Hydrogels and Aerogels: Creating the ‘Coolest’ Next-Gen Materials Through Lyophilization

Lyophilization is a dehydration method that involves the removal of solvent from a frozen sample under vacuum, resulting in a porous structure with preserved physical and chemical properties. This technique is particularly important for the creation of next-generation materials such as hydrogels and aerogels due to its ability to maintain the nanopore structures, stability, and functionality of delicate biomaterials and polymers.

Riboflavin Coverage Test

One way to evaluate cleaning processes, especially in intricate setups, is through the riboflavin coverage test. The test offers a reliable approach to comprehensively evaluate the thoroughness of cleaning coverage, employing the unique properties of riboflavin as a tracer substance.
