Course Summary

Beschrijving

This 1-day course focusses on giving a thorough introduction to pharmaceutical freeze drying.

Freeze-drying is a critical technique to guarantee the stability of sensitive biopharmaceutical products, such as antibody-drug conjugates and microorganisms. During this course, the basic and fundamental aspects of the freeze-drying technique will be explained from the bottom up. This includes:

formulation aspects
getting to know the equipment
learning to understand the first-principles of lyophilization
- including both heat and mass transfer mechanisms during freeze-drying

After that, the most important PAT tools which are commonly used in the field will be covered. Additionally, a novel continuous freeze-drying technology will be explored in detail. Finally, tour of the lab will be provided, along with interactive sessions on modeling and data analysis.

By the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of the key principles and processes involved in pharmaceutical freeze-drying. They will gain practical knowledge to design and optimize freeze-drying processes, select appropriate PAT tools, and troubleshoot common issues.
