BTL is pleased to co-host this free half-day event, highlighting some of the key technological advances in freeze drying.
This meeting will showcase presentations highlighting the latest developments from academia and industry perspectives on the new frontiers of freeze drying and the potential application in formulation and process development.
The seminars focus on the advances of analytical technologies such as freeze-drying microscopy, frequency modulated spectroscopy and controlled ice nucleation and their application developing new freeze drying practices and products.
The event is being held at the Babraham Institute, a BBSRC-funded campus in Cambridge, UK, with world-class life science research facilities.
