As the doors closed on INTERPHEX 2025, the Kaye team would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the attendees, partners, and industry peers who visited our booth during this truly inspiring event. Held from April 1–3 at the Javits Center in New York City, INTERPHEX 2025 brought together nearly 10,000 pharmaceutical and biotechnology professionals for three incredible days of innovation, collaboration, and learning.
The aerospace industry sets particularly strict and accurate standards for thermal processing, outlined in specifications such as AMS 2750 (current version: AMS 2750F) and the industry manual by NADCAP (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program). Accurate measurement and calibration of the temperature sensors used, as well as all process monitoring and temperature-dependent system components, play a central role. The aim of this blog post is to give a brief description of the ice point references used and to highlight their importance in complying with guidelines.
Kaye is excited to announce its participation in INTERPHEX 2025, the world’s leading event in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. Hosted at the Javits Center in New York City from April 1-3, this event is a significant opportunity for professionals to explore cutting-edge technologies, participate in expert-led seminars, and network with industry leaders.
In the ever-evolving modern business world, one constant remains: the indispensable value of ethics. At Kaye, a subsidiary of Amphenol, we have declared ethics as one of our core values, and today we would like to provide you with insight into what this means for us concretely and why it is of utmost importance in our work.
The Kaye LTR-200 is specifically designed to calibrate temperature sensors precisely, offering a wide temperature range from -50°C to +200°C. Ideal for various calibration tasks in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, this system enables simultaneous calibration of up to 24 thermocouples.
In the pharmaceutical industry, thorough and accurate documentation is vital when validating measurement systems. Efficiency enhancement and compliance assurance are achieved through comprehensive validation documentation and user support, as provided by Kaye Measurement Systems. This detailed documentation not only ensures regulatory compliance and enables traceability but also forms the basis for continuous improvement processes and the identification of optimization potential within the systems.
Checking the calibration parameters in data loggers is an important part of functional quality management. Especially with temperature data loggers, regular verification of the validity of the calibration data is a recommended practice within risk assessment. Mobile data loggers are exposed to various stresses that can have a lasting negative effect on the calibration offsets stored in the loggers. Documented and regularly conducted checks serve to prevent incorrect measurements and the potentially associated need to repeat an already carried out validation study.
At Kaye, a subsidiary of Amphenol, we are excited to share a significant update in our commitment to sustainability and renewable energy. With the installation of a 40 kVA solar system at our Pforzheim location in Germany, we will be able to cover more than 20% of our annual electricity consumption exclusively with self-generated solar power in the future.
The latest expansion of the Kaye ValProbe RT® product line introduces additional technical and user-oriented features that improve user-friendliness and broaden the application spectrum for GxP compliant validation studies. Thanks to improved hardware and software features, such as the support for up to 50 Kaye ValProbe RT® real-time data loggers per study, application-centric applications such as CO2 incubator qualification are sustainably supported. An additional standard evaluation tool based on AFNOR FDX15-140 also simplifies the qualification of climatic chambers of any type and size.
The pharmaceutical industry constantly faces the challenge of meeting stringent regulatory requirements and high-quality standards. One of the essential tasks is the qualification of critical process equipment. Traditionally, predefined guidelines and standards are followed. However, the increasing focus on quality and safety necessitates more: a comprehensive risk analysis that identifies and evaluates potential sources of hazards. In this paper, we highlight why risk analysis is an indispensable part of the qualification process and how it can be effectively integrated into the qualification plan. The goal is to raise awareness and underscore the importance of risk analysis with subsequent risk evaluation.
