But I heard Merck was building hundreds of thousands of sq ft of new space for DcVax :) :)

“It’s a lyophilization area, which is freeze-drying – like Folger’s coffee – and then the clean room, and filling of vials, and then the third floor will be office area and mechanical,” he said.

Lyophilization is used for among other things:

>>Laboratory and research
Reagent stability: Preserves sensitive lab reagents and cultures that would otherwise degrade quickly.
Sample preparation: Can be used as a purification method and for preparing samples for certain types of analysis
