| + | 65 | Figures are collated from the freeze-drying literature and vary with concentration and with the measurement method.{{r|nail2002,tang2004}} The presence of sodium chloride is significant for peptide formulations because its low eutectic temperature drags the critical temperature of the whole system downward, forcing a colder and therefore longer primary drying step. A formulation carrying appreciable [[Trifluoroacetate counterion|trifluoroacetate]] or phosphate salt from purification behaves similarly. | |

| 66 | Primary drying removes the ice, which for a typical aqueous fill is 90–98% of the water present. Its duration is set by the sublimation rate, which in the simplest treatment follows from an energy balance across the vial base: the mass flow equals the heat flow divided by the enthalpy of sublimation. | 68 | Primary drying removes the ice, which for a typical aqueous fill is 90–98% of the water present.
