Cherwell Laboratories now distributes DataTrace, a self-contained, high-precision data logger designed to minimise downtime in critical manufacturing, quality control and validation applications.
Since no wiring is required, DataTrace probes can be readily used to measure temperature, humidity and pressure directly inside an autoclave for validation with full 21CFR11 compliance and minimal production downtime.
Traditional autoclave validation involves the complicated and time consuming task of introducing many thermocouple wires into an autoclave chamber.
Such thermocouples also require qualification before and after use to identify any offset.
As a wireless device, DataTrace offers many benefits.
Its probes are quick and easy to place within the autoclave load, either within the product or just located within the chamber.
As DataTrace uses thermistor and RTD technology temperature probes, rather than thermocouples, pre and post verification is not necessary.
Both of these factors mean that full load mapping and autoclave validation can be completed far quicker than via traditional thermocouples, so minimising downtime.
With a broad range of models to choose from, DataTrace makes it easy to monitor critical processes in a variety of different industries and products.
An example of a DataTrace product is the MicroPack III loggers, which can withstand temperatures of 140C and even higher if placed inside a Thermal Pack.
The MPRF real time wireless loggers have the added benefit of displaying real-time data during a cycle, even within an autoclave chamber.
