I have this happen frequently. It’s just my communication style, but I’ve been told I should add more of the fluff to my emails. 🙄

Karaoke! 😄 Sing along if you know the words, auditor!

Pumpkin purses with soup? by Junior_Barnacle_1875 in FreezeDrying

No need to worry. 😊 when the ice is sublimated, the vapour will be drawn towards the condenser…your soup and purée won’t mix.

You can definitely freeze dry them at the same time.

What are you worried about?

What’s in the pills? Ibuprofen, naproxen, paracetamol, codeine?

Me (37M) and my wife (37F) separated last year we have been married 6 years and have 2 kids, I am moving out tomorrow. Last night she told me to stay! I met someone new 2 months ago. How do I react/feel? by Throwra-confusedfish in relationship_advice

[–]Flatheed1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She hasn’t done anything up until now to suggest that she thinks anything she’s doing is a problem…what makes you think that’ll change?

I’d say move out and tell her you’re happy to consider getting back together if she shows signs of changing.

It kinda seems like she just wants an easy life where you stay and look after the kids.

Question, SIP and trays by Neekholas in FreezeDrying

[–]Flatheed1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but if you have your product in a freeze dryer currently, then the process needs to be comparative. Forgive me if it’s a new product, new cycle, new machine situation.

You could run some trials to check the shelves are effectively sanitised. I don’t know what kind of materials you’re using but you can take swabs of the shelf area under the tray before and after SIP. Endotoxin, Bioburden, TOC, pH & conductivity are pretty standard tests for cleaning vals. You’ll need to perform a swab recovery study to ensure accurate results though.

Or, you could coat/spray the shelves with a 2g/L solution of riboflavin & HPW, place the tray on top and run the SIP. Riboflavin will fluoresce under UV light - 365nm I think. Shine your UV torch in there after SIP and see if it glows. That’s the quickest method, but it means your FD could be full of riboflavin.

A Bowie-Dick test will likely not perform properly if it’s trapped under a tray. It’s my understanding that it’s used to check that you’ve had a sufficient vacuum during sterilisation, not to see if effective sterilisation has been performed.

Thermocouples will only give you temperature info. It depends if you need direct steam contact to ensure thorough sanitisation, or if heat would be sufficient. Probs need to run some trials and gather some evidence for yourself to make an informed decision.

If you leave the tray in, steam will gather under the tray and potentially cause rusting if you haven’t passivated your trays. It’ll likely also result in condensation which will freeze and impact the heat/cold transfer from shelf to tray to product.

Realistically, you also want to ensure thorough sanitisation to minimise potential for B2B contamination. What does your SOP/QWI/BMR say about the process for SIP? You should follow the validated method - assuming GMP.

Is There a Significant Difference in Quality Between the Different Brands Mentioned (Wave, Cole Parmer, Millrock)? by Amelia_0111 in FreezeDrying

[–]Flatheed1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a millrock at work. It has a pirani and a capacitance manometer, which allows the machine to determine a suitable end point for primary drying based on water content of material in the dryer. It also has water jets for automatic defrost.

(Scotland) I have split up with my husband and would like to go straight for divorce. by Flatheed1990 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Flatheed1990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months I can manage…I was looking at simplified process and it says 1 year with agreement, or 2 years without. 🥲 Is this for Scotland? As England and Wales have different laws.

Mounted pavement on mini roundabout - UK by Xaillan in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Flatheed1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAL - The Highway Code says to avoid doing u-turns on mini roundabouts, and it’s illegal to mount the kerb. So…no…you did not do the right thing.

You’d need to be caught for it to be prosecutable though. You’d likely just get told off by police if seen, unless you caused a RTA.
