Vial fogging is a phenomenon commonly observed in lyophilized biologic drug products and has been widely reported in the pharmaceutical industry. Vial fogging presents as a haze of dried powder whi
The use of nanoparticles (under 100 nm) in recent years has increased significantly, with applications in contrast agents in medical imaging, carriers for gene delivery into cells, targeted deliver
The freezing step of lyophilization has a major influence on the primary drying time. Whether using freezing slowly or quickly, using controlled nucleation or annealing, the choice of freezing prot
Lyophilization Basics: An Introduction to Freeze-Drying (Part 4 of 4) covers: Presented by Dr. J. Jeff Schwegman, PhD, CEO of Labyrinth Biopharma…
While water is the solvent of choice for the lyophilization of pharmaceuticals, the addition of an organic co-solvent can confer several advantages including increased solubility of hydrophobic dru
The use of lyophilized beads is growing in both the diagnostics and pharma sectors. They are often used for applications such as PCR assays, microfluidics, drug delivery and encapsulation of bacter
This webinar will begin with a discussion of the physical properties of materials that are commonly used to formulate freeze-dried products, and the impact that these materials can have on how prod
Lyophilization cycle development is no longer a trial and error process. There are many tools available to help scientists understand the process, improve product qualities, and obtain the data nee
