Anthony C. Bevilacqua, PhD Mettler-Toledo Thornton

Dr. Anthony Bevilacqua is a Principal Scientist at Mettler-Toledo Thornton. He earned a doctorate in Analytical/Physical Chemistry from Tufts University. Since 1994, he has led several areas of Research and Product Development that include: impact of CO2 on pure water, ultrapure water as a conductivity solution standard, development of digital sensors, and expansion of real-time analytical parameters (conductivity, TOC, microbial detection, ozone, sodium, and silica) for measurement/control of high purity water systems, including pharmaceutical water systems.

Anthony was the conductivity consultant to USP during the implementation period for <645> Water Conductivity and <643> Total Organic Carbon USP chapters in the mid-1990’s, and he developed the theory, methods, and practicesfor conductivity testing for Purified Water and WFI. Anthony was Chair of the USP Pharmaceutical Water Expert Committee from 2000-2010. Anthony’s role continued in the 2010-2020 USP Chemical Analysis Expert Committee, and he is currently serving on the current committee for 2020-2025. For the last 25+ years, he has been working with EP, JP and other Pharmacopeias for international harmonization of pharmaceutical water quality standards and analytical test methods. He has multiple patents and delivered hundreds of presentations and numerous papers in pharmaceutical, microelectronics and water purification forums.
