Lyophilization Process Development Workshop October 15-17, 2018 Hooke College of Applied Sciences Westmont, Illinois In this freeze drying short course, you’ll work in small groups to examine formulations containing pharmaceutical excipients. Each group builds data sets for their formulation using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), freeze dry microscopy and micro freeze dryers. Thermal analysis equipment is…

Millrock Technology is pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at the 2018 CPPR Freeze Drying of Pharmaceuticals & Biologics Conference, Sept 18-21, 2018 at the Dorint Hotel, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. We will present on our MicroFD® technology at 9:40am on the 20th. Additionally, there will be other presentations and posters presenting data on our…

Researchers often ask what the difference is in controlled nucleation techniques and if ice fog added measurable ice to the product.   Tatsuhiro Kadama, PhD, from Daiichi Sankyo Parenteral Formulation Research Group and studying at Purdue University, took on this project.  With the help of Dr. Alina Alexeenko, a high quality/resolution balance was borrowed, and ice…

Millrock is pleased to be designing and constructing a new Quanta Production Freeze Dryer for a US contract manufacturing organization. The Quanta is a 120 sq ft unit with stoppering shelves, clean-in-place (CIP), steam-in-place (SIP) and is 21CFR Part 11 compliant. Redundant components are included with automatic switch over in the case of a component…

Presented by Dr. Karen Bossert,  New Dates To Be Announced, in Kingston NY Taking a product from research and development to commercialization can be a daunting task, particularly for the organization that is introducing their first product to the market.
