MBP - Brian Hagopian - Clear Water Consulting - Part 2 Sampling & Monitoring

In part 2 of our water series with Brian Hagopian we discuss sampling and monitoring of pure water systems.  Understanding what is and isn't in your pure water system is critical to ensuring the safety and efficacy of your product. Brian has been a part of defining many of these rules over the decades. He was a member of the team that wrote the ISPE Good Practice Guide: Sampling Pharma Water, Steam, and Gas Processes. Here are some of the things we covered in this episode: What has sampling and monitoring looked like in pure water treatment over the years?  What are the major types of constituents we sample and monitor for in a Pure Water system?  How are these prioritized in a Pharma system?  Why do we have to sample all over a pharma system? Why can’t we just measure like we do conductivity at supply and/or returns of a loop?  How do you decided to use an analyzer vs sampling of various constituents?   Want to watch this episode?
