When the freeze drying technology breaks through the physical preservation of food and drugs, and enters the deep water area of life science, a technological revolution about "life pause and restart" is under way. From the cryopreservation of immune cells of cancer patients to the construction of gene banks for endangered species, the freeze-drier is no longer an industrial device, but a core tool for human beings to explore the essence of life.g. As predicted by Nature, the global biological sample freeze drying market scale will exceed USD 18 billion in 2025, and the freeze drying machine industry is standing at the intersection of "scientific ethics" and "technological ambition".
Cell Therapy Driven Cryogenic Lyophilization Demand
In CAR-T therapy, freeze drying technology can extend the preservation period of immune cell activity from 7 days to 3 years, and the - 196 ℃ freeze drying system developed by CryoLife in the United States has been used in 30% of tumor clinical projects worldwide.
Breakthrough in single-cell freeze drying technology
Japan Shimadzu Manufacturing Institute launched the world's first single cell freeze-dried machine, which can conduct directional freeze-dried on single neuron cells to help the Institute of Cerebral Sciences;
Freeze-dried Experiment in Space Environment
NASA tested the microgravity freeze drying technology on the International Space Station and found that the sublimation speed of water molecules was three times faster than the Earth, which provided a new solution for food preservation in deep space exploration;
The "Moon Surface Freeze-dried Chamber" developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation has entered the ground simulation test stage, aiming to realize the in situ water extraction and freeze-dried storage of lunar soil.
From the preservation of a strawberry to the preservation of human consciousness, the evolutionary history of freeze-dried technology is the eternal epitome of civilization's pursuit. When the boundary between science and business becomes blurred at cryogenic temperatures, the freeze-drier industry not only needs to break technological limits, but also needs to find a balance between ethics and interests. The contest about "pause in life" may finally answer the ultimate proposition of mankind: can we really defeat time?
