background and aims: the safe, potent and effective live vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella as important childhood diseases have been available for several decades. several factors can affect the thermal stability of lyophilized vaccine. methods: in this study, the effect of residual moisture on thermal stability of 61 batches of mmr vaccine was investigated using an accelerated method...

The international Reference Reagent for anti-HPV 16 (05/134) was established by ECBS in 2007. This material was not given the status of International Standard as the residual moisture was more variable than usually observed in serum fills. Two additional studies have been undertaken in which ampoules were assayed for residual moisture using non-invasive techniques so that antibody assays could ...

This Application Bulletin describes an approach for developing near-infrared methods for the determination of residual moisture in typical lyophilized pharmaceutical products. In this case, samples were contained in sealed 30 mL serum vials (3 cm o.d.). The average cake weight of this product was 1.6 g with a target moisture level of 1% and acceptable moisture limit of not more than 2% by weigh...

Ground-reflected global positioning system signals measured by a geodetic-quality GPS system can be used to infer temporal changes in near-surface soil moisture for the area surrounding the antenna. This technique, known as GPS-interferometric reflectometry, analyzes changes in the interference pattern of the direct and reflected signals, which are recorded in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data, ...
