LYOPHILIZATION

The lyophilization process is where

perishable food or material is

frozen and the water found in the

material is sublimated – changing

from a solid sate to a gas state

without ever entering a liquid

state.

The water vapor is then removed,

the material is lighter, more

stable, and can be stored easier.

Another term for the process is

freeze-drying, or cryodesiccation.

DATA LOGGERS To monitor and validate the temperature

data during the lyophilization process, the

user must have a logger that can record in

ultra-low temperatures.

For most lyophilization applications, the

data logger being used should include a

temperature sensor or probe that is long,

thin and flexible for easy manipulation

and vial insertion.

AREAS OF STUDY

Lyophilization data loggers can provide

statistics for the experts in many fields,

such as:

◉ Red cell freezing units

◉ Plasma observation

◉ Priming biological pharmaceuticals

FEATURES

Data loggers don’t have to be difficult to

use. Aim for a unit that is easy to operate

and small enough to not get in the way.

Units with alert indicators that signal the

status of the data will be helpful.

Other features that prove to be helpful are:

⦿ Password security

⦿ Recording in real-time

⦿ Delayed start times

⦿ Customized alarm notification

ACCESSORIES Below are two optional items that

will make the logging process easer:

❑ A wall mount for your

lyophilization data logger.

Keep the unit within your

reach, visible and out of the

way at the same time!

❑ A surface temperature probe

attachment. These are

created to measure the

surface temperature of any

tray or flat object and should

slide easily onto the end of

the loggers probe.

INTERFACE Transferring data from the

logger to a computer should

be a breeze.

USB cables, docking stations

and appropriate interface

software can make the

process a snap.

Always remember to go over

the manual with unfamiliar

models.

CALIBRATION AND WARRANTIES

Another important factor is

the manufacturer’s warranty,

and if made available, the

extended warranty.

Check this out to know what

is covered and what is not,

should something happen to

your data logger.

The harsh temperatures that a lyophilization data logger must record in can

cause its sensors to eventually become less precise and need recalibration.

Data loggers must be calibrated regularly to keep your recording values

accurate.

When you first receive your product, look for the calibration certificate to

confirm the date of the calibration and make note of the date when the

next calibration is recommended.

IN SUMMATION When looking for a lyophilization data logger

remember to look for the following:

⦿ Ease of use

⦿ Size of device

⦿ Included features

⦿ Optional accessories

⦿ Hardware interface

⦿ Software to manage data and reporting
