SP Industries has selected the IBC Formulation Strategies for Protein Therapeutics meeting in Rayleigh, NC, to showcase its Lyostar freeze dryer with Smart freeze-dryer technology.
The freeze dryer has been designed for development scientists looking to accelerate and streamline the task of developing freeze-drying cycles for protein-based therapeutics.
SP Industries said integrating the Lyostar freeze dryer with Smart freeze-dryer technology provides development scientists with programming flexibility and product protection whether the product is processed in vials, bulk trays, 96-well plates or syringes.
The Lyostar freeze dryer is designed and built like a production freeze dryer and is the size of a pilot plant model.
It is said to feature good shelf mapping, fast shelf freezing, stoppering for vials and software that reduces the average formulation development cycle time.
Smart freeze-dryer technology enables development scientists to create a streamlined but safe process that can shave days off the production cycle.
This efficiency gain can eliminate production bottlenecks, expand capacity and reduce production costs.
