Controlling ice nucleation during lyophilization: process optimization of vacuum-induced surface freezing
Abstract: Biopharmaceuticals are often lyophilized to improve their storage stability. Controlling ice nucleation during the freezing step of the lyophilization process is desired to increase homogeneity of product properties across a drug product batch and shorten the primary drying time. The present communication summarizes the process optimization of the freezing process when using vacuum-induced surface freezing to control ice nucleation, in particular for amorphous samples. We characterized freeze-dried samples for solid state properties, and compared these to uncontrolled nucleated samples using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein. Freezing parameters were optimized to obtain complete nucleation, adequate cake resistance during the subsequent lyophilization cycle, and elegant cakes. We highlight the challenges associated with vacuum-induced surface freezing and propose optimized freezing parameters to control ice nucleation, enabling manufacturing of amorphous samples
