Leveraging spray drying technique for advancing biologic product development–A mini review

Abstract

Over the last 15 years, spray drying (SD), as an alternative to lyophilization, to manufacture and increase the stability of biologics has demonstrated promising outcomes. Pharmaceutical companies, on the other hand, have yet to expand technology for the production of aseptic spray-dried biologics. In this mini-review, we have discussed the limitations and potential of SD in biologics production.
