Lyophilization Technology Demonstration Facility
LyoHUB MISSION: The goal of the Advanced Lyophilization Technology Hub (LyoHub) is to advance the science and technology of freeze-drying/ lyophilization. LyoHub’s members include companies in the pharmaceutical and food processing sectors, equipment manufacturers and university researchers, who combine their expertise and resources to accomplish the goal. Immediate objectives are: (i) to identify and disseminate Best Practices for lyophilization equipment performance, testing and validation and (ii) to conduct applied research to advance lyophilization processes and products.
In February 2016, LyoHUB opened the Lyophilization Technology Demonstration Facility located in the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue Discovery Park. The facility, where collaboration on breakthrough technologies can be advanced with a goal of accelerating adoption and decreasing time to market, is equipped and supported by LyoHUB’s industry members. The facility also offers various hands-on training opportunities for academic and industry users.
The facility, located in BRK 2261, includes an 800 square foot laboratory space and auxilliary utilities corridor. This facility is a new recharge center in Birck Nanotechnology Center’s Biocore cluster and is being used for lyophilization research, development and pilot demonstration projects.
