Mettler-Toledo Thornton announces the availability of certified sanitary conductivity sensors which meet USP "88" Class VI requirements for polymeric wetted materials. This includes both 2-electrode and 4-electrode sensors suitable for pharmaceutical water, CIP (clean-in-place), and other pharmaceutical water monitoring requirements.

The statement citing USP (88) In Vivo Biological Reactivity Tests, Class VI compliance confirms that the polymeric materials used in these sensors have been tested and proven not to leach any traces of harmful materials. It is one of the most stringent material requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia and is required in many pharmaceutical installations. Wetted polymeric materials include PEEK and Viton® in various sensor models.

Mettler-Toledo Thornton provides on-line instrumentation for liquid analysis of conductivity, resistivity, pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, dissolved ozone, total organic carbon, plus temperature, flowrate, level and pressure.
