Freeze-drying of biopharmaceuticals has become a routine procedure, which leads to an increase in product stability. LYOFAST is the pre-engineered cost-effective, reliable and efficient standard solution.
Freeze-drying of biopharmaceuticals has become a routine procedure, which leads to an increase in product stability. LYOFAST is the pre-engineered cost-effective, reliable and efficient standard solution.
The freeze drying process has important applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and pharmaceutical freeze drying is now a standard process used to stabilize, store or increase the shelf life of drug products and other biologicals.
LYOFAST is IMA Life solution to keep freeze-drying competitive as a pharmaceutical processing step.
For either bulk format or liquid in vials, ampoules or syringes, the LYOFAST units are designed for freeze drying high value products, such as: vaccines, antibiotics, cytostatics, biologicals, hormones, active ingredients, and reactives.
IMA Lyofast freeze dryers embody the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry for faster, safer, cheaper and more ecologically friendly processes:
• The IMA Life patented FusionTM shelves reduce energy consumption typically in heating, cooling and steam sterilization thus achieving a reduction in energy costs and fast temperature response. The FusionTM shelves allow for a 20% reduction in weight leading to reduced energy consumption during freeze drying and sterilization.
• PAT tools reduce overall process time and energy consumption.
