Abstract
A continuous microwave vacuum-drying method includes loading, onto a conveyor belt, a lower half of an integrated container, filing, by a frozen-drug dispenser, a first chamber of a lower half of an integrated container with a frozen compound, exposing, by microwave emitters within a vacuum chamber, the frozen compound of the first chamber of the lower half of the integrated container to microwave radiation to lyophilize the frozen compound into a lyophilized compound, filing, by a reconstitution solution dispenser, a second chamber of the lower half of the integrated container with a reconstitution solution, removing, by the conveyor belt, the lower half of the integrated container out of the vacuum chamber, and sealing, by a container sealer, an upper half of the integrated container onto the lower half of the integrated container to create a prefilled integrated package.
