AeroPan for Pharmaceuticals: Reliable Weighing of APIs in Demanding Environments
In pharmaceutical labs even minimal measurement errors can compromise formulation quality, patient safety, or regulatory compliance. Weighing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and highly potent compounds requires utmost control over environmental interferences—especially airflow and turbulence inside balance enclosures or safety cabinets.
AeroPan: Precision Where It Matters Most
Designed to support pharmaceutical production labs, R&D, in-process QC, and analytical weighing, the AeroPan addresses the toughest weighing conditions. Its innovative design reduces the pan surface by over 35%, allowing air to flow through the pan rather than disrupt the weighing process.
Measurable Gains in Challenging Settings:
- 35% faster stabilization in active draft environments
- 60% improvement in reproducibility across repeat weighing
Optimized for API Handling
The AeroPan’s streamlined airflow design makes it especially valuable when handling pharmaceutically active powders inside laminar‑flow or containment enclosures, minimizing turbulence and contamination risks—critical for HPAPI safety and GLP adherence.
Compatible AeroPan Models
AeroPan plates are available for high‑capacity and analytical Precisa balances used in pharmaceutical labs:
| Balance Series | AeroPan Model | Size |
| 520 Series (C, D, G) | AeroPan 520 | 186 x 186 mm |
| 321 Series (C, D, G) | AeroPan 321 | 200 x 200 mm |
| 520 Series (A) | AeroPan 390 | Ø 90 mm |
Seamless Integration & Compatibility
- Retrofitting is easy—just install the AeroPan and perform a linearization with the balance.
- Orders for the 520 Series (models A, C, D, G) with index ‑005 (with SCS) or ‑006 (without SCS) come pre-configured with AeroPan, ready for use right out of the box.
Why It Matters in Pharma Labs
- API Precision: Small errors can lead to dosage miscalculation—AeroPan improves repeatability and reduces sample disturbance.
- Containment Compatibility: Works well in HEPA-filtered balance enclosures or safety cabinets, harmonizing with existing containment workflows
- Regulatory Readiness: Supports environments compliant with USP, GMP, 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for traceability and precision.
AeroPan in Action: Examples
- Formulation labs weighing R&D sample APIs under laminar flow.
- Quality control stations handling intermediate powders on shop‑floor balances.
- Containment suites processing HPAPI compounds where turbulence severely impacts stabilization time.
