TLC® - Thermodynamic Lyophilization Control
A process analysing, monitoring and control tool for Freeze Drying in R+D applications and for full-scale production.
GEA Lyophil has developed TLC as an in-line, non-invasive method of:
- Monitoring the primary (main) drying
- Determining the end of the main drying
- Monitoring the secondary drying
- Determining the end of the secondary drying
TLC enables a dynamic control of the drying process: minor variations – e.g. of the rawproduct or the filling height of the vials – will be identified and the process will be adjusted accordingly.
