Improve drug stability and extend shelf-life | Receive key Lyophilisation case studies and presentations
London, Southwark (PRWEB UK) 26 April 2014 -- The increasing popularity of biotechnologically manufactured drugs has created a challenge for the pharmaceutical companies that produce them. Such drugs are more often far more ‘delicate’ than more conventional compounds. Lyophilisation, a process of ‘preservation’ that actually dates back thousands of years, is one of the more effective ways of giving these new drugs greater stability and a longer shelf-life, while still maintaining their effectiveness. For drug manufacturers, the challenge may at first appear daunting, but it is one that must be met if the compounds being developed are to be successful.
