GORE® LYOGUARD® RD Containers

Lyoguard Container

Enable easier and more efficient multi-product processing

Preventing cross-contamination of products during research and development work is often a concern. Freeze-drying in open trays, containers or vials can lead to contamination of laboratory freeze-drying equipment that can be difficult to clean.


In situations where a lyophilizer may need to be used for multiple products, GORE® LYOGUARD® RD Containers can help reduce the risk of cross-contamination and product loss due to fly-out. These features provide:

  • Increased consistency and accuracy of results during research and testing
  • Reduced costs and time associated with cleaning, and often sterilizing, between each run

Realize the Benefits of GORE® LYOGUARD® RD Containers

  • Reduce or eliminate timely and cumbersome cleaning and cleaning validation
  • Optimize operations throughput by enabling shorter cycles
  • Enable multi-drug processing with reduced risk of cross-contamination
  • Ideal for research studies, scale-up evaluations, and lyophilization cycle definition

GORE® LYOGUARD® RD Containers are constructed of polypropylene and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). The microporous ePTFE membrane is incorporated in a removable screw-top, helping to protect the product from cross-contamination and offering the perfect balance between vapor transmission rate and barrier properties.
