Lyobeads
Biopharma Group offers its expertise in revolutionary lyobead technology. Lyobeads are small customisable spheres of a specific volume mastermix, different from lyo-cakes, which typically appear flat and circular to fill a vial. Lyobeads are achieved through snap freezing using liquid nitrogen or polymeric gelation. Millions of reaction units a month can be produced in Biopharma Group’s laboratory.
Lyobeads are advantageous because:
- the formulation can be easily modified for several applications
- these applications can be stored at different room temperatures
- a high throughput leads to increased manufacturing rate
- the beads are stable
- the beads have a rapid reconstitution time
Why QbD (Quality by Design) is an important element of your drying process R&D, as explained by Biopharma Group’s Dr. Kevin Ward:
Contract Manufacturing:
Contract Manufacturing of Liquid and Freeze Dried Products
Specialists can support you with the following:
Biopharma Group offers contract manufacturing services using both freeze drying and spray drying methods; comparable studies are available to determine which drying process is most suitable for your project.
The recent four-fold increase of freeze drying capabilities in our ISO 13485 accredited laboratory, offers limitless scope for scalable, state-of-the-art manufacturing, increasing the efficiency and throughput of each batch.
If powdery material is required to be produced in a continuous mode, spray drying could be a suitable option. The continuous nature of spray drying can be extremely time and cost effective for bulk manufacturing for suitable products.
We work with small, medium and large volumes over a variety of different products and formats, including vials, tubes, well-plates, strips, bulk and beads.
By choosing to pair with our contract research, development and manufacturing services, Biopharma Group’s unmatched standards of procurement and expertise provide efficient end-to-end development support for product and process.
We have several SP Scientific dryers in-house, ranging from benchtop freeze dryers to pilot R&D freeze dryers.
