LYOPHILIZATION TECHNOLOGY
Cuddon has been involved in lyophilization technology and the design
and manufacture of lyophilization equipment since the early
1960s.Cuddon is are extremely proud of the international reputation it
has gained in this time.
Lyophilization
technology is the science behind the process commonly known as freeze
drying. Lyophilization is the removal of moisture from a pre frozen
product under a vacuum without passing through a liquid stage
(sublimation). Correct implementation of lyophilization technology will
result in a final product with a final moisture content of between 1-2%.
Correct
implementation of lyophilization technology simplifies aseptic handling
and enhances stability of dry powder, without excessive heating of the
product. Other advantages of using lyophilization technology include
the rapid dissolution of the reconstituted product, lyophilization
preserves biological activity along with structure, general colour and
taste. Lyophilization also results in extended product shelf life and
nutritional value.
Cuddon
General Purpose Lyophilizers range from 18kg to 1500kg condenser
capacity, with shelf temperature ranges from +70 to -35 deg C and a ice
condenser temperatureas low as -55 deg C.
The
test criteria for the Cuddon General Purpose Lyophilizator equipment is
to sublimate the condenser capacity of ice in 24 hours.
The
implementation of lyophilization technology is well suited to most
products which contain moisture. Although implementing lyophilization
technology is costly and the equipment complex, the process and
finished product is generally considered to be of superior quality and
high value return.
