The unexpected dominance of secondary over primary nucleation

Johannes Hoffmann et al.

Summary: Controlling particle formation in industrial crystallization processes is still a challenge. Secondary nucleation is identified as the dominant nucleation mechanism, and enantioselective secondary nucleation can be used to control the chirality of the product, making antisolvent crystallization a viable crystallization-enhanced deracemization technique.

Stochastic shelf-scale modeling framework for the freezing stage in freeze-drying processes

Leif-Thore Deck et al.

Summary: Freezing and freeze-drying processes are commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations to improve stability. However, batch heterogeneity can cause process failure. In this study, a modeling framework for large-scale freezing processes was developed and an open-source implementation was published. The model couples heat transfer with ice nucleation kinetics and showed how ice nucleation leads to heterogeneity. Various cooling protocols were investigated, and holding schemes were found to have similar solidification times as controlled nucleation, suggesting a potential pathway for process optimization.

Methods to stabilize aqueous supercooling identified by use of an isochoric nucleation detection (INDe) device

Anthony N. Consiglio et al.

Summary: This work investigates the potential applications of stable aqueous supercooling and presents a new platform for evaluating its stability. Various system modifications were found to significantly enhance the stability of supercooling. A statistical model was also applied to estimate the duration of stable supercooling based on temperature and solution chemistry, leading to the creation of stability maps.

Combining Mathematical Modeling and Thermal Infrared Data in the Freezing of Pharmaceutical Liquid Formulations

Maite Harguindeguy et al.

Summary: In this study, infrared thermal imaging data and mathematical modeling were combined to describe the freezing process of a pharmaceutical formulation during lyophilization. Different mathematical models were used to estimate the pore size distribution of the resulting cake based on the thermal data, and the estimated values were compared to experimental data. The supersaturation model showed the best agreement with the experimental values, while minor discrepancies were observed with the other models. However, these models, when combined with a mathematical model for the primary drying phase, provided satisfactory predictions for the product temperature, resistance to vapor flow, and drying end point.

Isochoric freezing and isochoric supercooling as innovative postharvest technologies for pomegranate preservation

Cristina Bilbao-Sainz et al.

Summary: The present study investigated the effects of isochoric supercooling and freezing on the qualitative attributes of pomegranates, including color, texture, and phytochemical components such as anthocyanins and ascorbic acid. Isochoric supercooling was found to retain color and texture, increase anthocyanins and ascorbic acid content, and inhibit bacterial growth. Isochoric freezing, on the other hand, was the most effective method for inhibiting microbial growth and increasing ascorbic acid content. However, it caused some loss in texture. Isochoric supercooling was also effective in preserving fresh-cut arils, minimizing texture and color loss.

Stochastic ice nucleation governs the freezing process of biopharmaceuticals in vials

Leif-Thore Deck et al.

Summary: This study investigates the freezing process of pallets used in biopharmaceuticals and compares it with engineering run data from the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. The researchers found that stochastic ice nucleation plays a crucial role in determining process duration and batch heterogeneity. Understanding the ice nucleation kinetics of the formulation is important for identifying suitable freezing process conditions.

Conceptual Validation of Stochastic and Deterministic Methods To Estimate Crystal Nucleation Rates

Leif-Thore Deck et al.

Summary: This work presents a generalized framework to assess the accuracy of methods for estimating primary and secondary nucleation rates. Simulation of the crystallization process was conducted using a novel stochastic modeling methodology. It was found that deterministic methods tend to overpredict rates in the presence of secondary nucleation, while stochastic methods were accurate irrespective of secondary nucleation. A criterion was proposed to evaluate the accuracy of stochastic methods. Additionally, the study showed how deterministic and stochastic considerations can be combined to infer both primary and secondary nucleation rates.

Homogeneous freezing of water droplets for different volumes and cooling rates

Nadia Shardt et al.

Summary: To understand ice formation in different environments, it is important to quantify the rate at which ice nucleates from liquid water. Microfluidic platforms, such as the Microfluidic Ice Nuclei Counter Zurich (MINCZ), can provide accurate measurements of nucleation rates. By conducting experiments and simulations, we demonstrate the significance of obtaining a large dataset to improve the accuracy of nucleation rate predictions. Furthermore, we obtain new parameters for a previously developed parameterisation.

Trouble With the Neighbor During Freeze-Drying: Rivalry About Energy

Sarah Ehlers et al.

Summary: Homogeneity during lyophilization is crucial for product quality. The edge-vial-effect can cause uneven product temperature distribution, due to the impact of neighboring vials. Gas conduction enables cooling effects up to 10 mm distance between vials.

A Review of Experimental Methods for Nucleation Rate Determination in Large-Volume Batch and Microfluidic Crystallization

Cedric Devos et al.

Summary: Determination of the experimental nucleation rate for crystallization in solution is crucial for improving industrial crystallization processes and understanding nucleation mechanisms. While large-volume batch crystallizer models have been widely studied in the past, recent developments in microfluidic platforms have opened new pathways for understanding nucleation on a molecular level.

Influence of Volume on the Nucleation of Model Organic Molecular Crystals through an Induction Time Approach

Isaac Jerome C. Dela Cruz et al.

Summary: The analysis revealed that a reduction in sample volume leads to an exponential increase in induction times. Using volume reduction as an approach to nanocrystal development and polymorph access, it was found that acetaminophen systems did not show polymorphism variation across all volumes, while glycine systems shifted towards gamma-glycine nucleation at smaller volume sizes.

Investigation of the Freezing Phenomenon in Vials Using an Infrared Camera

Maite Harguindeguy et al.

Summary: This study provides new experimental observations of the freezing phenomenon in vials using infrared thermography, investigating both spontaneous nucleation and vacuum-induced surface freezing. Different materials and cooling methods were studied, and correlations between freezing observations and resulting pore size distributions were examined using SEM images and automated image segmentation techniques. IR thermography was found to be a promising tool for experimentally predicting the resulting product morphology.
