Biopharma Group’s specialist tutors have many years practical lyophilisation experience including substantial knowledge of the challenges of operating an efficient and robust freeze drying process and the experience to trouble shoot your problems. Along with regularly scheduled courses offered in the UK, Europe & USA, there are also options for customised & webinar based courses too.
The unique characteristics of each product type, formulation and application mean that every project presents a different and new set of challenges. Our highly experienced scientists provide contract R&D alongside analytical lab services from formulation development through to specialist post-process analysis that ensure the success of your project.
Determining critical temperatures is fundamental to the freeze drying process. Biopharma Group specialists have designed and developed advanced analytical instruments specifically to aid those employing freeze drying technologies within their production or research projects.
As a group, we have several dedicated divisions covering the UK, France, Ireland and USA, each with the aim to meet the precise needs of our customers’ projects appropriate to the size and stage by augmenting their in-house expertise whether to buy equipment, training, a single cycle run/ analysis or a full formulation development programme and work together to make each project a success.
