How to choose a clarity tester for visible particle inspection

A clarity tester provides a controlled light level so that inspectors can check injections, infusions and other bottled liquids for visible particles. The SC-4000A from Huanghai Pharmaceutical Instruments (Shanghai, since 1978) provides up to 4,000 lx, covering the 2,000–3,750 lx range used for visual inspection under ChP 0904, USP <790>/<1790> and Ph. Eur. 2.9.20.

How to choose

  • Light level: check the illumination your monograph specifies for the container and product type; the SC-4000A reaches 4,000 lx.
  • Samples: designed for visual inspection of injections, infusions and bottled liquids.
  • Method: the instrument controls the light; the inspection itself is visual, so pair it with trained inspectors and your defect standards.
