SP Industries has announced a new Webinar entitled, 'Reducing cycle optimization time and costs utilizing SMART™ Freezer-Dryer technology' to enable formulation groups to gain insight into efficient and cost-effective strategies for streamlining automated cycle optimisation.

The 30-minute Webinar, which addresses the concerns that many formulation groups face with freeze dryer cycle optimization, includes presentations and a Q&A session moderated by Dr Henning Gieseler (Associate Professor, University of Erlingen) and Leslie Mather (Director, Pilot Freeze Dryers, SP Industries).

If having more time in drug development and manufacturing operations, understanding freeze drying Process Analytical Technology or saving thousands of dollars on lyophilisation cycle development are important to you then email SMART@SPindustries.com to register for the free December 4th 2008 Webinar.

SMART™ Freeze-Dryer Technology is a patented system that puts the experience of the world's top lyophilization scientists into an easy-to-use cycle development tool. Developed exclusively with leading academics SMART™ Freeze-Dryer Technology relates to the automated process control of using manometric temperature measurement and is designed to eliminate the trial-and-error approach normally involved in developing new lyophilization cycles. It enables experts and novices alike to develop new cycles quickly, while also ensuring that those cycles are elegant and efficient. The SMART tools provide instant feedback on important product data - such as product resistance, heat flow, and product thickness - that was previously unavailable.

SP Industries is a leading manufacturer of specialty glassware, environmental control chambers, glassware washers and dryers, centrifugal evaporators, and laboratory-to-production scale lyophilizers. The company sells its products under the following well-known brands: Wilmad-LabGlass®, Hotpack®, VirTis®, FTS™, Genevac® and Hull®. SP Industries has ISO 9001:2000 registered production facilities in the USA and Europe. The company continues to invest heavily in validation and commissioning competencies. With the ongoing requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 and the emergence of GAMP 4, SP Industries is uniquely positioned as a leader in compliance and GAMP 4 commitment.

Biomanufacturing Symposium
Operational excellence strategies between biopharmaceutical developers and manufacturers

Date: 08.10.2008
Time: 08:30 - 18:00 hrs
Location: Convention Center (CC), room Bonn
Language: English
Participation fee:
- 280,00 EUR Industry
- 115,00 EUR Academica
