TrackSense Pro XL Data Logger

Environmental test chambers are suitable for numerous applications: product shelf life, stability and package testing, light exposure and temperature evaluation studies, electronic component burn-in, plant growth, and many more.

They feature precise control of parameters such as temperature and relative humidity.

Ethylene Oxide Sterilization is a low-temperature process used in the pharmaceutical and medical industries to reduce the levels of infectious agents. This process is preferred for products that cannot withstand the heat of typical autoclave sterilization. Critical parameters include temperature, humidity and pressure levels.

Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilization is a low-pressure, low-temperature, nontoxic process used in the pharmaceutical and medical industries to reduce the levels of infectious agents. This process is preferred for products that either cannot withstand the heat of typical autoclave sterilization or that have diffusion-restricted spaces such as low lumen medical devices.

Critical parameters include pressure/vacuum, delivered RF energy, H2O2 concentration and temperature. Humidity may also be measured.

In microbiology an incubator is a device for controlling temperature, humidity, and other conditions under which a microbiological culture is being grown.

More advanced incubators may have the ability to lower the temperature (via refrigeration), and/or the ability to control humidity or CO2 levels. This feature is specifically designed for cell growth.

Stability Chambers in the pharmaceutical and medical industries rely heavily on validating critical temperature and humidity parameters in order to accurately measure the effect of these variables on individual drug products. This can help establish vital product degradation information.

Autoclaves in the pharmaceutical and medical industries must comply with established standards and norms (EN 285 and ISO 17665) to ensure that their process continues to provide safe and sterile results.

In order to do so, autoclaves require periodic qualification and validation to prove that they can sterilize within their qualified parameters.

Cold Storage is used to avoid further biological activity such as decay in food and medical products. The critical parameter during storage is temperature, but often humidity is also monitored for dry conditions.

Tunnel Pasteurizers are used in the food industry for heat treatment of products such as beer, soft drinks and acid preserves (fruits, acidified vegetables or pickles) etc. that are kept in closed bottles or cans. Precise water temperatures must be reached to gradually heat the product in the bottle or can to pasteurization temperature, as well as to cool it down afterwards.

Retort Sterilization in the food industry refers to any closed vessel or other equipment used for the thermal processing of foods. Typically, the sterilization temperatures vary from 110 to 135°C.

Both static and rotary steam/air retorts, and water immersion/cascade/spray retorts require temperature validation.

Smoke houses are used for heat treatment and to add flavour, colour, and aroma to various food products, including pork, beef, sausages, poultry, fish and cheese.

Chamber temperature, product temperature, relative humidity (RH%) and calculation of Po-values are critical parameters for smoke house processing in both batch and continuous smoke house systems.
