Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions
Complete Environmental Monitoring Solutions

Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions is an industry expert in contamination control and monitoring. The qualification or requalification of an aseptic manufacturing facility depends on the demonstration of controlled environmental conditions. To assure microbiological sterility, pharmaceutical companies require robust environmental monitoring (EM) methods to identify and prevent contamination of drugs and biologics. Implementing a full-bodied EM program involves risk assessments, qualified site-specific sampling plans, as well as setting appropriate control limits. Lighthouse incorporates all these parameters in its comprehensive package of real-time contamination monitoring systems, portable particle counters and viable sampling solutions.

Serving clients for more than three decades, Lighthouse has emerged as the leading supplier of environmental monitoring solutions, placing major emphasis on risk mitigation and regulatory compliance. Ensuring regulatory compliance and quality control are critically important to the pharmaceutical industry. For this reason, in its airborne particle counting product line, Lighthouse has added onboard, downloadable audit trails that allow users to review historical data in order to determine if any changes were made to the sampling process. A company can easily store and track past records of instrument usage and find the root cause of any anomalies.

Lighthouse’s Apex line of remote and portable particle counters continuously monitor key self-diagnostics criteria to ensure compliant instrument performance. The ApexR series comes with an optional smart bracket that has built-in automatic location ID, to ensure particle data is tagged with the correct location name.

The company recently released two new portable particle counters, the ApexZ3 and ApexZ50. With enhanced self-diagnostics, internal audit trails, and wireless data transfer, these products are a game changer in the field of portable particle counting. The ApexZ models function both as portable instruments and as wireless sensors as part of a larger system feeding real time data back to a central environmental monitoring system.

Paul Newman, Executive Vice President says, “Lighthouse’s success is attributed to our ability to listen to our customers, understand their needs and respond accordingly.

What makes Lighthouse unique is our knowledge-focus and ability to provide comprehensive turnkey solutions to ensure the continued success of our clients

The ApexZ product line is the pinnacle of deliberate evolution in the field of portable particle counting. Starting with a significant reduction in weight to create the lightest 1 CFM and 100 LPM portable particle counters on the market today. Alarm lights were elegantly integrated into the handle to simplify viewing of the instruments status. Enhanced self-diagnostics as well as an internal audit trail help ensure the accuracy of the data and regulatory compliance. With the ability to wirelessly transfer data to your computer, server or LIMS system these instruments truly provide a paperless solution. Smaller, lighter, easier to use, the ApexZ line of particle counters represent the most technologically evolved instrument on the market today.

What binds all these devices together is Lighthouse’s LMS Express RT and LMS Pharma monitoring systems. These systems collect, display, and analyze data from a central location. Both software packages provide automated and sophisticated alarm notification, data viewing, reporting and have auditing that is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.

The technological innovations of Lighthouse are driven by the vision of bringing superior design to provide far-reaching benefits to the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. Anchored on this idea, Lighthouse continues to develop inventive instruments to equip pharma and biotech companies with a complete range of environmental monitoring solutions.

“What makes Lighthouse unique is our knowledge-focus and ability to provide comprehensive turnkey solutions to ensure the continued success of our clients,” says Newman.
