In order to be used in the pharmaceutical industry, balances must meet a number of requirements. The most important are:

·      weighing precision

·      measurement safety

·      compliance with regulations: 21 CFR Part 11, GMP, GLP and USP

·      compatibility with external software (LIMS, WERUM)

·      ensuring data integrity

·      guaranteed cost optimisation.

The best weighing precision is guaranteed especially by those balances with the readability of 0.1 µg.

By measurement safety we mean regularly conducted routine tests, because this is what ensures the weighing accuracy. Best of all, you don't have to remember when your next tests are due - instead, you can program the balance to remind you.

The 21 CFR Part 11, GMP, GLP and USP regulations are formal requirements that balances must meet to be approved for use in the pharmaceutical industry.

External software such as LIMS or WERUM is dedicated to laboratory processes and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This means that the measuring instruments used in these environments are compatible with this software.

Data integrity is ensured by the large selection of easily accessible databases that balances used in the pharmaceutical industry must have.

And last but not least - money. The economic aspect is crucial for any pharmaceutical company. This type of company may weigh a few hundred samples a day, so balances allowing to cut one sample cost in a larger scale (100, 500 and 1 000 samples; month, quarter and year) will provide a real profit.

In the case of RADWAG balances, we can place a plus next to each of these features, which is why our products are so eagerly chosen by pharmaceutical companies. Below we present a selection of companies from all around the world that effectively operate in the pharmaceutical industry and with which we have the honour to cooperate, right next to the weighing instruments manufactured by RADWAG they use.
