Misconceptions regarding the role of the condenser

By Thomas A. Jennings, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT: This issue of  INSIGHT addresses the role that the condenser plays during the lyophilization  process. It dispels the myth that there is some sort of “driving force” created by the low temperature of the condenser that sucks the water vapor from the product. In this INSIGHT you will learn what is the real driving force involved during the drying process.
