BTL has world-renowned expertise in freeze drying and we pride ourselves on offering the most thorough and up-to-date Freeze Drying Training Courses for the Pharmaceutical / Biotechnology industries.
We have been conducting training courses in freeze drying technology since 1997, with regular fixtures in the UK, US and the Netherlands.
BTL’s training courses are designed to offer participants with an in-depth understanding of the theory and applications of lyophilisation. The courses have been designed and developed to benefit those working in lyophilisation, whether new to the subject or experienced, and across a variety of disciplines and job roles.
We present the knowledge from practice and experience – not just text books.
