SP Scientific has announced its
Summer 2014 program of LyoLearn webinars.
The LyoLearn program of free educational webinars, delivered by industry
experts, are devoted to lyophilization, freeze-drying and related
topics. Attendees to the live sessions are encouraged to ask questions of
the presenter and get their answers in real time.
On 25th June 2014 - Peter Stäertzel* of GILYOS GmbH will present 'Principles
of Formulation Design' - an informative webinar that provides an
introduction to freeze drying of L-arginine-based formulation systems. It
includes a discussion of physicochemical and thermal properties of formulations
containing different L-arginine-based excipient combinations. The influence of
the type of L-arginine counter ion will be highlighted as well as drying
performance and final product characteristics to assess the relevant key
considerations if using L-arginine-based protein formulations.
Common Misconceptions in Freeze-Drying (II) is a webinar
presentation, due to air on 26th July 2014, that addresses some of the
most common misconceptions in freeze-drying (lyophilization) relating to
formulations, process cycles, equipment and scale-up. The presentation
follows on from Common Misconceptions in Freeze-Drying (I)
which discussed basics of the product, process and equipment. In
this presentation, Kevin Ward of BioPharma Technology Ltd. will challenge some
of the myths and misunderstandings relating to the measurement of shelf and
product temperatures, the use of some PAT tools and the scalability of
parameters from the lab to full-scale manufacturing.
LyoLearn webinars follow a 45-minute format for the presentations with a
Q&A session immediately afterwards. To learn more about or register
