Abstract

The moisture content of enzyme preparations to be freeze-dried is controlled by addition of aqueous dextran solution prior to freeze-drying. The dextran should have a molecular weight within the range from 10,000 to 100,000, and should be salt-free. Preferably from 1 to 10 per cent w/v. of the material to be dried is used. A compatible wetting agent (preferably acid-free such as the non-ionic polyoxyethylene ethers) may also be added. In order to prevent over drying, glucose or other inert substance which strongly retains water may also be added to the dextran solution. In an Example (4), a crude culture filtrate containing deoxyribonuclease is mixed with sufficient dextran powder to give a 5 per cent w/v. of dextran in solution, and the so-formed solution is freeze-dried.ALSO:The moisture content of sensitive materials to be freeze-dried such as vaccines, hormones, organ extracts and viruses is controlled by addition of aqueous dextran solution prior to freeze-drying. The dextran should have a molecular weight within the range from 10,000 to 100,000, and should be salt-free. Preferably from 1 to 10 per cent w/v of the material to be dried is used. A compatible wetting agent (preferably acid-free such as the non-ionic polyoxyethylene ethers) may also be added. In order to prevent over drying, glucose or other inert substance which strongly retains water may also be added to the dextran solution. In an example viable B.C.G. organisms (Bacillus of Calmette and Guerin) are collected from a culture medium and suspended in 6 per cent w/v dextran in 5 per cent glucose containing 1/4000 parts of a polyoxyethylene ether. The suspension is filled into ampoules and freeze dried.
