Nutraceuticals
Nutraceuticals Freeze Drying and the Nutraceuticals Industry A nutraceutical is a nutrient derived from organic sources – a plant or a food — that’s commonly used for medicinal purposes or dietary supplements. The market remains robust and ever-growing for nutraceuticals such as antioxidants; probiotics; omega-3 fatty acids; glucosamine; melatonin; plants like algae, aloe vera, seaweed, […]
Microbiome
Freeze Drying for Microbiomes The process of freeze drying bacteria is not a new technology. This general process is used to preserve bacteria, fungi, yeasts, proteins, nucleic acids, and any other molecules which may be degraded due to the presence of water. During the last decade, there has been rapid acceleration in scientific understanding of […]
Nanoparticles
Nanoparticle Freeze Drying: Applications Across Many Industries Nanoparticles have proven valuable to the pharmaceutical industry as part of drug delivery systems, but long-term storage often causes instability to those systems. Removing water through freeze drying has become the go-to solution to this challenge. Freeze drying nanoparticles also helps preserve a solution’s homogenous properties and achieve […]
Tissue
Freeze Drying Tissue: Preserving and Storing Life-Saving Treatments Tissue and collagen bio-scaffolds have become a unique yet vital part of various medical specialties, especially emergency medicine. The ever-evolving field of wound care in particular relies on these scaffolds to change and save lives. Once the raw material is harvested from bovine, porcine, shellfish, human or […]
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Freeze Drying
Why Is Freeze Drying Important to API Production? Freeze drying has become a crucial element in production of many Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) – the part of any drug that maximizes its effects. Lyophilization of an API into dry powder for later reconstitution extends its shelf life and storage capabilities. Sometimes freeze drying is an […]
Biotech
Freeze Drying Biotech Products Biotech products being derived from living organisms such as enzymes or bacteria require a methodology for stabilization to extend shelf life and allow east transport. Freeze drying has become an essential part of the biotech industry, where removing the aqueous and solvent solutions from the biologic prevents degradation and preserves the […]
Diagnostics
Freeze Drying of Diagnostics and Reagents: An Essential Industry Tool Diagnostic products are notoriously sensitive to light, oxygen, and temperature, making freeze drying an elemental industry tool to reduce the risks of long-term storage. Through features such as freeze drying at consistent low temperatures, backfilling product vials with inert dry gas before sealing, opaque freeze […]
