2-Day Intensive Laboratory Training | Small Group Format | Certificate of Completion
This immersive program guides participants through the complete lyophilization process, from formulation and thermal analysis to cycle development, optimization, and troubleshooting, in a real working CDMO facility in Carlsbad, California. Unlike training center environments, attendees work alongside the same team and equipment used in active commercial production.
Taught by Dr. Kevin Ward, R&D Director at Biopharma Group for 26 years and practicing lyophilization since 1993. Kevin and his team have worked on over 5,000 projects for more than 500 clients across the globe and run more than 400 training courses.
What you’ll learn:
- Apply thermal characterization (DSC,impedance analysis) directly to cycle design; understand how to generate and interpret the data necessary to build a stable lyo cycle
- Translate that analytical data into practical cycle development steps; understand how freezing, annealing, primary and secondary drying combine to give you a reliable and consistent end product
- Build and run freeze-drying cycles based on real-time PAT data
- Troubleshoot problematic cycles with structured strategies such as: What has gone wrong? How do you fix it?
- Evaluate lyophilization cake appearance and identify defects
- Perform post-lyophilization analysis: moisture content, thermal properties, mechanical performance
- Transfer cycles between lyophilizers and scaling up from research to production.
This is a hands-on program, not a lecture series. Concepts are explored through direct, practical involvement in our working facility and guided by our expert team every step of the way. Certificate of completion provided.
