Why should you attend?

Lyophilization (freeze drying) is used in biomanufacturing processes to remove solvent from drug products and improve stability. In this one-day hands-on course, you will learn the principles of biopharmaceutical lyophilization, process development, and dried product analysis.

In lectures and hands-on lab sessions, you will learn basic drying principles and how inputs such as temperature, formulation, time, and other factors influence final product quality attributes. Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and freeze dry microscopy (FDM) you will learn to determine critical product temperatures such as glass transition and collapse temperature that are key to designing a successful drying cycle. Review operation and process monitoring on pilot-scale lyophilization equipment. Moisture content and water activity of lyophilized products will be measured with Karl Fischer titration and tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) headspace analysis.

Attend and you will learn

  • Principles of how drying process parameters influence the final dried product quality
  • How to characterize critical material temperatures using differential scanning calorimetry and freeze-dry microscopy
  • To evaluate final product quality using multiple analytical techniques

Who should attend

Anyone new to biopharmaceutical drying technologies and dried product quality analysis or with interest in advancing their understanding of the topic. This course is suitable for a wide audience including those in manufacturing, process development, research, sales, marketing, or managerial roles.

Attend and you will receive

  • 1 day (8 hours) of instruction
  • Notebook containing all course lecture and lab materials
  • Morning coffee and tea
  • Lunch
  • Certificate of completion
