Hats off to Edwards Vacuum, VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG, ULVAC Technologies, Inc., Atlas Copco and many more for their advancements and contributions in #freezedrying technology. #lyophilization - Reducing vacuum level assists in lowering the vapor pressure of water. With freeze drying technology, the cellular structure is preserved when the frozen specimen is pulled under vacuum which flashes off the frozen water into a gas quickly, skipping the liquid phase. #DidYouKnow: The first freeze-drying technique was developed during World War II for the preservation of blood plasma! #automationinnovation
