A smart solution for monitoring and detecting gas in the pharmaceutical industry

Sensitron's SMART 3G series of gas detectors are widely used in many applications, enabling timely and accurate detection even in harsh environments that are ubiquitous to pharmaceutical production. This industry includes the research, development, production, and marketing of drugs and medicines, contributing to the prevention and management of various medical conditions. Gas hazards are present in many processes, including the manufacturing, research and storage phases.

All product processing is done in the production phase until the end product is packaged. These processes require strict environmental control, including temperature, humidity, air quality, and pressure, to prevent contamination and ensure optimal conditions. Sensitron's SMART 3G series of gas detectors, such as the SMART 3G D2, monitor the presence of hazardous gases in the environment to provide early warning of potential leaks or dangerous concentrations.

Similarly, within a research environment such as a clean room, a sterile and controlled environment in which standards of control and cleanliness are particularly stringent, a gas detector such as the SMART 3G C3 can monitor the correct levels of gas in the air and keep an eye on the concentration of carbon dioxide. In the pharmaceutical industry, product storage, and warehousing are key issues requiring dedicated environments to prevent fire, explosion, or unwanted chemical reactions. Some chemicals may release toxic, flammable or explosive gases or vapours in these areas, while others may require refrigerators or temperature-controlled cells. A gas detector such as the SMART 3G C2 can monitor the potential accumulation of hazardous gases and alert in the event of leaks from refrigeration systems.

To meet the diverse environmental needs and requirements of industries, including pharmaceuticals, the SMART 3G C2, SMART 3G D2 and SMART 3G C2-LD series detectors are ATEX Category 2 certified for Zone 1. In contrast, the SMART 3G C3 and SMART 3G D3 detectors are ATEX Category 3 certified for Zone 2.
