Description

Discover the science behind pharmaceutical freeze drying in this educational animation! Freeze drying, or lyophilization, is the process of removing water from drug products to ensure long-term stability. 

Objectives

Take a look inside the freeze dryer and see how the different components work together – including the product chamber, condenser, vacuum, refrigeration, and heating systems. Follow each stage of the process, from freezing to primary and secondary drying, and see how precise temperature and pressure control transform ice crystals directly into vapor. Witness the final steps as the dried product is sealed and prepared for use in healthcare.
