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 T hrough V ial I mpedance S pectroscopy 4
