Abstract: A method for determining water content of a preferably solid pharmaceutical preparation/sample, wherein at least two electrodes are brought into direct contact with the pharmaceutical preparation/sample in a measurement chamber such that the electrodes are electrically connected to one another via the pharmaceutical preparation/sample, and wherein a resistance of the pharmaceutical preparation/sample is determined by means of the electrodes and the water content and/or the sample quality of the pharmaceutical preparation/sample is determined with the ohmic resistance.

Abstract: Methods and systems for calculating a suitability indicator which corresponds to a suitability of a packaging system for packaging a substance, where a stability indicator which corresponds to a stability of the substance or of a component of the substance is determined as a function of at least one ambient condition, preferably the relative humidity and/or temperature of the environment of the substance, and the suitability indicator is calculated with at least one parameter relating to the ambient condition and with the stability indicator of the substance.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises at least one RFID chip (30), which is surrounded by a metallic outer casing (11) of a packaging unit (1), is used for radio-frequency identification and has a circuit (32) and an antenna structure (31), and a transmitting/receiving unit (41) for transmitting a transmission signal (42) and/or receiving a response signal (43) from the RFID chip (30), wherein the response signal (43) can be evaluated using an evaluation unit (44) which is connected to the transmitting/receiving unit (41). The RFID chip (30) has an operating frequency in a frequency band (50) below a range of a blocking frequency (54) which is determined by the conductivity of the metallic outer casing (11) and the thickness thereof.

Abstract: A safety system comprises a transponder (3) and a reading device (5) of an RFID system, the transponder (3) being associated with a pharmaceutical product (2) and the reading device (5) being associated with an application device (4) for the pharmaceutical product (2) and the application device (4) being usable only after being enabled by the RFID system. The transponder (3) is associated, in an inaccessible manner, with a container (7) filled with the pharmaceutical product (2), which can be inserted in the application device (4).

Abstract: An induction seal disc for a closure (4) of a bottle for storing medicaments comprises an elastic pressure inlay (9) and an, in particular, metallic sealing foil (8). Between the pressure inlay (9) and the sealing foil (8) is disposed a film (10) having low permeability.

Abstract: In a method for the pretreatment of a desiccant for a package unit for active pharmaceutical ingredient formulations, before the desiccant is introduced into the package unit it is exposed as additional conditioning step to a defined humidity atmosphere with a particular residual moisture.
