Lyophilisation, or freeze-drying is a key practice within the Pharmaceutical industry, as it is necessary for the effective long term storage and transport of biologics and other sensitive materials. However, though the theory is simple the practice is often fraught with challenges and difficulties, as problems such as; optimisation of freezing and drying times; ideal buffer selection; pH fluctuations, and excipient choice can all complicate the lyophilisation process.
As the Biopharmaceutical industry continues to grow, and the market for lyophilised products is reported to exceed 150 million units in 2010, there is a definite need for new rapid and cost effective lyophilising methods for large scale commercial usage.
