Water Quality for Pharma and Life Sciences

Start-to-Finish Confidence for the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences Industry

Ensuring a safe and sterile product is critical regardless of process stage or end application. Through proper monitoring and treatment from the start, you can ensure your quality standards are met at each stage of the process. Real-time analysis during intake can improve process efficiency and quickly determine changes to be made to the incoming water quality and conditioning, filtration effectiveness and microbiological quality.

Manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical and the life sciences industries (small molecules, biologics, medicinal products and medical devices) can require a substantial amount of water. Various water types and testing variables (pH, conductivity, TOC, etc.) make water a more complicated component than one might think.

Hach^® provides you the tools to generate accurate, consistent parameter measurements without production interruptions.

Process Overview

Water Recycling

Source Monitoring	Pre-Production	Production	Post-Production
Inlet monitoring	Softening Pretreatment Sanitization	Steam cycle Purified water Water for injection Process/production water	Municipal wastewater Disinfection

Quality Control Laboratory (QA, QC, GMP Labs) Research and Development Laboratory
The incoming water is analyzed to protect the production water preparation unit.	The incoming water is purified to remove unwanted (dissolved) particles and reduce biohazard.	The purified water parameters are adjusted to the final use needs.	The wastewater is treated to conform to the local regulations.
