Pharmaceutical scientists have long sought a reliable method of freeze-drying living cells (such as bacteria) without a large percentage of the cells dying. At the same time, the industry has also worked toward developing more efficient ways to identify and segregrate out a specific number of viable organisms per lyophilized unit. Now, a new process developed by researchers at BTF Precise Microbiology (Sydney, Australia), promises to provide both.
"BioBall" technology combines innovative temperature-cycling, polymer-based lyoprotectant technology, and fluorescence-activated ...
