GasSens monitor for pharmaceutical market
Specialist electrochemical sensor manufacturer Analytical Technology Inc. has announced that its GasSens monitor enables safe and efficient continuous on-line monitoring and control of gas detection in the pharmaceutical industry, complementing its existing range of water and gas instrumentation.
GasSens is a flexible component system providing a variety of options to meet individual gas detection and alarm requirements, capable of detecting over 30 different gases. Economical and low maintenance, this system offers the best choice for reliable leak detection in the pharmaceutical industry.
Analytical Technology is the de facto company for chlorine monitoring in water, and the recent introduction of the GasSens monitor to the UK market complements the company’s existing portfolio of water and gas instrumentation. The device enables companies to achieve the stringent levels of compliance demanded by the regulatory frameworks governing the pharmaceutical industry in the UK and across the world.
Gas leak detection is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. Many pharmaceutical processes require the use of potentially toxic gases, key amongst them is ozone, and certain manufacturing processes may generate hazardous gases as a by-product. These hazards can be managed through careful equipment maintenance and regular monitoring for early signs of leakage.
In the pharmaceutical industry, the GasSens system can be applied to the simplest or most complex gas detection application, with Analytical Technology’s expertise in electrochemistry and sensor design providing the foundation for leak detection systems that perform continuously with minimal maintenance.
An important feature of the GasSens is that receiver modules provide an interface between detection system and external alarming and data logging requirements. Each compact module includes a digital display of gas concentration, isolated analogue output, and four relay outputs. Receivers can be located up to 1000 feet from sensor/transmitters for remote indication, and the GasSens detection systems employ specialist electrochemical sensors developed by Analytical Technology, consisting of individual modules that can be located where required.
Sensors and transmitters, located in the area where gas leakage or build-up might occur, provide the basic measurement for the system.
