PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

MICROPRESS ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENT

SPECIALIST INSTRUMENTATION FOR QUANTIFYING LYO CAKE ROBUSTNESS

Designed & developed by dedicated technicians at Biopharma Group, the MicroPress offers a quantitative solution for determining the robustness & strength of lyophilized cakes. 

 

WHY THE MICROPRESS!

  • Determine key parameters for cake quality: MicroPress uses a linear actuator to gently compress the cake to determine the stiffness (Young’s Modulus) and strength (max stress at failure) of lyophilised cakes
  • Easily measure physical properties: Identify vials with collapse, microcollapse & crust formation
  • Quick analysis time: As standard, less than 1 minute, in situ analysis – no sample prep required, quickly compare multiple vials
  • Integrated software: The resulting stress-strain profile captured during analysis is then exportable to Microsoft Excel for further interpretation
  • Ensure product quality to the point of delivery: Determine how the cake will behave during handling and shipment

“I worked with BTL and they provided an excellent service to Waters at the development phase of our project.

Both Dr. Laura Ciccolini and Mr. Nick White were very helpful and professional, [they] not only assisted me with the project but also gave me an understanding of the Freeze Drying process. The personnel at BTL are the experts in their field of freeze drying and really supportive to me as a client in our development phase and were really focused in adding value and optimising the process throughout.

I would highly recommend BTL for all Freeze Drying project and would 100% use them again.”

“I would like to give my appreciation for the great service that we received from you [BTL] last year.

When I first contacted your company, my intent was to register myself to one of your Lyo course, unfortunately the regular course schedule didn’t meet my needs so Dr. Laura suggested to try and arrange this course here in Israel. After few email to my colleagues, I was [surprised] to see the actual demand that I got for this course, at the end, I found myself arranging Lyo Bespoke Course for more than 30 colleagues across 3 sites.

Due to Dr. Laura help and dedication, we were able to arrange this course in 3 months […]. The course was great and it met our needs.”
