Studies of the freezing behavior of aqueous solutions of mannitol are highly relevant to lyophilization process development given the prevalent use of this excipient. Here, through-vial impedance spectroscopy (TVIS) was used to study the behaviour of an aqueous solution of 5%w/v mannitol during a freezing and re-heating cycle. Temperature calibration of the TVIS parameter FPEAK enabled the determination of the ice nucleation temperature Tn at −13 oC while the ice solidification end point was observed based on the time profile of C' (0.2MHz), i.e. the real part capacitance at 0.2 MHz. A time difference of 20 min between the onset and end point then defines the ice solidification time ti. A later step in C^' (0.2MHz) indicated that mannitol crystallized at -32 oC and 20 minutes from end of ice solidification. Upon reheating at 0.2 oC/min, a large increase in C' (0.2MHz) was seen at −32 oC indicating the onset of melting of mannitol crystals which then lasted 20 min.
