When is it frozen?

by

Thomas A. Jennings, Ph.D.

It has been more than thirty years since I first heard those words freeze-drying and knowing nothing about the subject I felt like a Novice. In the passing years, I  have become a bit more sophisticated and now prefer to define the process as lyophilization. But still  there are more questions than I have answers, so in a sense I still feel as if I am a Novice. As a result, I dedicate this INSIGHT to all the other Novices in the world to let them know that they are not alone. So this INSIGHT will address the question of  “When is it frozen?” through the eyes of a Novice.
