Another GLP inspection successfully passed

Our laboratories were inspected again as scheduled in October 2019 by the Department of Chemical Safety and the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) of the Darmstadt Regional Council. We have now received official certification that consilab continues to be a GLP test facility for categories 1 and 5 from the Hessian Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection, Agriculture and Consumer Protection.

The consilab team once again impressed the inspectors with its well-equipped laboratories and experienced staff – and successfully passed the GLP inspection. We were again supported by our external partner for quality assurance, isomehr GmbH, Saarbrücken.

Since the last regularly scheduled inspection, we have of course further expanded our GLP portfolio to meet the needs of our customers. We are grateful for the suggestions and requests from our customers and are especially pleased about their willingness to discuss possible solutions with us. This is the best basis for intelligently expanding our offerings. We are eager to discover the future challenges our customers will present to us and the new methods we will be able to use to meet them. We are pleased to demonstrate that we remain as flexible, reliable and customer-focused as always.

You can see the GLP methods we currently offer here on our homepage in the “Services” section.

Consilab now also offers measurements in the TAM IV microcalorimeter

Most chemical processes are accompanied by heat production. The microcalorimeter’s high heat flow sensitivity and long-term temperature stability makes it possible to measure this heat signal. Heat flow in the µW/g range can be detected.

The samples can be stored isothermally at temperatures between 4 and 150 °C for periods ranging from a few hours to several weeks. The principle of the method is a twin-type calorimeter that measures the difference between the heat flow reference and the sample. A thermoelectric sensor reacts to the temperature difference by generating a potential over the sensor according to the Seebeck effect. This measuring method is a passive measuring method and is ideal for slow reactions.

The system features very precise temperature control and high calorimeter sensitivity, enabling measurements with high stability, low signal-to-noise ratios and high reproducibility. The manufacturer guarantees temperature stability with drift of less than ± 100µ°C within a 24-hour period.

A multicalorimeter with six minicalorimeters is currently installed inside the microcalorimeter. The required sample size is approx. 2.5 g or 3.0 mL. Both liquid and solid samples can be measured.

This measurement method can be used to evaluate the storage stability of a test substance. This method offers greater safety when stored in a tank while also providing data in connection with the new SAPT parameter or the SP 386 regulation (for details, see UN transport guideline: Manual of Tests and Criteria, Rev. 7 [2019], and UN Model Regulations, Rev. 21 [2019]).

The consilab team is always happy to provide you with more detailed information upon request. Simply contact us by email at or by phone at +49(0)69-305-30015. We look forward to answering your questions.

New laboratory methods implemented at Leverkusen site

In an effort to offer our customers in Leverkusen even more comprehensive service, we have expanded our portfolio this year to include a number of new laboratory methods.

For characterization of substances and mixtures as well as for registration of new substances according to REACH and CLP, we now offer determination of density, pH-value, kinematic and dynamic viscosity, pour point and water miscibility as well as melting point and boiling point. We have furthermore been able to expand our range of measuring methods for determining flash point so that we now cover a temperature range from – 30 °C to + 370 °C. The measurement spectrum required for classifying flammable liquids is now completed with the new flammability test.

Further methods are now being developed to expand our range of services at the Leverkusen site in the areas of thermal stability, continuous reaction and reaction calorimetry. The excitement continues.
