SP Scientific Licenses Praxair's ControLyo Nucleation Technology
SP Scientific (Gardiner, NY) has signed a license agreement to use Praxair's (Danbury, CT) ControLyo nucleation-on-demand technology, which provides pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with control over the freeze-drying process for drug developmental efforts.
SP Scientific (Gardiner, NY) has signed a license agreement to use Praxair's (Danbury, CT) ControLyo nucleation-on-demand technology, which provides pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with control over the freeze-drying process for drug developmental efforts.
The ControLyo technology was specifically developed to control the freezing step of lyophilization. In traditional lyophilization, the freezing step is uncontrolled because of the random nature of the nucleation or crystal-forming process. The ControLyo technology, however, controls the nucleation temperature to within 1 °C of its freezing point, which improves product uniformity, quality, and yield, and can reduce cycle times by as much as 40%.
The Solution Lies with SOLBIOTE™: Achieving Sustainability, a Growing Focus in Biopharma
October 28th 2024The nexus between biopharmaceuticals and sustainability is seemingly far apart, however, it is increasingly recognized as an inevitable challenge. It is encouraged to take a sustainable approach to reducing the environmental impact of the production and supply of medicines while improving people's health; delivering the well-being of people and the planet. Yosuke Shimojo (Technical Value Support Section Manager, Nagase Viita) will unveil how SOLBIOTE™, a portfolio of injectable-grade saccharide excipients, would be a key for the biopharmaceutical development and achieving sustainability for a better future of the industry.
