Drying of APIs: Many APIs contain a large amount of water or other volatile solvents after synthesis or extraction, which need to be removed by drying. The drying oven can quickly remove these water and solvents at a lower temperature, avoiding degradation or inactivation of the drug due to high temperature, and ensuring the quality and stability of the API.
Drying and purification of intermediates: In the process of drug synthesis, some intermediates are often produced, which may need to be dried and purified under specific conditions. The vacuum environment provided by the drying oven helps to reduce the oxidation of oxygen on the intermediates, while accelerating the drying process and improving the purity and yield of the intermediates.
Drying of preparations: For solid preparations such as tablets, capsules, and granules, drying is often required during the production process to remove moisture and ensure the stability and long-term storage of the preparations. The desktop vacuum drying oven can provide a uniform and controllable drying environment to ensure the drying effect and quality consistency of the preparations.
Handling of heat-sensitive substances: There are many heat-sensitive substances in the pharmaceutical industry, such as certain antibiotics, vaccines, enzymes, etc., which are easily inactivated or degraded at high temperatures. The drying oven provides a gentle drying environment for these heat-sensitive substances by lowering the drying temperature and reducing the presence of oxygen, protecting their activity and stability.
Drying of sterile products: For products that need to remain sterile, such as injections, eye drops, etc., the drying oven can maintain a high degree of cleanliness during the drying process, prevent microbial contamination, and ensure the sterility of the product.
Research and development: In the process of new drug development, it is often necessary to dry a small amount of samples for subsequent testing and analysis. The drying oven is very suitable for laboratory-scale drug development due to its small size, simple operation, and precise temperature control.
