Description In this brief informative presentation segment the focus is on the application of freeze-drying for tissues and collagen preservation. We touch on some of the intricacies of tissue drying cycles, emphasizing the importance of maintaining low temperatures and consistent freezing rates. Also highlighted are the significance of understanding critical
Ian Flynn is a graduate student at Purdue University under Dr. Alina Alexeenko researching mechanical stresses experienced by vials during lyophilization. He received a BA in chemistry and BS in neuroscience from Indiana University in 2021 and will complete his MS in chemical engineering from Purdue in 2022. His interests
Abstract This webinar will discuss unique events that occur during the freezing process, within a freeze dryer. Understanding the cause and effect of heat-flow is key to more efficient sublimation and better product quality. Seemingly random events during the freezing process are given more order as heat flow is understood
Abstract Lyophilization systems have a range of setup formats for material, programmability, shelf configuration, operational parameters and size. Choosing the right instrument for specific collagen or Tissue Banking applications is part of the needs assessment and service we provide to our customers. With the right consultative approach from Millrock Technology,
Abstract Freezing is a critical stage in the freeze-drying process, serving as the foundation for a successful cycle. This brief webinar explores the significance of proper freezing, the potential problems that can arise during this phase, and the impact of freezing rate on the overall process. It also discusses the
Dr. Maria Badal Tejedor is associate principal scientist at Cepheid. She is responsible for the lyophilization research strategy to improve drying cycle efficiency and product stability.

Presentation by T.N. Thompson, Founder and President of Millrock Technology In this presentation on freeze-drying, T.N. Thompson provides an introductory overview of the freeze-drying process. Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, involves three main steps: freezing, primary drying (sublimation), and secondary drying. Proper freezing is essential for a robust freeze-drying cycle.
