Italian to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals pharmaceuticals and packaging manufacture
Baffling to search on Google!


AI says:
"Platinum Resistance Thermometer", one of the instruments used in the calibration process of the Grant QBD2 dry oven.

Wikipedia says:
"Taq polymerase" is the heat-stable (thermostable) [enzyme] DNA polymerase extracted from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus aquaticus. Its predominant function is in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique.

Please close this as 'errant question'. Thanks.
Simon Sobrero (asker) Mar 29:
TIC = "Temperature Indicator/Controller" Overall context suggests this is the best answer to "TIC". Again useful for the search engines.
Simon Sobrero (asker) Mar 29:
For the search engines Thanks again for your patience whilst I wasted everyone's time, but please let's leave this question on the site for the search engines. "Tag" should be picked up on a search, and anyway this silliness may happen again!
Simon Sobrero (asker) Mar 29:
Ooopst it's a typo!! Just been shown the source PDF, and it should be "tag" not "taq" (always assume stupidity before malice!)
"Tag" is probably a unique alphanumeric code assigned to a specific measurement instrument or sensor in the context of calibration and instrumentation.
Simon Sobrero (asker) Mar 29:
Thanks for your patience, more context: Table header: SCHEDA DI TARATURA - Laboratorio Controlli Biologici - Fornetto a secco

This document outlines the protocol for the annual requalification of a [packaging mainly] sterilization and depyrogenation tunnel used in a sterile liquids production line at a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Italy.

TIC = "Temperature Indicator/Controller"? "Thermocouple Input Channel", a temperature sensor channel on a measuring device receiving the thermocouple signal? [AI even suggests: "Termostato di sicurezza", a safety thermostat that is used to prevent the oven from overheating]

What is being made here - pharmaceuticals, or packaging?
Does the table have a heading?
What is TIC - temperature something?
