A device for holding and monitoring a predetermined dose of a product during a freezing, drying and/or lyophilization process, includes a mold having a receptacle part for containing the predetermined dose of the product in direct contact with the receptacle part, a sensor, contacting the mold or integrated in the mold, for measuring a physical characteristic and/or quantity, and a transmitter for transmitting the measured characteristic and/or quantity in the form of a sensor signal to a control unit for controlling a heating and/or cooling element, integrated in the device, for heating and/or cooling a predetermined dose of product during a freezing, drying and/or lyophilization process, in the lyophilization process. The device relates in further aspects to a system and a method.

Provided herein are systems, methods, and processes for drying a softgel having a hydrophilic fill material and one or more active ingredients. After forming the hydrophilic softgel, for example, the softgel is dried by sequentially passing the softgel through a series of specific drying conditions, in which the first drying condition has a low temperature and low dew point. In certain examples, controlled airflow is also used to dry the softgels. By using the systems, methods, and processes, the total time to dry the hydrophilic softgel can be beneficially reduced from several days to about 24 hours without causing shriveling of the softgel.

An improved locker seat includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls having a pair of lateral edges. A generally horizontal seat is disposed between the lateral edges of the sidewalls. In a first mode, an air source is connected to an airway formed within the seat to create an airflow. The airflow from the air source creates a first temperature differential to cool the seat. In a second mode, an external or internal heat source provides heat to a top surface of the seat, creating a second temperature differential to heat the seat. The first and second temperature differential are distributed across the top surface of the seat. The seat is hinged to be movable about the hinge between an open and a closed position.
