4 Pharmaceutical Qualification and Validation Anton Paar understands your need for completely traceable results and supports you with a qualification and validation package following the 4Q model which fulfills the requirements of the Pharmaceutical Industry : GMP, 21 CFR Part 11, GAMP5, USP<1058>. This package aids you in achieving and maintaining the qualified status of your instrument. For the Pharmaceutical , biotechnological, cosmetics and food industries. For defined instruments Anton Paar offers an instrument- specific qualification and validation package to meet the strict Pharmaceutical regulations. This package covers all steps to perform a complete instrument qualification: DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ. Risk Analysis 21 CFR Part 11 checklist Deviation List Traceabilty Matrix SOP.

5 Certified Anton Paar representatives assist in the whole process if required. For all Industry segments. After Anton Paar's documented qualified instrument installation, your in-house qualification officer can easily integrate the instrument into your process and create the complete qualification and validation documentation. For all Industry segments. Delivery and installation of the instrument. Anton Paar's instruments are thoroughly tested and calibrated according to official guidelines, such as ASTM, T V, CE, etc. Embedded into Anton Paar's ISO system are the guidelines for preparing an instrument-specific pharma qualification and validation package. 5. Anton Paar's Certified Service provides the right service level for you: AllInclusive StandardPlus Standard Service and Support Anton Paar accompanies you with certified service throughout the whole life cycle of your instrument.

6 Depending on your needs choose from Anton Paar's specially designed service programs: To keep your results on-spec To ensure the instrument's long working life To profit from trained and qualified Anton Paar service engineers To ensure use of certified test equipment for the highest level of accuracy Comprehensive Service for Lifelong Reliable Operation Anton Paar's certified service provides: Preventive maintenance Regular maintenance Unplanned maintenance in emergency situations Depending on the service level agreement, you benefit from: Calibration and adjustment checks Electrical safety checks according to standards Electrical and mechanical alignments Firmware and software upgrades Spare parts service Depot repair service Loaner instruments Additionally Anton Paar supports you during the qualification and validation process, during requalification of the instrument and during the retrospective qualification if an older instrument needs to be qualified.

7 Anton Paar's documented service proves that your instrument has been checked to the highest standards. This meets your need for monitored quality for inspections and audits. For repair and emergency cases Anton Paar provides phone support and clearly specified short reaction times. For detailed information on Anton Paar's Certified Service, refer to or email 7. Instrument Qualification and Instrument Re-qualification To achieve and to further maintain the qualified status of your instrument, Anton Paar supports you with a Pharma Qualification and Validation Package for defined instruments. This shortens the time until the instrument can be used in your production process and saves you money and time during the implementation process. The 4Q Model DQ Design Qualification Design and quality criteria are defined.

8 A qualification plan and risk analysis are the start of a risk-based qualification instruction and procedure. IQ Installation Qualification This ensures that the instrument fits the specifications. Defined test points assure the correct and quick installation and availability of the instrument. OQ Operational Qualification This ensures that the instrument operates as specified. OQ covers all the defined operational test points, including: Adjustment Calibration Customer reference sample 21 CFR Part 11 Check List User SOP. These points make sure that the instrument works as specified in the defined environment. PQ Performance Qualification This ensures that the instrument works under routine conditions within the defined specification. With Anton Paar's Pharma Qualification and Validation Package you are prepared for inspections.

9 It is the correct and approved procedure for a validated instrument used in the production cycle. Anton Paar offers: A range of instruments which provide complete conformity and traceability via: A complete user management system Audit trail functionality GMP-compliant printouts and reports 21 CFR Part 11 Check List Electronic signature 6. Density & Concentration Measurement Density measurement is used to characterize binary mixtures and provide density and concentration results. A combined density and sound velocity meter accurately determines the concentration of tertiary mixtures. Due to their robust design, Anton Paar density meters are very popular at manufacturing sites, R&D and quality control laboratories. They provide quick and accurate measurement results to ensure the right density and concentration values of solved Pharmaceutical material during production and in the final product.

10 Portable and benchtop density meters for concentration measurements The first-ever digital density meter was launched by Anton Paar. These DMA. density meters have been continuously developed, resulting in highly reliable, repeatable and accurate density instruments with the following benefits: Measurement of liquid samples of any viscosity Investigation in the lab or quick checks directly at the sampling location Small sample volume of approx. 1 mL. Non-destructive measurements Drift-compensated measurement at different temperatures Fast viscosity correction across the samples' entire range Filling errors detected automatically to guarantee reliable results and save time Only one adjustment at one temperature required Automatic sample changer for up to 96 samples High degree of modularity (Modulyzer systems providing density values with turbidity and refractive index values).
