What We Can Do For You
Freeze-drying Services
ASE is a leading provider of lyophilisation services in Australia. Lyophilisation, or freeze-drying, is a process that removes water from samples or products while preserving their physical and chemical properties. This technique is widely used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to extend the shelf-life of products and ensure their stability.
We offer a range of benefits to clients across different industries. Firstly, lyophilisation can be used to preserve a wide range of products. This makes it a versatile technique that can be used in different contexts. Secondly, lyophilisation can increase the shelf-life of products by reducing their water content. This is particularly important for biological or pharmaceutical products that need to be stored for extended periods of time. Thirdly, lyophilisation can preserve the activity of proteins and other biological molecules, which can be damaged by other drying techniques. This is essential for many biotechnology applications, such as the production of vaccines and enzymes.
ASE’s lyophilisation services are conducted in state-of-the-art facilities that comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and other relevant standards. This ensures that clients receive high-quality and reliable services that meet regulatory requirements. ASE’s team of experienced scientists and technicians are trained to handle a range of samples and products, and to optimise lyophilisation conditions to achieve the best possible outcomes.
One of the key advantages of our lyophilisation service is our flexibility. Clients can choose from a range of lyophilisation equipment and conditions, depending on the nature of their samples or products. ASE offers both laboratory-scale and large-scale lyophilisation equipment, and can tailor lyophilisation cycles to meet the specific needs of clients. This means that clients can receive bespoke lyophilisation services that are optimised for their samples or products.
Another advantage of our lyophilisation services is their speed and efficiency. ASE’s lyophilisation processes are designed to be fast and efficient, which reduces turnaround times and minimises costs. This is particularly important for clients who need to produce large volumes of lyophilised products on a regular basis. We can accommodate both large and small runs in a variety of vial sizes. Freeze-drying services can include:
- Full formulation service including aliquoting and freeze-drying.
- Custom freeze-drying of customer product.
- Freeze drying program development
Our lyophilisation services are a reliable and effective way to preserve samples and products in a range of industries. ASE’s state-of-the-art facilities, experienced team, and flexible services makes us a leading provider of lyophilisation services in Australia. Whether clients need to lyophilise biological molecules or other products, our lyophilisation services can help to extend shelf-life, preserve activity, and maintain your product quality.

Specialised Filling, Packaging & Labelling
At ASE, we have extensive experience in undertaking highly accurate fills of volumes ranging from 100µl to 2 litres. We are able to fill into a large variety of microtubes, vials, ampoules and bottles. Single use, individually sealed diluents or reagents of various volumes can be custom filled. We can fill with fluid and control the head space gas to custom requirements.
We also have a design service for specialised packaging, incorporating the product container with the outer packaging to meet customer kit requirements. This can include die-cut boxes, plastic shell or clam packaging. Customers can choose from our stock lines of packaging or we can custom build to your specifications. We aim to anticipate all needs with innovative design.
ASE has a dedicated print team. We design and produce the bulk of our labels in-house but have access to speciality press and digital printers when required. The in-house printers give us the flexibility of printing short runs with multiple ID changes.
Label application for bulk product is also available as a service. We have automated systems that can accommodate bottles and vials with diameters from 1cm to 12cm.

Customised Diluents
In today’s climate where remote testing facilities are becoming increasingly more common ASE provides accurately filled single use diluents and reagents. Volumes that we commonly provide vary between 0.5mls and 10mls. These are used at roadside testing sites, workplace testing sites and Point of Care testing locations in General Practitioner’s office or rural or remote locations. These single use packaging systems are also useful for External Quality Assurance Program materials.

Formulation Services
ASE is a leading provider of formulation services for lyophilised products. Lyophilisation is a complex process that requires careful consideration of many factors, including the formulation of the product. ASE’s formulation services are designed to ensure that the lyophilisation process is optimised for the specific product being developed.
One of the key factors in lyophilisation is the formulation of the product itself. A product’s formulation can have a significant impact on the success of the lyophilisation process. ASE’s formulation services are designed to help clients develop a formulation that is optimised for the lyophilisation process. Our team of experts can work with clients to develop a formulation that meets the specific needs of their product, taking into account factors such as stability, solubility, and compatibility with the lyophilisation process.
Another important factor in lyophilisation is the selection of excipients. Excipients are the inactive ingredients in a product that are used to facilitate the lyophilisation process. ASE’s formulation services can help clients select the optimal excipients for their product, ensuring that the lyophilisation process is efficient and effective.
In addition to formulation services, ASE also offers a range of other services to support the lyophilisation process. These services include analytical testing, process development, and scale-up. ASE’s analytical testing services can help clients identify the optimal lyophilisation conditions for their product, while its process development and scale-up services can help clients scale their lyophilisation process from the laboratory to commercial production.
ASE’s formulation services for lyophilised products are designed to help clients develop a formulation that is optimised for the lyophilisation process. By working closely with clients to understand the specific needs of their product, our team of experts can develop a formulation that maximises product stability, solubility, and compatibility with the lyophilisation process. This can help clients reduce development time and costs, while ensuring that their lyophilised product is of the highest quality.
