Specialist Freeze-Drying for Sensitive Materials
Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, removes water from sensitive materials under reduced pressure and controlled temperature. Inovix Biosciences treats every cycle as project-specific: defined around the individual material and formulation, not applied as a single universal recipe.
A Multi-Stage Process
Freezing
The material is cooled until fully solidified. Freezing rate and end temperature influence ice structure, which affects drying behavior and the physical form of the finished cake.
Primary Drying
Under reduced pressure, frozen water is removed directly from solid to vapor. Shelf temperature and chamber pressure are controlled to remove the bulk of the water without collapsing the structure.
Secondary Drying
Remaining bound water is reduced under higher temperature and low pressure, to reach a defined target residual moisture appropriate for the material.
What Each Cycle Depends On
Freeze-drying is project-specific. The following characteristics are considered during assessment before a cycle is defined:
Freeze-drying is a physical processing step. It does not, by itself, guarantee stability, sterility or any regulatory status. Suitability and outcomes depend on the specific material and formulation, and are evaluated on a project basis.
