Lyophilisation training courses are essential

Trained personnel for lyophilisation helps ensure the best results for your projects, say Biopharma Group

Personnel with extensive freeze drying experience are very rare in the industry. Many companies have been using lyophilisation technologies for decades without questioning inherited formulations or cycles.

It is not uncommon to find that an organisation has used one formulation for several cycles, which is not the ideal practice.

“There is no such thing as a ‘one cycle fits all’ when it comes to lyophilisation,” said the Biopharma Group, who have many years specific experience in the speclialsm.

They explain that product reactions to lyophilisation can vary greatly and each API may need a different excipient blend to produce the best result.

One of the reoccurring issues encountered within the industry is the movement of labour. Often, those with extensive knowledge surrounding the subject move on to other companies, taking this knowledge with them.

As lyophilisation is such a specialised area, there are few experts with significant working knowledge of its complexities.

Biopharma runs lyophilisation technology-specific training programmes for engineering groups and science and technology teams.

Then company offers regularly scheduled courses each year and offer customised courses.
