PRODUCTS

Our wide selection of products help you every step of the way

LIGHTHOUSE platforms use optical-based, non-destructive measurements to quickly assess statistical sample sets without loss of product. Our robust, portable benchtop platforms are user-friendly and versatile for various applications in development, manufacturing, and quality control. Our automated machinery is designed for flexibility and a small footprint, featuring patented configurations for continuous calibration monitoring during inspection runs.

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 Pular in-line headspace analysis platform

PULSAR Systems

Statistical sampling can miss the one defective vial in a lot of thousands, and manual CCI testing can't keep pace with a fill-finish line. The PULSAR Headspace Inspection System delivers automated, 100% inline inspection of headspace oxygen and pressure, rejecting non-conforming containers in real time.

Equipment Lease

Our flexible lease option allows clients to plan for short term activities in which rapid, non-destructive headspace measurements are critical to solving process or product quality concerns. Each of LIGHTHOUSE’s systems and instruments can be implemented as a short-term lease.

FMS-Oxygen Headspace Analyzer with NIST traceable standards from LIGHTHOUSE

FMS-Oxygen

The FMS-Oxygen Analyzer enables precise, non-invasive oxygen analysis in sealed containers — ideal for pharma QC, process validation, and container closure integrity testing (CCIT).

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.

FMS Automation Module

Manual sample handling can slow headspace testing, limiting how large a sample set you can realistically test. The FMS Automation Module pairs a robotic handler with your FMS Headspace Analyzer to test hundreds of vials unattended, at up to 300 samples per hour.
