As food and alternative fuel demands continue to grow, increasing pressure is being placed on sugar and bioethanol producers to improve efficiency and process safety in order to maximize productivity. Process analytics can play a significant role in this endeavor.

The water content of the famous Ricola herbal drops made from Swiss mountain herbs needs to be carefully controlled during the entire production chain. For more than 20 years, Ricola has monitored this parameter with a volumetric Karl Fischer titrator from METTLER TOLEDO to ensure high quality of herbal products.

One Click Loss on Drying is a comprehensive new solution that determines moisture content of both raw ingredients and final food products in a secure and structured way. The system guides the operator through the process via the balance’s screen and automatically handles all data and calculations. Thanks to the complete task and data management, process security of this critical, everyday quality control analysis in food labs is clearly increased.

Mettler Toledo is changing the way standards and samples are prepared in analytical laboratories by introducing the new Quantos liquid dosing module. Quantos combines Mettler Toledo’s weighing competence with unique powder and liquid dosing technology. Up to now, when preparing a solution, the amount of substance to be dosed was determined by the required concentration and the available volumetric glassware. Quantos instead weighs the amount of substance which can be only a few milligrams and automatically adds solvent to accomplish the correct concentration. Instead of the glassware, the user decides on the amount of substance and may thus realize significant savings. Substance and solvent can directly be dispensed into the target vial instead of a volumetric flask simplifying the solution preparation process. Automation makes the process error resistant reducing out-of-specification results.

Due to the ever stricter requirements of international emissions standards, determining the mass of particulate matter is now a key task at environmental laboratories and in the automotive industry. To keep up with these ever stricter standards for particulate emissions, in particular from diesel powered vehicles, METTLER TOLEDO is proud to present the F-A770 Filter Robot - the complete solution for the global automotive industry.

The Tablex-PRO has been developed with today's highly regulated pharmaceutical production plants firmly in mind. With an emphasis on current and future compliance requirements, the new Safeline metal detector delivers the opportunity for manufacturers to increase productivity, reduce overall manufacturing costs and improve their competitiveness.

METTLER TOLEDO has announced an on-demand webinar, How pH Measurement Reduces Maintenance in Petroleum Processes. The webinar explains the importance of pH in refining and how new technology can lower maintenance costs as well as reduce chemical consumption.

METTLER TOLEDO has introduced OptiMax, a powerful synthesis workstation optimized for pharmaceutical, fine-chemical and specialty-chemical development. The unique design and its intuitive interface improves the organic synthesis process and maximizes time-to-result in product development in increasingly competitive markets. The compact workstation allows experiments to run from -40 to 180°C without oil or ice baths or bulky cryostats with little to no training.
