  • Apollo MxFE is a new wideband mixed-signal front end platform offering instantaneous bandwidths as high as 10 GHz per channel while directly sampling and synthesizing frequencies up to 18 GHz (Ku Band).

  • We want your product to move through the regulatory process, gaining approvals and ultimately helping patients. Using our industry leading knowledge and skills, we will meet you where you are – gaining approval: for the first in human trials, in development, at scientific advice, at the end of phase 2, or post approval. At every level, our scientific expertise and in-depth knowledge of therapeutic backgrounds have guided every client we have to a successful outcome.

  • Anritsu's aerosol checkweigher is engineered for accurate weighing of aerosol cans in pharmaceutical applications. It features a star wheel mechanism that feeds cans onto the weigh table at a constant speed and with uniform spacing. This design, combined with a high precision electromagnetic weigh cell, ensures a throughput of up to 150 cans per minute, with a weighing accuracy of ± 10 mg. The checkweigher has a compact footprint, integrating within the same frame a reject mechanism and confirmation function, ensuring that only correctly weighed products pass through. Underweight and overweight cans are automatically directed into two separate bins located beneath the weigh table. The system is compliant with federal regulation 21 CFR Part 11 for the integrity of electronic records and signatures, with features such as password authentication, audit trail of operation data, and encryption/decryption of exported data.

ABOUT

Instrumentation
The science of measuring and controlling variables is termed instrumentation. As the name suggests, the process involves using a wide variety of instruments. These are classified as any device that can measure amounts that are physically quantifiable. These instruments do not have to be extremely complex in design. For example, the ruler is an instrument to measure distance, and a simple thermometer measures temperature.
Instruments specific to petrochemical processing include platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD’s), P/I Converters, many types of level meters, chromatographs, and continuous gas analyzers. These instruments are essential to the day to day instrumentation at petrochemical plants, as it is impossible to gauge to the necessary extent by estimation alone. Human error is inevitable, but an instrument can easily be calibrated or replaced.
Now that you understand the definition of and tools used in instrumentation, you should also understand the necessity of it. Temperature and pressure meters serve to ensure that the environment stays safe for both the chemicals being processed and the employees of the plant. Heat is a very well-documented activator in chemical reactions. If the temperature rises to unusual levels, this could spark an undesired chemical reaction that could prove catastrophic. The flow meter must measure how much oil is leaving the refinery, as it is a very volatile substance. Analytical instruments, such as the chromatograph, analyze the chemical make-up of the refined oil. This allows for the opportunity to make sure that the chemical make-up is correct, giving evidence that the process was correctly completed at all stages of refinement.
