Good Density and Refractometry Practice is a 5-step program to improve your lab process. It covers the entire lifecycle of your investment and helps to enhance quality while reducing risks and costs.

GDRP™ – 5 Steps to Excellence
Dependable analysis of density and refractive index starts long before daily routines in the laboratory: A requirements-based selection of the system, as well as professional installation and training form the basis for dependable and error-free measurement of density or refractive index. GDRP reduces the risks associated with density and refractive index analysis and facilitates
- Compliance with regulations
- Preservation of the accuracy and precision of results
- Increased productivity and reduced costs
- Professional qualification and training
- 5 Step Program

Step 1 - Evaluation
Selecting the right analytical system not only involves knowing your current needs but also requires taking future requirements into account. You can secure the first few steps on the right path by using our professional consulting services and documenting your requirements.

Step 2 - Selection
Once the actual and future needs have been clearly identified, the most suitable analytical system can be selected. This includes the measuring instrument with the required specifications, as well as automation and software if needed.

Step 3 - Installation
Correct installation is crucial to ensure the best working conditions as well as the longevity of the selected system. It begins with the selection of the location, taking into account external influences like sunlight, drafts, vibrations, etc. The most suitable tube connections and connections to additional measuring cells, automation units, and/or computers are important to ensure trouble-free operation.

Step 4 - Qualification
After installation, the system needs to be qualified for the operations it must fulfill. Professional commissioning and qualification of the analytical instrument used in QC or production are required. These activities need to be documented in a way that is easy to understand and traceable. The services offered by METTLER TOLEDO encompass the execution of the qualification process, including all documentation. This includes professional training that provides you with the confidence and skills to operate the instrument correctly.

Step 5 - Routine Operation
Well-trained users and regularly maintained instruments reduce the likelihood of day-to-day measurement errors, preventing potentially expensive follow-up costs. METTLER TOLEDO’s many years of expertise and experience are available in the form of comprehensive literature and trained sales consultants. Seminars are also available for users to refresh their knowledge. METTLER TOLEDO offers specifically tailored services for regular care and maintenance, helping to minimize the most common risks with minimal effort.
