DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Lyophilization Basics for Pharmaceuticals 2 Day Course Online” training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
This Lyophilization Pharmaceutical Course is sure to act as an outline for freeze-drying of pharmacological parenteral products. Many medicine substances necessitate the extra protection that lyophilization usually comes with, and the preparation of the liquid drug product must be designed to enhance the efficiency of the completely dried product.
This course will cover multiple objectives right from how lyophilization functions to changing a liquid drug product into a dried, more-stable powder. Cycle and preparation design will be elucidated, along with the methodical values that are at play.
This course will also cover manufacturing operations for freeze-dried pharmaceuticals, as well as instruct attendees about the equipment, systems, subsystems, and instrumentation utilized in a commercial lyophilizer. Performance limitations will be described, as well as techniques to optimize equipment capability and freeze dry cycles.
