Lyophilization of products enhances the stability and shelf life of many products including pharmaceutical vaccines. Their stability can only be guaranteed if low level water concentrations (0.2 to 5%) are present. For this reason, regulatory guidance indicates that this parameter must be controlled and determined. However, most current techniques are destructive and highly time-consuming.

SAM-Spec® Lyo is a new technology that provides you real-time, non-destructive evaluations of moisture content, as well as melt and glass particle detection within freeze-dried products.
