Innovative Storage Techniques for Lyophilized Laboratory Samples

Event Description

Lyophilization, or freeze drying, is a common laboratory technique used in a wide range of applications. Tissues, vaccines, food, chemical compounds, circuit boards, artifacts and more can all be preserved using this technique. However, the ultimate question remains, "How do we keep our samples safe once they are lyophilized?" Proper sample storage is equally as important as proper drying and can sometimes present far more challenging hurdles to overcome. This webinar will examine the intricacies of preserving traditional and nontraditional samples in the lab and introduce new, emerging methods of sample preservation.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss current methods for lyophilization and sealing under vacuum

• Explore new methods for preservation of large, nontraditional samples

• Outline small scale solutions for vial stoppering

• Discover techniques for enhanced sample stability and how to preserve aseptic sample conditions
