance.

The MET ONE 3400+ can provide electronic records straight from the counter via USB, wired Ethernet or built-in WiFi.

The Multisizer 4e particle sizer and counter is the most accurate and flexible particle characterization device available, boasting an unparalleled sizing range of 0.2 - 1600 μm. The new 10 μm Aperture allows users to study sub-cellular and micro-particles as small as 200 nm, while the advanced noise reduction system for small apertures improves measurement accuracy.

Generated data are processed using patented digital pulse processing technology and can be saved and later re-analyzed. This technology provides ultra high resolution and accuracy unattainable through any other technologies: detection of 1 particle in 1 ml of a sample with the optimal instrument configuration. Analysis results are not dependent on particle shape, structure, or optical properties.

It uses the Coulter principle to detect particles via electrical zone sensing, regardless of the particle’s nature or optical properties. This makes it an ideal tool for detecting and counting a wide variety of particles, such as:

• Mammalian cells
• Bacteria
• Yeast
• Abrasives
• Toner particles
• Cell aggregates
• Spheroids
• Large protein aggregates

• Aperture sizes from 10 µm - 2000 µm in diameter for current & future needs
• Multiple aperture options & data overlay capability for analyzing complex samples over wide particle size distribution

• Analyze materials in aqueous or non-aqueous solvents
• Ideal for biological or non-biological samples
• Detect particles regardless of material type or optical properties

• Typical sampling rates up to 10,000 counts per second
• Detect & count particles from 0.2 µm - 1600 µm in diameter
• Sample volumes as small as 5 mL

• Digital pulse data can be stored & re-analyzed as needed
• CFR 21 Part 11 compliant software for audit control & security
• Variety of calibration beads & V-check validation controls
