Pharmaceutical Industry strictly follows Good Manufacturing Practices which is driven by quality production and accurate hygiene control. Most pharmaceutical manufacturers rely on quality control applications that are convenient to use saving both time and money and also helping them reduce the risk of contamination. Lyophilized culture is one among those quality control products.
What is Lyophilized Culture?
The process of lyophilisation was initially developed in 1906 and the technique currently applied by NCTC is an adaptation of the method used during World War II to preserve and transport blood serum. Lyophilisation or vacuum freeze-drying is the most commonly used method to preserve biological material like bacteria by desiccating the moisture from the sample. The process of lyophilisation involves initially freezing the sample and then drying it under a vacuum at very low temperatures. It is an application of physical phenomenon called sublimation which means, the transition of a substance from solid to a gaseous state without passing through the liquid phase.
