The document summarizes an agenda for a conference on emerging technologies in freeze drying. The agenda includes presentations on using freeze drying microscopy to identify critical formulation parameters, using freeze drying in tissue engineering scaffold production, moisture mapping of a freeze dryer, and enabling process control in freeze drying through measurement of temperature, mass, and controlled nucleation technology. The document also provides information about freeze drying equipment manufacturers and service departments represented at the conference for food and pharmaceutical freeze drying applications.
