Apollo II Liquid Viewer

European Pharmacopoeia Specification 2.9.20

PARTICULATE CONTAMINATION : VISIBLE PARTICLES

This unit provides a simple method for the detection of visible particles. Particulate contamination of injections and intravenous infusions consists of extraneous, mobile, undissolved particles other than gas bubbles unintentionally present in the solutions.

Method

Gently swirl or invert each individual container, ensuring that air bubbles are not introduced and observe for about five seconds in front of the white panel. Repeat the procedure in front of the black panel.

Apparatus

This consists of a viewing station in an aluminium frame comprising:

• Matt black panel held in a vertical position
• Non-glare white panel held in a vertical position adjacent to the black panel
• Light unit, adjustable in height, comprising two 13 watt lamps with a polycarbonate cover to give downward lighting with intensity of illumination at the viewing point maintained between 2000 lux and 3750 lux
