Wireless, Battery-free and Real-time Measurement
Tempris: The new freedom in lyophilization process monitoring
Tempris was developed for lyophilization in collaboration with leading pharmaceutical companies and universities in Europe and the USA. The same Tempris sensors used in laboratory scale can be used in pilot and production freeze-dryers under cGMP guidelines to obtain directly comparable data.
Experience the new freedom of wireless, battery-free and real-time measurement of product temperature Tp during the freeze-drying process. Tempris as a PAT tool provides the most important information about Tp in the freeze-drying process and thus amazing opportunities for process optimization and product quality improvement.

Tempris Lyophilization Sensor Accessories and Consumables
The correct measuring position
Only with the exact positioning of the sensor in the vial, the measurement data becomes comparable and provides the pharmacist with valuable information throughout the freeze-drying process. With smart accessories such as PIT, CCP and S-ANT, it becomes easy to place Tempris sensors reliably and accurately at the desired position.
PIT Piercing Tool
 |
With the piercing tool, the sensor in just a few simple steps can be combined with the stopper. The sensor is positioned together with the centering crosspiece (CCP) at the bottom of the vial. For use in cGMP, the sensor is sterilized together with the stopper and CCP.
The piercing tool includes: |
CCP Centering Cross Piece
 |
The Centering Cross Piece ensures that the sensor is positioned exactly at the center bottom position of the vial. Different CCP’s are available for different vial sizes. The disposable CCP is cGMP compliant.
Vial Sizes: Customized CCP sizes on request |
S-ANT Sensor Antenna
 |
The disposable sensor antenna is made of thin, flexible stainless spring steel and is cGMP compliant. This antenna is specifically designed to be compatible with the stoppering process. |
