Development and implementation of freeze-drying processes to preserve the structure and activity of sensitive substances. Suitable for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medicine, and the food industry.
The Chemical Laboratory of the Saint Petersburg Technopark provides services for the development and execution of freeze-drying (sublimation dehydration) for laboratory and pilot samples. The method is based on freezing the product and subsequent moisture removalunder vacuum conditions, which allows for preserving biological activity, structure, and stability of sensitive compounds.
Lyophilization is in demand when working with pharmaceutical substances, proteins, peptides, biological products, as well as in cosmetic and food technologies. Center specialists select optimal freezing and drying parameters, support the technology at all stages, and help scale the process to meet the customer's objectives.
Applications
Pharmaceutical and biomedical preparations
Biotechnological and research samples
Probiotics, enzymes, proteins, and peptides
Food, cosmetic, and chemical formulations
Work stages
Assessment of physicochemical properties, volume, and drying goals. Selection of freezing strategy.
Individual selection of temperature and pressure conditions throughout the cycle depending on the nature of the sample.
Sample drying under laboratory conditions, monitoring of critical parameters.
Recording parameters in chart form, analyzing the process chart and explaining the drying process, evaluating the resulting lyophilized form, and developing practical recommendations for process optimization.
Support during the transition from laboratory drying to small-scale or industrial production, selection of equipment and packaging.
