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.

A Thermal Analysis Technique That Combines Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Light Microscopy
TASC is a powerful technique to gain structural phase information, similar to DSC, from a range of our temperature control stages including the DSC450 and THMS600. This article discusses the advantages of this technique, with specific reference to its application in the analysis of polymer blends for drug delivery.
