Laboratory Measurement Services.
After commercializing the first laser-based headspace inspection platforms in the pharmaceutical industry more than a decade ago with funding from the Food & Drug Administration, LIGHTHOUSE platforms have analyzed and inspected millions of parenteral containers in sterile pharmaceutical facilities around the world.
Because customers are not always able to invest in the purchase of their own headspace systems, LIGHTHOUSE also offers a portfolio of Measurement Services. One of these is Laboratory Measurement Services.
Customers can take advantage of Laboratory Measurement Services by sending finished product samples for analysis to LIGHTHOUSE laboratory facilities in Charlottesville, Virginia or Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Samples are analyzed and the results are interpreted and summarized in a Final Report by LIGHTHOUSE Application Scientists. These results can be used as part of a feasibility study, troubleshooting activity, or planned experiment.
Headspace analysis of parenteral containers enables insight into many sterile processes as well as into the quality of finished product. The wide variety of applications includes container closure studies, headspace oxygen stability studies, vacuum leak detection of freeze dried vials, freeze drying cycle optimization, and nitrogen purging efficiency studies. By setting up resources dedicated to Headspace Measurement Services, LIGHTHOUSE makes this expertise and measurement technology available to clients on a project basis.
