NEW Tech Note: Benefits of Controlled Nucleation for Lyophilizing Bulk Material
Freezing is one of the critical steps of the lyophilization process, whether your container of choice is vial or bulk tray. In this tech note, scientists at Lyophilization Technology Inc. (LTI) explored the use of controlled ice nucleation (ControLyo®) with bulk materials in stainless steel. Two common model formulations of mannitol and sucrose were used in the studies to compare stochastic versus controlled nucleation processes. The results discussed some of the benefits of controlled ice nucleation and the need for comparison studies for your specific formulations.

NEW SP Service Critical Spares Flyer

This new flyer from SP Service can be downloaded and shared as a means to promote awareness around our new offering of critical spare parts kits for SP Hull & SP VirTis freeze dryers, including consumable, basic, and advanced packages.
January 2023 Price Increase

As another year approaches, the market challenges we’ve mutually encountered continue to remain and new ones have surfaced which are impacting costs. Although we’ve made progress in several areas, we continue to experience material shortages, extended lead times, supply chain constraints and increased operating costs. After a thorough review, SP will be implementing a fair and market balanced price increase effective January 1, 2023.   

Although we continue to proactively work on measures to contain our costs, our efforts are being outpaced by the issues referenced above. Unfortunately, many of the issues impacting our costs are out of our direct control and are the main drivers for the product level increases reflected in the 2023 price list. 

We cherish the partnership we’ve built with you over the years and thank you for the continued confidence you’ve shown us. We look forward to a mutually successful year in 2023! If you have any questions, please reach out to your Channel Manager.
