Lyophilized Vials

Innovative Approaches for Lyophilization

We have considerable expertise in the process of lyophilization, which enables product stability and improved shelf life. Utilizing their extensive knowledge of biologics and small molecules, the scientists at our Lyophilization Center of Excellence have devised innovative approaches for optimizing formulation and cycle times for freeze-drying. These customized methodologies are used to convert liquid products into lyophilized form to produce the final product contained in the vial.
