FMS Demo Tour 2017

THE FMS DEMONSTRATION TOUR 2017

LIGHTHOUSE will be conducting a roadshow demonstration tour of laser-based FMS Headspace Analyzers. All demonstrations will be conducted on-site at your facility and will follow the agenda outlined below:

Demonstration (2 hours)

1.  Technical Presentation

  • New FMS platforms for rapid non-destructive headspace analysis
  • A science-based approach to your application of interest
  • Industry case studies: wide applicability of headspace testing for applications in development, QC, and production

 

2.  System Demonstrations available

  • Container closure integrity testing applications with headspace analysis
  • Simultaneous vacuum and moisture determination in sterile freeze-dried vials
  • Headspace oxygen monitoring for product in vials, ampoules, bottles, and syringes

 

Registration

To register your company's interest for an on-site demonstration or to request more information, please fill in the form on the righthand side of this page.

 

Headspace Analysis for Development, QC and Production Applications

Rapid non-destructive headspace analysis is a powerful analytical tool for gaining insight into sterile processes, primary packaging material and components, and the quality of sterile finished product. As a rapid non-destructive analytical method, laser based headspace analysis can provide unprecedented insight into the various stages of aseptic processing and into the quality of the finished product. Other applications that can be addressed include:

  • Monitoring headspace oxygen consumption of oxygen-sensitive formulations
  • Monitoring permeation of oxygen through packaging materials
  • Detection of oxygen ingress as a result of poor container closure integrity
  • Determination of active water in a sealed container
  • Rapid non-destructive lyo product moisture determination
  • Quantitative determination of vacuum levels to ensure good closure integrity and appropriate product reconstitution
  • Moisture permeation / retention of packaging materials
  • Determination of water vapor transmission rates
  • 100% container closure integrity inspection of lyo product

The non-destructive nature of the method allows for efficient studies and there are no waste disposal issues, saving potentially valuable product for further analysis. Headspace analysis is useful for a wide range of applications in Formulation, Process, & Packaging Development, and QC. We are happy to tailor your on site demonstrations to address the applications of interest.
