How to choose the lyophilizer for biopharmaceutical applications

Shanghai Tuofeng Bio-pharmaceutical freeze dryer

The lyophilizer used in the biopharmaceutical field is mainly used for the production of drugs such as serum, plasma, vaccine, enzyme, antibiotic, hormone, etc.; biochemical inspection drugs, immunology and bacteriology; drugs; blood, bacteria, arteries, bones Long-term preservation of skin, cornea, nerve tissue and various organs. The selection of the refrigeration system equipment shall be selected according to the comprehensive considerations of the refrigerant used, the cooling capacity, the environmental conditions and the use occasions; the main dimensions shall be determined by the thermal calculation and heat transfer calculation.

1, the form of the condenser

The condenser of the lyophilizer has two types: external type and built-in type. The external condenser and the lyophilization box are two independent parts, and they are connected by a large-diameter passage with an isolation valve. The advantage is that the freeze-drying box and the condenser are far apart, and the temperature of the two does not affect each other. When entering and leaving the box, the freeze-drying box and the condenser can close the valve and isolate each other, and the freeze-drying box is pre-frozen and out of the box. The condensing of the condenser can be carried out separately, does not affect each other, and saves the entire production cycle time. The disadvantage is that the investment cost is higher and the floor space is larger. The built-in condenser places the coil or metal adsorbing the sublimated water vapor in the freeze-drying box, and the freeze-drying box and the condenser are integrated. The advantage is that the sublimation passage is very close, the water vapor flow resistance is small, and the manufacturing cost is low. The short footprint is due to the small distance between the condensed cooling surface and the layer of the product to be discharged, which has some influence on the temperature. When the lyophilization is finished, the condenser still needs to continue to cool, otherwise the ice on the condenser surface It will dissolve, and the water will continue to drip in the freeze-drying box, which will affect the residual moisture content of the product. When the condenser is defrosted, the freeze-drying box can not be pre-frozen, affecting the next batch of time, and prolonging the whole production cycle. The user can select the form of the condenser according to the specific situation.

2. The production of GMP standard drugs meets the requirements of GMP.

According to this requirement, the surface of the freeze-drying box, the laminar layer, the condenser and the water vapor adsorption are all made of stainless steel, and the door of the freeze-drying box should be opened to the clean area. The structure of the freeze-drying machine should be conducive to closing the clean area and the machine room. Isolation, the production of some important drugs also requires the lyophilization tank and condenser to be sterilized with steam. The above requirements must be stated in advance when ordering, so that the manufacturer can manufacture according to the requirements of the user. Freeze-dryers with steam sterilization are expensive and therefore expensive, and should be cleaned with clean steam. Users should make decisions based on long-term interests.

3, about the box inside the plug device

At present, freeze-drying machines at home and abroad can be equipped with an internal pressure plugging device, which has three functions.

*It is used to freeze the whole bottle in the box after lyophilization. The plug on the small bottle is a special plug with a gap. It is placed on each bottle mouth immediately after the packing. Because the plug has a gap, it does not affect sublimation. Drying, at the end of lyophilization, it can be plugged under vacuum, or it can be filled with nitrogen, which not only reduces the production process, but also reduces the chance of product contamination.

The second is to facilitate the entry and exit of the product, especially for large-scale freeze-drying machines. When the box is lowered, the layer is lowered, the upper layer is advanced, and then the side is raised. When the box is out, the lower layer is first discharged, and then the side is lowered. It is avoided to use the stool or ladder to enter and exit the box. Of course, the piston rod should be designed on the top of the box to have this function. Some manufacturers do not have this function when designing the piston at the bottom of the box. The third is conducive to the cleaning work in the freeze-drying box. Since the layer can be raised and lowered, the freeze-drying box is easily accessible everywhere, which is convenient for cleaning. According to GMP requirements, the piston rods should be made of stainless steel. Some steam-sterilized lyophilizers also have a stainless steel bellows jacket on the piston rod to ensure strict sterilization in the freeze-drying box.

4. Automatic control system of freeze dryer

Automatic control system of freeze dryer Automatic control system of freeze dryer Many freeze dryers have automatic control system and have manual control functions at the same time, but there are great differences between the manufacturers in the automatic control mode. Must be clear.

The automatic control of the so-called freeze dryer should include two parts. First, the equipment of the freeze dryer automatically stops at the specified time according to the freeze-drying process requirements. Second, the temperature of the freeze-drying tank layer is automatically tracked according to the freeze-drying curve requirements. The whole freeze-drying process does not require manual operation. Of course, manual intervention can be performed if necessary. However, the automatic control of some freeze dryers is incomplete. Only the freeze-drying curve can be automatically tracked, and the rest must be manually operated.

The automatic control of some freeze dryers can only be completed after lyophilization. The tampon in the tank after the lyophilization is completed, the defrosting of the condenser and the steam sterilization cannot be carried out automatically. Manual operation is required, especially the steam disinfection part, because many valves are involved. Control, manual operation is more troublesome, should choose the lyophilizer of the automatic disinfection program.

Some lyophilizers use automatic microcomputers for convenient operation and programming. The displayed language is a freeze-drying language. It also has a fluorescent screen, a printer and a floppy disk. It can store dozens of frozen programs at the same time. Each program content can be displayed. The entire program content can be printed by the printer. The automatic control of the lyophilizer uses a meter, which is troublesome to operate and program, and has less lyophilization procedures that can be stored.

The recording instrument is also an important instrument for the freezer. It can record the vacuum of the actual freeze-dried process for later investigation. Most of the recording instruments use a multi-point recorder, which can be used for both point and direct operation. Text records, as well as digital display systems. Users should understand and choose according to the specific situation.

5. Intermediate sampling device, eutectic point measuring device, automatic inlet and outlet device and cooling water device

Intermediate sampling device, eutectic point measuring device, automatic inlet and outlet device and cooling water device Some manufacturers' lyophilizers can be equipped with intermediate sampling devices, and samples can be taken for observation and testing without damaging the vacuum during the lyophilizer. Decide on the freeze-drying process.

Some manufacturers' freeze dryers are equipped with a eutectic point measuring device that can detect the eutectic point of the product during the pre-freezing process and monitor whether the product melts during the sublimation process. Some manufacturers' freeze dryers can be equipped with automatic feeding and unloading devices to reduce the labor force and ensure that the products are not polluted. Some small and medium-sized freezers are not suitable for air cooling, and it is troublesome to be equipped with cooling tower circulation. A cooling water circulation device can be provided, which is equipped with a water pump, a water tank and a freezer, which can be configured to circulate with the portion of the lyophilizer that requires cooling water, and the freezer maintains the required water temperature.
