Trace gas and isotope analysis is becoming increasing important in the pharmaceutical industry where use of analytical technology is crucial to ensuring product quality. Stringent product purity and cleanliness requirements throughout the API manufacturing process place extreme demands upon the precision and sensitivity of analyzers. The incredible sensitivity of Picarro Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy analyzers delivers the performance needed to measure minute traces of residual gases and small variations in isotopic composition of incoming material in a robust compact package.
Increasingly biotech drug manufacturers are relying on vaporous hydrogen peroxide as a tool to sterilize sensitive production environments. Three of the five largest biotech pharmaceutical manufacturers are using Picarro analyzers to analyze trace gas levels of hydrogen peroxide inside their production systems and to better optimize yields and reduce turnaround times on production batches. Picarro CRDS is a proven and powerful technology for pharmaceutical process applications.
