Network with GlaxoSmithKline, Novo Nordisk, Boehringer Ingelheim, MedImmune, Ipsen, Norgine, GEA Pharma Systems, Chr. Hansen | Lyophilisation 2014
London, Southwark (PRWEB UK) 10 May 2014 -- Freezing is the most critical step when developing a lyophilisation cycle for protein formulations. The product must be frozen at a temperature that is low enough to be completely solidified. The solute can crystallize or remain substantially amorphous with freezing; understanding the physical form of the solute (i.e., whether crystalline or amorphous) after freezing is important from the standpoint of drying characteristics, appearance of the final product, and product stability during storage.
