lyophilization
Solvent removal from the frozen state by sublimation; commonly referred to as freeze-drying. The dried material, a porous solid, is sealed under vacuum or inert-gas atmosphere and retains its physical and biological characteristics indefinitely. When reconstituted for use, the porous product readily readmits solvent; hence the term lyophile, or solvent-loving.
