The amended SOLAS Convention, which came into effect on July 1, 2016, mandates that the shipper named on the bill of lading (B/L) must measure and declare the total weight of all containers using the specified method before shipment from the cargo terminal. In practice, shipping companies and terminals may be held liable if they load containers without a verified gross weight declaration, necessitating strict compliance with the new regulations. Please refer to the guidebook for measures to ensure compliance with regulations using appropriate weighing equipment. Mettler Toledo's logistics solutions, chosen by the global transportation and logistics industry, serve as your partner with their accuracy, robustness, and operational reliability.

■Utilization of Quantos in Residual Pesticide Testing Process■ To test the amount of residual pesticides in food products, which are strictly regulated by law, highly accurate standard reagents are required. The concentration of active ingredients in these standard reagents is crucial, but the purity of raw materials is not always 100%, and multiple raw materials may be combined. Preparing multiple standard reagents with uniform concentrations has traditionally required a significant amount of time. By utilizing Quantos' liquid dispensing system, it is possible to prepare highly accurate standard reagents in a shorter time compared to conventional methods, while also minimizing waste of time and materials caused by repeatedly making reagents. This guide introduces solutions that support the preparation of highly accurate standard reagents in addition to Quantos. Please take a look.

■Special Weighing Pan SmartPan■ When using a balance in a typical laboratory, the balance is always exposed to airflow caused by draft chambers, human movement, and air conditioning. Such air convection, along with temperature differences around the weighing pan and the sample, as well as static electricity, are representative external factors that can affect weighing results and should be eliminated as much as possible. In this guide, we introduce the SmartPan, which minimizes the effects of air convection and supports improved repeatability. Please take a look.

■Easily perform density measurement in 5 steps■ Density measurements of solids, liquids, and highly viscous porous substances can be conducted using Mettler Toledo's density measurement kit, both on analytical and top-loading balances. This guide introduces the measurement procedures when using the built-in applications and density measurement kit with Mettler Toledo's MS-TS, ML-T, and ME-T analytical balances. Please take a look.

■Process Management Software LabX■ When managing SOPs and measurement results by hand, various precautions are necessary to avoid transcription errors and other issues. Additionally, not only does this take time, but if errors require redoing the work, it also leads to wasted costs. Mettler Toledo's process management software LabX not only helps avoid these errors but also offers a wide range of benefits, including compliance with audits. This guide introduces these benefits. Please take a look.

■Basic Knowledge of Balances: What You Think You Know but Don't■ Balances are precision instruments. To obtain accurate and reliable measurement results, it is important to establish an appropriate installation environment and understand the correct operating methods. This guide introduces the following topics: ■Installation Environment: 4 Checkpoints - Vibration - Air Convection - Temperature/Humidity - Sunlight ■Operating Methods: 3 Checkpoints - Power Supply - Level Adjustment - Daily Inspection Please make use of this information.

The measurement and control of dissolved oxygen is a very important parameter in various processes in chemistry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, power generation, and the food and beverage industry. Inline measurement of liquids and gases is the most effective method for providing continuous real-time oxygen level data. This guidebook outlines the theory of dissolved oxygen measurement, the differences between amperometric and optical sensor technologies, and the advantages of intelligent sensor management technologies.

The weighing sensor is a measuring device designed for integration into equipment. It is not only compact and highly accurate but also takes into account different requirements such as reading speed and automatic calibration functions, which differ from standalone models. Various models have been introduced to meet a range of requirements and conditions. Please feel free to download case studies for your reference.

The measurement and control of pH play a very important role in a wide range of processes in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food and beverages. By the way, what exactly is pH? Why is it so important? Also, how do pH sensors work? For those who want to see all 108 pages, please visit the Mettler Toledo website.

This guideline explains the weight-based filling method and how to optimize it. Whether the measurement target is liquid, solid, or gas, weighing is the most accurate and reliable measurement technique corresponding to filling, formulation recipes, dispensing, and batch processing. Furthermore, it reduces the risk of cross-contamination by avoiding contact with stored substances and ensures operator safety. This offers significant advantages in industries with strict regulations, such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, and food.

In the manufacturing process, "mass measurement" greatly influences product quality. It is natural that industrial scales and balances require precision, but it is also important to choose products with the appropriate "measurement accuracy" for each specific product. Mettler Toledo is currently offering a "white paper" that explains the "establishment of allowable management ranges (process tolerance) and the method for selecting measuring instruments based on that." The document introduces the basic concepts of allowable management ranges, how to determine and set appropriate management ranges, using formulas and diagrams. Additionally, it includes explanations about the "safety factor" needed after setting the allowable management range and points to consider when introducing measuring instruments, providing a comprehensive resource for improving measurement quality.

The measurement and control of pH play a very important role in a wide range of processes in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food and beverage industries. By the way, what exactly is pH? Why is it so important? And how do pH sensors work? Our guide contains all the answers.
