Water for Pharmaceutical use
AQU@Sense MB. Online Water Bioburden Analyzer.
Water is indispensable for pharmaceutical production processes. Water is omnipresent as raw material or as part of the final manufactured product. Therefore, hygienic quality is crucial for human health. Take control of the microbiological quality of your pharmaceutical water supplies with the AQU@Sense MB, the first alternative method for online bioburden analysis that was successfully validated.
​
Validation is the key for new technologies to be accepted in pharmaceutical manufacturing. bNovate and BWT achieved the primary validation as the first step in the overall validation process. Proving that AQU@Sense MB is suitable for monitoring pharmaceutical water purification processes and, depending on the application, it can even be used for release testing.
​
Results are delivered within minutes instead of days, which allows you to react rapidly in case of contamination and to save money with maximizing your instrument uptime and production workflows. This rapid microbiological method (RMM) is a new standard for microbial surveillance and can be validated according to the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur.) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
