56 Full 21 CFR Part 11 compliance with the most advanced rotational viscometer


Ensuring that there is enough time is a challenge in an industry as tightly regulated as the pharmaceutical industry. Cost-effective compliance and traceability must also be strictly adhered to in order to deliver safe, high-quality products. Anton Paar’s ViscoQC 300 rotational viscometer meets and exceeds stringent standards like the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11, and emphasises unique traceability features whilst also being able to trace and track measurements and instrument performance.


Full compliance in stand-alone mode


Activating the V-Comply software on ViscoQC 300 enables all key features to fulfi ll regulations of 21 CFR Part 11: audit trail (the logbook for each event); user level management and logon settings; electronic signatures with up to three-step signing process; advanced data integrity (no deletion of data, users or methods). Other useful functions include the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) mode, value visibility mode, non-storage mode and more.


The V-Comply also comes with a customised qualifi cation package which goes far beyond simple installation and basic IQ/OQ. A detailed risk analysis, performance qualifi cation, traceability matrix and fi nal qualifi cation report increase the value of the qualifi cation package and the qualifi cation process as a whole for the customer.


Full compliance with lab execution software


The integration with Anton Paar’s own AP Connect software, available as a 21 CFR Part 11 pharma-compliant version, further fortifi es the ViscoQC Rotational Viscometer’s commitment to data integrity. By facilitating paperless data management and transfer from the instrument to a central database, this connectivity minimises the risk of manual errors associated with traditional recordkeeping methods. Real-time data transfer ensures that the information is not only accurate, but also readily available, fostering a proactive approach to quality control.


Full traceability The full strength of such applications in the regulated environment is further enhanced by the ToolmasterTM

Ensure consistent quality of cannabis vaping oils: Measure their viscosity with Anton Paar’s SVM


Viscosity is playing a critical role in assessing the quality of cannabis vaping oils: It directly impacts the amount of heat energy required for vaporisation and can lead to vaporiser clogging if not properly balanced. Therefore, tracking viscosity carefully is crucial, especially when blending CBD oils with carrier liquids such as vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, or medium chain triglyceride oil. The viscosity of the fi nal product is not only infl uenced by the type and concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes, but also by the choice of carrier fl uid. Furthermore, changes in viscosity resulting from product degradation serve as a key parameter for tracking shelf life.


Advanced viscosity analysis with Anton Paar’s SVM 3001 viscometer


Anton Paar’s SVM 3001 viscometer offers a comprehensive solution for obtaining accurate viscosity data for CBD vaping oils. It not only determines dynamic viscosity, but also assesses kinematic viscosity and density in a single measurement, across a temperature range from -60°C to +135°C (down to -20°C without external chiller). Furthermore, the instrument can perform temperature scans to monitor viscosity and density variations effectively. Unlike conventional viscosity methods utilising glass capillaries, which demand constant monitoring, SVM conducts measurements autonomously and can be optionally equipped with an autosampler accommodating up to 71 positions. Moreover, its durable metal measuring cell eliminates the risk of broken glass capillaries, ensuring enhanced reliability, lower costs of consumables and longevity in operation.


SVM streamlines operations, requiring only 1.5 mL of sample and solvent per measurement, leading to a remarkable 150% increase in throughput compared to manual techniques. Control is simplifi ed through an intuitive touchscreen interface, eliminating the dependency on an external PC for sample handling or data storage.

62245pr@reply-direct.com Anton Paar’s measuring system for comprehensive, industry-spanning quality control


In various industries such as fl avour compound production, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and biodiesel manufacturing, the accurate measurement of density and refractive index is crucial for maintaining quality control in numerous processes. However, the growing number of quality parameters to monitor can lead to increased workload and expenses, particularly when using standalone instruments.


FTIR, Transformed:


Anton Paar’s solution addresses this challenge with highly versatile measurement system, offering up to seven combinable modules - making it the most comprehensive solution on the market. The system allows you to integrate various instruments, such as density meters, polarimeters, refractometers, viscometers, a turbidity meter, and sample changers. Regardless of the combination, the measuring system minimises laboratory space requirements. The proximity of measuring cells ensures short measuring times (less than three minutes) and low required sample volumes (1 mL to max. 20 mL, depending on the instrument setup).


Lyza 7000


Operated through a single master instrument, the measuring system simplifi es user experience by consolidating all functions onto one screen. Simultaneous measurement of all parameters in one step results in data saved, printed, or exported as a single dataset. The AP Connect lab execution software enhances accessibility, allowing instant access to your data from any computer within your network. Confi gure automatic exports tailored to your requirements for a swift, error-free transfer of laboratory data into your management system. Anton Paar’s integrated system streamlines processes, ensuring effi ciency and accuracy in quality control across various applications.

Pioneer in non-ambient X-Ray diffraction When we at Anton Paar introduced the HTK 10 High-Temperature Chamber back in 1964, we changed the face of non-ambient X-ray diffraction. The HTK 10 High- Temperature Chamber was capable of heating samples up to 1,600°C in order to study their structural changes by X-ray diffraction during heating.


Easy as 1-2-3: Fast pass/fail spectral analysis Streamline your quality control workflow Quick module swap with seamless auto-detection


Prior to this, non-ambient X-ray diffraction of various materials was mainly done with homemade equipment due to there being no real commercial heating chamber available on the market. This changed when we entered the market 60 years ago. Since then, our knowledge and experience in X-ray diffraction, especially under non-ambient conditions, has accumulated and grown. Such expertise has shaped our current broad portfolio of non-ambient X-ray diffraction attachments for studies between -190°C and +2,300°C under different atmospheres (dry and humid) and pressures, as well as mechanical or electrical loads. Along with this complete portfolio, we also create customised solutions for our customers; something that sets us apart as the market leader in non-ambient XRD.


www.anton-paar.com 60th anniversary celebration


In 2024, we will proudly celebrate our fi rst milestone in the fi eld of X-ray diffraction. As part of the anniversary celebrations, we’re organising the XRD excites: Non-Ambient XRD & Beyond Symposium, a scientifi c meeting with a strong focus on non-ambient X-ray diffraction in Graz, Austria, from 9 to 11 July 2024. In addition, our Anton Paar subsidiaries will be organising regional non-ambient X-ray diffraction workshops. Throughout the anniversary year, we have lots of exciting things planned.
