Press Release Body: (23 April 2008) - Analytical Technology Inc. (ATi) announces
that its
Q45H/64 Dissolved Ozone Monitor enables continuous on-line monitoring and
control of ozone systems in the pharmaceutical industry. The Q45H/64 Monitor
from ATi helps pharmaceutical organizations to achieve compliance with
regulatory frameworks in the UK and internationally.

Ozone is commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry for the disinfection
of pharmaceutical grade water, which is present in process systems such as
washers, autoclaves or secondary water purification systems. US Pharmacopeia
regulations dictate that pharmaceutical grade water must be validated to
demonstrate that it meets certain requirements for ionic and organic
chemical purity and must be protected from microbial contamination. Ozone is
used for microbial disinfection purposes during the sanitisation of
pharmaceutical grade water production in order to disinfect the water
network prior to distillation. It is essential to measure the levels of
dissolved ozone at various points in the process to ensure that adequate
ozone concentrations are present during sanitisation and to ensure that
there is no residual ozone at the point of use.

ATi has developed the Q45H/64 Dissolved Ozone Monitor in order to provide
reliable and accurate on-line monitoring and control of ozone systems. The
Q45H/64 monitor has been designed and proven to meet a variety of
applications and is capable of measuring dissolved ozone concentrations as
low as 0-200ppb full scale down to 5ppb. While providing the sensitivity
needed for demanding applications such as pharmaceutical grade water or
semiconductor wash water, this technique can also accommodate high-range
applications requiring 0-20 or 0-200ppm.

One important feature of the Q45H/64 is that it can be calibrated using a
fully traceable, International Ozone Association approved method. Using a
colorimeter and indigo dye reagents it is possible for users to carry out on
site, in-situ calibrations.

Unlike traditional on-line colorimetric and most amperometric methods, the
innovative Q45H/64 Monitor uses a highly selective, membrane-covered
polarographic sensor that does not require the addition of chemical
reagents. Dissolved ozone readings are easily achieved without measurement
interference from other sample components such as residual chlorine. The
need for maintenance is greatly reduced as the technology does not require
the use of moving parts, meaning that there are no tubing breaks or pumps
and motors that burn out. The technology has been designed with the
flexibility to enable optional dual measurement capability and provides both
dissolved ozone and pH analogue outputs.
