Calorimeter
Deutsch: Kalorimeter / Español: calorímetro / Português: calorímetro / Français: calorimètre / Italian: calorimetro
Calorimeter in the context of quality management refers to an instrument used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical reaction, physical change, or heat capacity. In quality management, a calorimeter is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of temperature-related measurements and processes, which are often critical for maintaining product quality and safety.
Acetylsalicylic acid
Deutsch: Acetylsalicylsäure / Español: Ácido acetilsalicílico / Português: Ácido acetilsalicílico / Français: Acide acétylsalicylique / Italiano: Acido acetilsalicilico
Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), commonly known as aspirin, is a widely used medication in the pharmaceutical industry known for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. In the context of quality management, acetylsalicylic acid is significant for ensuring consistent production quality, regulatory compliance, and patient safety.
Spectrometry
Deutsch: Spektrometrie / Español: Espectrometría / Português: Espectrometria / Français: Spectrométrie / Italiano: Spettrometria /
Ion-mobility spectrometry is an analytical technique used to separate and identify ionized molecules in the gas phase based on their ion mobility in a carrier buffer gas.
Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles.
Crystallisation
Deutsch: Kristallisation / Español: Cristalización / Português: Cristalização / Français: Cristallisation / Italiano: Cristallizzazione
Crystallisation is a fundamental process in quality management, particularly in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemical manufacturing. This process involves the formation of solid crystals from a homogeneous solution, which is crucial for producing high-purity and high-quality products. The precise control of crystallisation parameters ensures consistency and reliability in the final product.
