July 12, 2017
The present invention relates to a method of freeze drying, in particular to the
freeze drying of cell based biological material and subsequent reconstitution. The
biological material may be from any source such as microbial cells, protozoal
cells, animal cells or plant cells. In particular the invention relates to freeze
drying mammalian cells, such as blood cells, nucleated cells and bacterial cells
for therapeutic use and use in food products. The invention further provides a
method of reconstitution of the freeze dried cells resulting in better viability and
functionality of the cells after reconstitution.
