Observations on the Changing Shape of the Ice Mass and the Determination of the Sublimation End Point in Freeze-Drying: An Application for Through-Vial Impedance Spectroscopy (TVIS)

Models for ice sublimation from a freeze-drying vial rely on the assumption of a planar ice interface up to ~25% loss of ice mass (which is difficult to qualify) whereas single-vial determinations of the sublimation endpoint (by temperature sensors) are based on the point when the observed temperatu...
