Telstar’s state-of-the-art lyophilization research and development laboratory is fully equipped with the most modern equipment available; including Linkam’s FDCS196 freeze-drying cryostage , Linkam’s LNP96-S liquid nitrogen cooling system and our programmable temperature controller, the T96-S to complete detailed process studies.
The importance of being small: miniaturisation of freeze drying equipment
Developmental activities for freeze-dried products are dictated by the limited availability and high cost of newly developed active compounds, and by Quality-by-Design requirements. Laboratory-scale freeze dryers used for formulation and process development show an excessive variety of designs and instrumentation concepts, making scale-up activities a challenge. The development of miniaturised equipment may provide enormous benefits in terms of development times and costs.
