Wink of Knowledge: Measurement of the hydrogen peroxide concentration in water with <0.025% measurement uncertainty
Density measurements of hydrogen peroxide in water with the VLO-M2 were correct within <0.05 kg/m3 using control measurements from a laboratory analyser. The measured deviations correspond to a measurement uncertainty of <0.025% (250ppm) for the concentration determination.
Article: In-line measurements of the physical and thermodynamic properties of single and multicomponent liquids
Microfluidic devices are becoming increasingly important in various fields of pharmacy, flow chemistry and healthcare. In the embedded microchannel, the flow rates, the dynamic viscosity of the transported liquids and the fluid dynamic properties play an important role. Various functional auxiliary components of microfluidic devices such as flow restrictors, valves and flow meters need to be characterised with liquids used in several microfluidic applications.
Wink of Knowledge: Thermal flow measurement and correction by means of gas detection
Flow sensors based on the calorimetric measuring principle typically have to be adjusted to a specific medium. This wink of knowledge shows that a real-time density measurement is highly suitable for correcting the measured flow value for pure gases as well as binary gas mixtures.

Quality management according to ISO 9001:2015
Quality management according to ISO 9001:2015
Why do we get certified?
• The DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 standard is an international standard that demonstrates high levels of quality to customers and third parties.
• It serves as a catalogue of requirements for a quality management system.
• The results are optimised internal company processes, minimised rejects, resource conservation, and increased customer and employee satisfaction.
• An independent certification body confirms compliance with these standards.
• The aim of the standard is to understand and implement the requirements that interested parties expect the company to meet.
