Abstract

A Novel Method for High Throughput Lyobead Formation in Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing

Rob Rich, Sales Director, North America (West), BioDot, Inc.

Lyophilization and lyophilized products have been a foundational aspect of diagnostic kit manufacturing for decades. While cake lyophilization can address product stability, cold chain management, and material shipping weight issues, the formulation and formation of individual lyophilized beads offer developers and manufacturers with new dimensions in dose management, precision, and flexibility. Effectiveness and yields in lyobead formation are driven by volume precision and consistency in morphology. The BioJet™ dispensing technology from BioDot™ addresses each these critical aspects of lyobead production, all at high throughput. We will discuss the data and technology behind this novel approach.
