Lyophilization Cycle Development

Whether your company hopes to improve current processes or explore what is possible, our team of engineering professionals and scientists are ready to safely develop Lyo-cycles for your pharma program in our state-of-the-art facilities. 

Our products can range from antibody conjugates, collagen complexes, pre- and pro-biotics, flow cytometry reagents. Comp bead calibration solutions, flow cytometry excipients, magnetic beads and pretty much any material that can be suspended in excipient and lyophilized. Let’s get your materials in a more stable form through lyophilization. We will help you develop the critical parameters that are necessary for the repeatable and reproducible end products required to meet your product goals.

Our Facilities

Located on our main campus in Albany, OR, Oregon is a new low bioburden ISO 5 / BSL 2 facility where we can safely develop Lyo-cycles for your custom product or material.  In addition to smaller scale programs in the new Research and Development facility, we have a variety of bulk lyophilization dryers in our facilities that can scale for Pre-clinical, clinical, or commercial volumes.

Our Development and Clinical Facility features:

  • Millrock pilot scale dryer
  • Clinical dryer [1/10 scale]
  • Commercial dryer
  • Aseptic clean rooms
  • World-class infrastructure to help develop and commercialize your product
  • State of the art lab for materials testing and validation

Our Commercial production facility features:

  • Pre-lyophilization steps, including but not limited to mixing and filtering
  • Lyophilization Chambers
  • Separate cold rooms
  • In-process analytical and environmental laboratory

Our Technology

OFD BioPharma is on the cusp of introducing a patented new delivery platform for shelf-stable materials that will revolutionize the distribution and accessibility of pharmaceutical solutions. This platform will reliably lyophilize precise quantities ranging from 5ul to 250µl. 

This platform will provide:

  • Flexible dosage range
  • Maximized dose count per lot
  • Cost effectiveness per dose
  • Varied delivery applications

Featured Case Study

Nutritional Supplement Probiotic Viability

A leader in the probiotic nutritional supplement space recently approached us and asked if we would be willing to participate in a shelf life viability comparison study using two of their probiotic strains.
