Pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical manufacturing and drug research demand the highest standards of measurement accuracy and traceability. Gas monitoring plays a key role in fermentation, lyophilization, sterility testing, and analytical method development — where even small deviations can impact product quality and regulatory compliance.

Why RITTER Technology Matters

Traceable Volumetric Gas Measurement

RITTER Drum-type Gas Meters and MGC units deliver the measurement certainty required in regulated environments — for:

  • Absolute, drift-free volumetric measurement of bioreactor off-gases
  • Fermentation process monitoring and CO₂ evolution tracking
  • Sterility testing gas supply verification
  • Calibration reference for pharmaceutical production flow systems

Analytical Gas Detection via »MultiGas« Systems (NDIR/NDUV)

RITTER »MultiGas« tabletop analyzers support pharmaceutical research with high-sensitivity detection of:

  • CO₂
  • O₂
  • N₂O
  • NH₃ (depending on module)
RITTER supplies the laboratory equipment and Wi.Tec the sensor technology, combined to create exclusive RITTER »MultiGas« solutions.

Typical Applications

  • Bioreactor and fermentation off-gas analysis
  • Cell culture CO₂ and O₂ monitoring
  • Lyophilization chamber atmosphere characterization
  • Inhalation drug development — gas dosimetry studies
  • Cleanroom gas purity and contamination testing
  • Analytical method validation (GMP-compatible documentation)

Impact for Pharmaceutical Labs & Production

✔ GMP-compatible, traceable measurement documentation
✔ Reliable data for bioprocess optimization and scale-up
✔ High sensitivity for trace gas detection in controlled environments
✔ Low maintenance — minimizing risk of production interruption
✔ Proven instruments trusted in cGMP-regulated facilities worldwide
