Controlled nucleation is essential for obtaining high-quality lyophilized products with intra-and inter-batch consistency. Two approaches to achieving controlled nucleation have been investigated recently: creating a pressure differential and using an ice fog to insert seed crystals into the vials within the lyophilization chamber.
Morrisa Jones, Senior Scientist, Vaccine Drug Product Development Merck, will be delivering the opening address on day one where she will be comparing and contrasting two methods of controlled nucleation from an industry perspective.
This year’s event will look towards the future of lyophilization. Network with industry experts, discuss regulatory challenges and unmet needs within lyophilization, gain insights into innovative technologies and strategies to overcomechallenges within freeze-drying, discover new methods of scale-up and technology transfer, and explore alternative processes beyond conventional lyophilization.
The two-day event will explore the ever-growing need of informative and thought-provoking discussion, toaddress key industry issues.Lyophilization USA Conference will offer a jam-packed agenda with presentations from key industry leaders and up-and-coming thinkers, within the field.
