TurboThaw™

Controlled-Rate Microwave Thawing for Bulk Frozen Drug Substance
Get Started

How It Works

LyoWave TurboThaw™ is a controlled-rate thawing platform designed to reduce processing time for bulk frozen API by up to 4X.

Compatible with primary packaging from 30mL to 4L and most industry-standard formats, TurboThaw™ integrates across multiple development pipelines simultaneously.

Utilizing LyoWave's high-frequency microwave heating technology, TurboThaw™ delivers proven performance for biologics, vaccines, cell therapies, and bulk drug substance.

TurboThaw™ Advantages

Uniformity and Speed

Volumetric RF heating thaws bulk materials up to 4x faster than conventional ambient methods, eliminating the cryoconcentration and aggregation risks associated with slow, uneven thawing.

Product Quality Preservation

Precise temperature control protects against localized overheating and protein aggregation - maintaining critical quality attributes for biologics, mAbs, and cell therapies.

Precision Control

TurboThaw™ uses the same closed-loop optical temperature sensing architecture as TurboDry™ - real-time feedback ensures product temperature stays within validated thaw parameters.

Seamless Integration

The TurboThaw™ modular design is directly compatible with existing cold chain and thaw workflows, minimizing disruption to your current process.
