Center Valley, Pa., September 18, 2024 – In fields as diverse as aerospace, pharmaceuticals, heavy machinery and medical devices, inspecting and analyzing residue on filters is key for documenting the purity and cleanliness of the manufacturing process and analyzing particles found in fluids. The Olympus Automated Filter Analysis System makes identifying, reporting and archiving images and information on residual particles fast, accurate and highly reliable. In a matter of minutes, the user receives statistical data relating to identified particles; then the information is documented and archived. The fully automated system is a combination of hardware and intuitive software designed to provide detailed data in compliance with many ISO and USP international standards (in particular ISO 4406, 16232 and USP 788).
The Olympus Automated Filter Analysis System consists of a microscope, digital camera, and motorized stage with controller and analysis software. Particle-by-particle data is provided on every inspection, and records can be stored for an unlimited time. Data storage is automatic, and doesn’t rely on users to remember how or where to archive data. Other advantages include the system’s adherence to key international and/or user-definable standards, speed, enhancement of data integrity, and an automated one-touch function for extraordinary ease of use. The system is designed to work with standard 47mm filters.
“Unlike manual optical inspection systems, the Olympus system, in less than two minutes, accurately detects, counts, classifies, and measures residue particulates in filters,” said Linda Sikel, Product Manager for Industrial Microscopes at Olympus America. “Because individual operators no longer have to examine each filter and make subjective judgments, there is better integrity to the data. The speed and accuracy of the integrated system also offers users a time saving element that could prove to deliver a stronger return on investment.”
