LYOPHILIZATION

Freeze drying, or lyophilization, is a method of removing water from various materials. Lyophilization of enzymes, antibodies, and sensitive biological materials is the method of choice for extending the shelf life of these products and preserving their biological activity. By preparing dilute solutions of biological materials, dispensing the solution in tubes or vials, and then lyophilizing them it is possible to reproducibly distribute minute quantities of reagents into thousands of tubes with minimal tube-to-tube variation. Quality Bioresources, Inc. will dispense and lyophilize your materials, employing strict controls at each stage to assure that the final product is within your specifications.
