Online moisture control for lyophilized pharmaceutical products
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring the residual water content in freeze-dried products is within the acceptable range is critical for product stability and shelf-life. Traditional methods for measuring this parameter are often destructive and time-consuming, posing challenges for efficient and economical production.
Measure residual moisture in real-time
The LYOSENSE® from GEA provides real-time, non-destructive evaluation of freeze-dried pharmaceutical products using multipoint NIR measurements. This system allows for the accurate detection of residual moisture in the range of 0.2-5.0%, essential for ensuring product quality. The LYOSENSE® is easy to install and integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, offering rapid measurement and instant data feedback. This system enhances quality control by supporting 100% vial inspection at a rate of up to 100 vials per minute, while its simple calibration and user-friendly interface make it a practical tool for pharmaceutical production. The mobile LYOSENSE® STATION variant is designed for flexibility, enabling quick and accurate moisture testing in various production areas. All systems comply with European Union’s CE Guidelines and are verified through factory acceptance tests (FAT) before delivery.
