title: Freeze drying of biomaterials for the medical practice.
abstract: Experimentally determined thermophysical characteristics of the new antifibrinolytic bacteriostatic biomedical preparation CAPROCOL are reported. Experimental and theoretical temperature histories at selected locations in a sample of CAPROCOL undergoing freeze drying are compared. The advance of the moving phase interface is also predicted.
