Pharmaceutical Contract Lyophilization Services

Lyophilization is a water removal process used to extend shelf life or make the pharmaceutical product more convenient for transport. Lyophilization is accomplished by freezing the material, then reducing the pressure and adding heat to allow the frozen water in the material to sublimate, which means the pharmaceutical passes directly from the solid state to the vapor state. Services for lyophilization product development include cycle development, analytical testing, thermal characterization, scale-up, tech transfer, regulatory support and process validation services.
