SP Scientific has announced new dates for its popular educational seminars and hands-on laboratory training courses in freeze drying techniques.

A new seminar 'Freeze Drying of Pharmaceuticals & Biologicals' has been developed in conjunction with Dr. Henning Gieseler and the University of Erlangen Freeze Drying Focus Group - one of the premier academic groups in the world focused on lyophilization. This series of one day seminars (Nov 14th, Nov 17th & Nov 18th 2011) will provide the novice with a basic freeze drying overview and the expert with up-to-date information on topics of interest to the lyophilization scientist operating in a pharmaceutical or biological environment. Scheduled question and answer sessions will provide attendees with the opportunity to have their own specific questions and concerns addressed. 

In response to the overwhelming demand for the 'Lyophilization Cycle Development & Optimization:  A Laboratory Based Approach' hands-on training course delivered by Dr Jeff Schwegman, a new session has been added for December 6-8th 2011. This course will focus on following the freeze drying process from formulation and thermal analysis to cycle development and optimization, packaging and troubleshooting.  Attendees at the training course will have the chance to optimize their learning experience by using tangible applications in a controlled setting.  SP Scientific's 3-day training courses have been designed to enable people involved with lyophilisation, at all levels of experience, to gain considerable benefit and network with fellow professionals.
