  • METHOD OF MICROWAVE VACUUM DRYING SPHERICAL-SHAPED PELLETS OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20210048247
    Abstract: Methods for preparing dried pellets of biological materials are described. The pellets can have a substantially spherical shape and are prepared by freezing droplets of a liquid composition of a desired biological material on a solid surface followed by microwave vacuum drying the frozen droplets. These methods are useful for preparing dried pellets having a high concentration of a desired biological material, in particular a therapeutic protein or vaccine, and which have a faster reconstitution time than lyophilized powder cakes prepared in vials.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 27, 2020
    Publication date: February 18, 2021
    Applicant: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
    Inventors: Akhilesh Bhambhani, Robert K. Evans, Jessica Sinacola, Rebecca Lizzano
