菌が完全に不含のままで保つことが必要である。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION With biological and pharmaceutical substances, it is often necessary to store the substance completely dry until its use. Often these sensitive substances can only be used by lyophilization. In addition, in most cases these substances must remain completely free of microbial pathogens, both for reasons of microbial-induced degradation of biological substances and to prevent possible contagion during their use. It is necessary to maintain it.

装置的および方法技術的手段を行なう。 Freeze-drying of biological and pharmaceutical substances is generally known (Ullmanns Enzyklopa¨die der
Technischen Chemie, 3rd edition, Volume 1, No. 556
(see following pages). In order to avoid contamination of the dried product with bacteria and other impurities, expensive equipment and process-technical measures are taken.

了するまで乾燥させる。 When drying pharmaceutical preparations in ampoules or bottles, for example, the bottle containing the frozen substance is equipped with a bacterial filter and the substance in this bottle is dried during the first drying step, which ends the sublimation of the frozen solvent. Dry until dry.

るかぎり水蒸気密に封鎖する。 Subsequently, in a second drying step, the so-called after-drying or residual drying, any remaining residual moisture is removed from the material. This second drying step is usually carried out in special equipment, so that the ampoules or flasks are removed from the first drying device and introduced into the second drying device in another contamination-sensitive working step. For this purpose, the bacterial filter is removed and replaced by an aluminum cap with a rubber membrane plate and hollow needles. After several days of residual drying, depending on the type of material to be dried, the drying chamber is filled with inert gas and a slight overpressure and the membrane plate openings are sealed as vapor-tight as possible with casting material.

能であることを前提条件とする。それに加えて、
乾燥装置の周囲を無菌に保つことが必要である。 Freeze-drying of biological and pharmaceutical substances is also carried out on plates under aseptic conditions, since the sublimation rate in this type of freeze-drying is about half that of open, diffused materials. In this case, the solution of the substance to be dried is first sterilized, for example by filtering through a sterile filter, then poured onto plates under aseptic conditions and freeze-dried using known methods. This method, however, presupposes that the entire freeze-drying equipment is sterilizable. In addition to it,
It is necessary to keep the area around the drying equipment sterile.

深い作業を必要とする。 After drying, the material is removed from the plate under aseptic conditions using mechanical methods on itself or around it in a drying device and is likewise filled into sterile storage containers. This method requires expensive equipment and sterile space and particularly careful handling of the material to be dried or already dried until its ready-to-use product.

りわずかに安定な膜を用いても実施できる。 The invention unexpectedly provides that the vapor flow resulting from the sublimation of solvent molecules, especially water molecules, flowing from the material to be dried into the condenser, is reduced to a small extent by the membrane used in the process according to the invention. Based on the unexpected understanding that it is only hindered in scope. Surprisingly, therefore, freeze-drying of a material surrounded by a membrane proceeds at approximately the same rate as freeze-drying of the same open, unwrapped material. The membranes used according to the invention are, on the one hand, water vapor permeable and, on the other hand, hydrophobic membranes with pores so small that microorganisms can no longer pass through. Such pores preferably have a size of 0.5 μm, especially 0.2 μm. It is advantageous to use membranes according to the invention which are tear-resistant under the respective process conditions even in wet conditions. In any case, the process according to the invention can also be carried out with slightly more stable membranes, as long as they are reinforced with support materials or mechanically loaded not excessively.

溶液の菌数を膜フイルター法により測定した。 The lyophilizate thus obtained, present as a light brown powder in a transparent sterile bag, is brought into a laminar flow box including the bag and 1.5
Dissolved in sterile water. For this purpose, disinfect the prescribed puncture site on the paper side with alcohol and use a sterile cannula and a suitable sterile syringe for a total of 1.5
of sterile water into the bag to dissolve the dry matter and transfer the solution into a sterile bottle. This solution was kept at a constant temperature of 37° C. for 4 days, and the number of bacteria in the solution kept at a constant temperature was subsequently measured by a membrane filter method.
