For the pharma and biopharma industries, the freeze/thaw process of drug substances is critical. Companies are continually looking to improve this process to protect quality, increase yield, and reduce manufacturing footprint. A lack of updated freezer technology has been a hinderance for many companies in achieving these goals.
Traditional ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers are not designed for freezing of bulk drug substance, leading to slow freezing rates and reliability issues. Plate freezers do not these same issues but are complex and expensive.
During this informative discussion with Jeffrey Johnson, distinguished process engineering expert, we provide insights into the challenges faced by the industry, cover an in-depth technical evaluation of heat transfer rates, freezing capacity, and freeze/thaw data, and present an improved way to freeze that provides a reliable and efficient solution.
By viewing this webinar, you will be equipped with the knowledge to enhance your freeze/thaw processes significantly, helping you to stay at the forefront of advancements in pharmaceutical manufacturing. To discover more about FARRAR's 4000 Series Controlled Rate Chamber, check us out online
With the EPA’s Technology Transitions Program January 1, 2026 compliance deadline looming, manufacturers, designers, and building operators are preparing for the move to low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants for various applications.
The current ruling is scoped to impact the entire refrigeration industry and there will be ripple effects into other technologies, including those leveraged in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech, and other life science industries.
Based on these guidelines, industrial process refrigeration (IPR) applications will be impacted by the EPA’s most recent ruling. It’s important to understand the available refrigerant options, that not only support application requirements and sustainability goals but are also compliant with proposed regulations.
Listen in as FARRAR’s David Craig and Nate Fries provide an overview of the EPA’s refrigerant ruling, discuss how it will impact the future of cold storage chamber design, and review currently available refrigerant options so you can make an informed, sustainable choice.

As the pharma/biopharma and biotech industries continue to evolve, the demand for cold storage is growing. Low and ultra-low temperature refrigerators, freezers, and cold spaces are critical in supporting the manufacturing, freezing, and storing of medicines, vaccines, therapeutics, biologic material, and other life science products.
Advancements in cold storage technology have expanded the variety of options to choose from, often making it difficult to identify the “just right” solution to meet the specific requirements of an application, product, or process.
Check out this webinar where FARRAR® cold chain experts discuss the critical points to consider when selecting low and ultra-low temperature storage, plus the pros and cons of currently available cold storage technologies.

The primary challenges pharma and biopharma development and manufacturing organizations face are managing large volumes and adapting facility design to support the demand for critical materials.
CMOs, CDMOs, and 3PL companies have traditionally relied on ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers to meet their process demands, having to individually fill each unit and being limited to a single set point.
As design innovations evolve, there are alternatives to the standard “freezer farm.” These solutions provide the needed flexibility, scalability, and simplified installation needed to help support optimized processes and return on investment.
Check out this webinar to discover how -70°C Large Scale Storage Suites can quickly scale to meet the demand of large volumes without having to adapt facility design, helping to simplify and optimize your processes.

Life sciences companies rely on cold storage solutions to protect millions of dollars of products. Temperature excursions bring risks to product viability and safety, making equipment flexibility and temperature recovery times key to preserving sample integrity, efficiency, and to the ability to deliver cutting-edge therapies.
In the past few years, the life sciences industry has been tested, and we have seen that cold storage solutions must be able to handle quick and dramatic increases in demand. At the same time, they must be energy efficient to help meet sustainability metrics.Forced-air convection cooling assists global companies providing lifesaving therapies by reducing temperature excursions, improving equipment reliability, and increasing energy efficiency to help them meet both operational and sustainability goals.

As a pharma professional working in the GMP environment, you understand the critical importance of maintaining sample integrity, optimizing workflow, and conserving energy. Over the past decade, the demand for -60°C through -80°C assets in pharmaceutical manufacturing has skyrocketed. Clinical research investments have expanded, and commercial-scale needs continue transforming the industry. However, the lack of alternative solutions has made cold wall technology the gold standard.
But here’s the catch – cold-wall technologies were not designed or intended to perform in certain applications that are becoming increasingly common. Factors such as expedited commercialization of drug products, the need for bulk volumes, and the demand for flexible temperature setpoints have stressed traditional cold-wall systems.
Is there an alternative technology that can address these challenges? The answer is a resounding “yes.” Check out this informative discussion to explore forced-air convection technology and discover how it can revolutionize your operations.
