Anton Paar introduces the new Abbemat pharma refractometer models: accurate and compliant QC in the pharmaceutical industry

Anton Paar’s Abbemat Pharma refractometers are the ideal solution for laboratories in the pharmaceutical industry, delivering precise refractive index (RI) measurements while ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements, e.g. US pharmacopeia <831>. Designed to meet the demands of highly regulated environments, these instruments provide reliable performance, robust data management, and audit-readiness from the outset, making them an indispensable tool for pharmaceutical quality control.

Abbemat Pharma refractometers meet the stringent standards of 21 CFR Part 11, GAMP 5, and EU GMP Vol. 4 Annex 11, ensuring data integrity, security, and traceability.  The AISQ+ qualification package speeds up Pharma qualification by 70%, offering risk analysis, SOPs, and traceability documentation for quick deployment in regulated environments.

The Abbemat Pharma series offers advanced data management capabilities, ensuring secure and traceable workflows. Secure network integration, and comprehensive backup options safeguard critical data, while the secure audit trail documents every interaction, calibration, and measuring result to provide tamper-proof traceability. Advanced user management ensures controlled access with unique IDs, password protection, and electronic signatures, enabling laboratories to meet the strictest data integrity standards.

Designed with the demanding conditions of pharma laboratories in mind, the Abbemat refractometers are robust and durable. The sapphire measuring prism – on which there’s a 25-year warranty – offers superior resistance to scratches and chemical damage, ensuring long-lasting accuracy.

The Abbemat Pharma line features two models designed to cater to various pharmaceutical applications. Abbemat 7001 is optimised for routine quality control in regulated environments, with precise temperature control from 20 to 40°C and an accuracy of ±0.0001 nD. For advanced research or quality control requiring the highest level of precision, Abbemat 7201 offers an extended temperature range from 4 to 105°C, a broader measuring range from 1.26 nD to 1.72 nD, and exceptional accuracy of ±0.00002 nD.

With rapid measurement cycles and seamless integration into laboratory workflows, these instruments support high-throughput environments while maintaining consistent and accurate results. Whether for routine analysis or advanced research, Abbemat Pharma refractometers ensure pharmaceutical manufacturers and laboratories achieve the highest standards of quality and compliance.
