Water is one of the major utilities used by the pharmaceutical industry. It may be present as an excipient or used for reconstitution of products, during synthesis, during production of the finished product or as a cleaning agent for rinsing vessels, equipment, primary packaging materials, etc. Different grades of water quality are required depending on the different pharmaceutical uses. Control of the quality of water, in particular the microbiological quality, is a major concern and the pharmaceutical industry devotes considerable resource to the development and maintenance of water purification systems. Pharma regulators provide quality standards for the below mentioned grades of water:
- Water for Injections is water for the preparation of medicines for parenteral administration when water is used as a vehicle and for dissolving or diluting substances or preparations for parenteral administration.
- Purified Water is water for the preparation of medicines other than those that are required to be both sterile and apyrogenic.
- Water for preparation of extracts is water intended for the preparation of drug extracts.
Our Water Quality Monitoring solution rightly addresses the quality requirements of water to be used for all the above-mentioned cases in the pharma sector.
