Designed to measure in harsh conditions

High-efficiency validation of your sterilization, freeze-drying, disinfection, and pasteurization processes with the testo 190 and testo 191

Looking for reliable measurements under any conditions?

When it comes to validation in pharmaceutical or industrial environments, precision is non-negotiable. Processes such as sterilization, freeze drying, disinfection and pasteurization must run under extreme conditions, with no room for compromise on compliance or product quality.

The testo 190 and testo 191 data loggers are engineered to perform far beyond standard operating limits. They deliver reliable data, intuitive handling and full traceability even under high pressure, low temperatures or intense steam heat. Curious to see how they perform? Explore our endurance studies and discover proven reliability in the toughest environments.
