Lyobeads Are The Hottest Thing In Freeze Drying For Pharma

By Brandon Cole

Lyophilization is a freeze-drying process that removes water from a product after it is frozen and placed under a vacuum, producing a soft powder, sometimes referred to as a cake. If we take that process and apply it to a single droplet of liquid, we are creating a lyo ‘bead’ rather than a lyo ‘cake.’ Discover the potential of lyobeads and why they are an excellent alternative to the traditional cakes.
