ConsiGma®
ConsiGma® PAT Test Rig
This standalone module allows you to start developing your PAT models for a pharmaceutical continuous manufacturing process offline during the early stages of R&D.
LightHouse Probe®
In a continuous manufacturing process, process analytical technology (PAT) tools are often used as an integral part of the control strategy. Model development can, however, be time-consuming.
The ConsiGma® PAT test rig allows customers to start PAT model development offline, long before the entire plant is installed, in a set-up similar to the production environment.
Standard Configuration
- Material hopper
- Powder Dosing Valve (PDV)
- Manual Lighthouse Probe®
Available Options
NIR probe and spectrometer
Main Benefits
- Offline development of PAT method
- Minimal powder required
- Identical probe used in R&D and production
