Manufacturers in food-processing, the pharmaceutical industry and bioengineering make similar quality demands on metrological devices. These demands can be combined under the collective name "hygienic design". Hygienic design eccompasses all measures designed to avoid contamination and to ensure optimum cleanability.

LABOM devices for hygienic service are manufactured according to GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practice) and comply with the standards of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), the EHEDG (European Hygienic Equipment Design Group) as well as 3A standards.

The properties listed below render LABOM measuring instruments suited for applications in food/pharmaceutical/biotechnology:

 

	materials: stainless steel 1.4404 or 1.4435 (316 L) upon request to BN2 (Basle standard) tantalum, monel, hastelloy or special FDA-approved coatings
	case easy to clean, dust-proof and hose-proof (protection IP 65 or IP 67)
	hygienic surfaces, electropolished upon request
	dead-zone free measuring with "Inline technology" for example
	aspetic process connections, suited for CIP or SIP cleaning
