Single-use, enclosed freeze-drying trays that keep product in the tray during the lyophilization process. GORE LYOGUARD Freeze-Drying Trays are fully enclosed, single-use, disposable containers that use expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane technology to contain and protect liquid or lyophilized active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) during the entire freezedrying process. Keeping liquid or lyophilized API in stainless steel trays is a challenging and time-consuming problem during processing. GORE LYOGUARD Freeze-Drying Trays were designed in consultation with industry experts to contain product during the freeze-drying process. For nearly 20 years, manufacturers have trusted GORE LYOGUARD Trays to help minimize the risk of exposure to APIs and Highly-Potent APIs, and to enable operators to spend less time worrying about product ejection and cleaning. These disposable trays are ideal bulk lyophilization containers, because the GORE Membrane — an integrated 100% ePTFE tray cover — can enable improved process efficiencies and yields, and reduced risk of operator exposure. Unique to this lyophilization tray is its GORE Membrane — an integrated 100% ePTFE tray cover that provides: a built-in protective barrier that keeps contaminants out a permanently-attached cover to safely contain product, unlike steel trays a high vapor transmission rate, so water and solvent vapors are readily released GORE LYOGUARD Freeze-Drying Trays can simplify processing by eliminating many cleaning operations, and can enable greater safety in handling a wide variety of fluid and lyophilized drug products, including:
