Our other benchtop instruments

Analyst using a LIGHTHOUSE laser-based headspace analyser

FMS-Carbon Dioxide

The FMS-Carbon Dioxide Headspace Analyzer enables the rapid non-destructive analysis of headspace carbon dioxide in sealed parenteral containers. Applications include container closure integrity testing and automated inspection of media fill containers.

LIGHTHOUSE Headspace Moisture and Pressure Analyzer

FMS-Moisture/Pressure

Lost vacuum and moisture ingress after freeze drying threaten product stability, yet many methods can't measure these headspace conditions directly. The FMS-Moisture/Pressure Headspace Analyzer measures moisture and total pressure simultaneously and non-destructively, straight through the container wall.

LIGHTHOUSE non-destructive water activity analyzer

FMS-Water Activity

Reactive moisture drives degradation, caking, and stability failures in solid dosage and lyophilized product, yet Karl Fischer titration and loss on drying destroy the very samples you need to monitor over time. The FMS-Water Activity Analyzer measures water activity non-destructively, straight through the container.
