GORE™ LYOGUARD® Freeze-Drying Containers

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® Freeze-Drying Containers can significantly reduce the risk of cross-contamination and product loss due to fly-out. These features help to provide:

• Increased consistency and accuracy of results during research and testing
• Maintained purity and sterility of early phase compounds being studied 
• Reduced costs and time associated with cleaning, and often sterilizing, between each run

Realize the Benefits of GORE™ LYOGUARD® Freeze-Drying Containers

• Reduce or eliminate timely and cumbersome cleaning and cleaning validation
• Improve product sterility assurance
• Enhance worker safety
• 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® Containers are constructed of polypropylene and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). The microporous ePTFE membrane is incorporated in a removable screw-top, protecting the product from cross-contamination and offering the perfect balance between vapor transmission rate and barrier properties. The ePTFE tray surface is:

• chemically inert
• liquid resistant / hydrophobic
• biocompatible
• non-particulating
• thermal stable
