Freeze drying is generally known to be a time consuming and therefore expensive process. In order to lower costs during manufacturing, the effective cycle time must be reduced.

Applying PAT in the laboratory can provide valuable information about product and process behaviour and may help to identify the critical process parameters during cycle development and optimisation.
