Hey All

Just wanted to canvas opinions on the advantages of using a Freeze Dryer
to dry proteins down over using a Speed Vac.

My understanding was that the solid -> gas transition was gentler than
the liquid -> gas transition, and thus you were far less likely to see
things like oxidation occuring with a freeze dryer. Is this about right
or am I miles away ??

Thanx in Advance
