Lyophilization
Definition
Lyophilization, commonly known as freeze-drying, is a dehydration process used to preserve peptides and other biologics. The process involves freezing the peptide solution, then reducing the surrounding pressure to allow the frozen water to sublimate directly from solid to gas. This produces a stable, lyophilized powder that maintains peptide integrity and can be stored long-term at low temperatures. Reconstitution with bacteriostatic water restores the peptide to its active solution form.
