Lyophilization Development Services
Background Services Capabilities FAQs Resources
As a leader in novel LBP development, Creative Biolabs provides the most advanced facilities, capabilities, and expertise to accelerate the discovery, manufacturing, and clinical application of LBPs. Our standard lyophilization procedure has been widely applied to produce viable cultures in dried powder form.
Background
To be of practical use and convenience to consumers, probiotic bacteria must be formulated in a usable form often dehydrated through lyophilization (freeze-drying). Because LBPs are live organisms (bacteria or yeast), the dose and the viability of probiotic strains are important criteria for probiotic efficacy during storage. The therapeutic efficiency strongly depends on the viability of probiotic microorganisms. Freeze-drying (lyophilization) has been the mainstay in the preservation of pharmaceutical and probiotic drugs. This method can maximumly retain the viability and functional properties of LBPs during the storage and passage through the stomach. Lyophilisation is a complex science, involving the dehydration by sublimation of ice present within the molecules. Our specialist scientists are active in the field of lyophilization, with many years of practical experience. We have substantial knowledge of the challenges of operating an efficient and robust freeze-drying process and the experience to troubleshoot your problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is lyophilization?
Lyophilization involves creating a stable preparation of a substance by freezing it and then dehydrating the frozen product under a high vacuum. Under controlled temperature and pressure, water sublimes directly from the solid state into vapor, bypassing the liquid phase 1.
Why is lyophilization important?
-
Stability: Lyophilization preserves the stability of sensitive compounds, such as microorganisms, proteins, enzymes, and vaccines.
-
Long Shelf Life: It extends the shelf life of pharmaceuticals by preventing degradation.
-
Transport and Storage: Lyophilized products are easier to transport and store.
Resources
Lyophilization stabilizes the product, concentrates large quantities down to a very small volume, increases its potency, and produces sizable batches, as well as makes it very easy to transport and store. As a leader in LBP discovery solutions, Creative Biolabs provides full lyophilization services spanning many organisms, industries, and production volumes. Our lyophilization can maximumly retain the viability and functional properties and is relatively low cost. If you are interested in our services, please feel free to contact us.
