Note: The basics of each course are universal in scope, and much of our training is broadly applicable to all lyophilizers, not just our own. Anyone may register and attend. Although the design of the course is generic, a participant should expect to receive an overview of Hull freeze dryer operations.
Each course builds upon the preceding one and creates a complete training package.
April 12-14
September 13-15
This program is a survey course covering fundamental lyophilizer operations using terminology and concepts explained in everyday language.
The course will begin with an overview of lyophilization. The effects of temperature, pressure, heat transfer, and vapor flow upon the freeze drying process will be explained and related to the operation of the freeze dryer. As the course progresses, each key lyophilizer sub-system will be reviewed in detail as it relates to the control of these critical parameters.
