Lyophilisation Training - 24 - 26 May 2022

Lyophilisation Fundamentals

Course Overview

PMTC in conjunction with BPS Crowthorne are providing this special hands-on course which will be delivered Face to Face, is useful for anyone in Research and Pharma industries. The UL course programme has been specifically constructed to follow up our 'Lyophilisation Product and Process Fundamentals' online course which took place from February 22nd to March 8th, 2022.
We will be demonstrating the practical aspects of the course covering: formulating, characterising, filling, loading and running a freeze drying cycle, and finishing with a critical examination of the finished product. Alongside the hands-on lab sessions we will be examining the use and value of different analytical equipment such as FDM, XRD etc.

For those who are new to freeze drying we provide an option to study the technical aspects of lyophilisation prior to the Limerick hands-on course by giving a special access to Biopharma Group's E- Learning Platform with a catalogue of pre-recorded freeze drying training videos.
The discount of £150 pounds towards the ‘Fundamentals of Freeze Drying - Science and Technology Modules’ will be available for those who wish to take advantage of this offer. Using this option also gives you the opportunity to send in questions ahead of the practical sessions.
