Freeze drying workshops
We offer engaging, in-person “Introduction to freeze drying” workshops, to help researchers better understand and optimise their proceses.
These courses are suitable for those new to freeze-drying, as well as to anyone looking for a useful refresher. The sessions explore the following key topics in detail:
Introduction to Freeze-Drying
An overview of the history of freeze drying, the basic principles, key terminology and application areas.
The Thermal Treatment Step (Freezing)
We explore the critical first stage of the process, discussing how freezing conditions influence product structure, stability, and drying behaviour.
Primary and Secondary Drying
We dive into the core drying phases. Understand how ice sublimation occurs during primary drying, how residual moisture is removed during secondary drying, and how process parameters impact product quality and batch efficiency.
Process Analytical Tools (PAT)
An overview of the tools and technologies used to monitor and control freeze-drying processes in real time. Learn how to interpret data and apply it to improve process robustness and scalability.
