Through Vial Impedance Spectroscopy

Introduction to the TVIS System

  • Impedance spectroscopy characterizes the ability of materials to conduct

electricity under an applied an oscillating voltage (of varying frequency)

  • Impedance measurements across a vial rather than within the vial
  • Hence “Through Vial Impedance Spectroscopy”
  • Features
  • Single vial “non-product invasive”
  • Both freezing and drying characterised in a single technique
  • Non-perturbing to the packing of vials
  • Stopper mechanism unaffected

Through Vial Impedance Spectroscopy

Limitations

  • 𝐷𝑄𝐹𝐵𝐿

and 𝐺𝑄𝐹𝐵𝐿parameters rely on intimate contact of ice cylinder with glass wall

  • 𝐷′(100 kHz) parameter does not dependent on contact and can be used for end

point but relationship between 𝐷′(100 kHz) ice constant is non-linear

  • Cable length limited to 1m at present
  • C-TVIS not compatible with front loading system
  • Incompatible with TCs in same TVIS vial (use fibre optic sensors – INFAP)

  • heat transfer coefficients (𝐿𝑊)
  • dry layer resistance (𝑆𝑄)
  • Instrument Development
  • Commercial C-TVIS (2018)
  • Non-contact TVIS (2018-19)
  • Micro-well screening
  • Vial clusters in batch FD
  • TVIS - Shuttle (2019-20)
