The present invention pertains to a method for lyophilizing particles comprising frozen liquid having a pharmaceutical compound contained therein, comprising providing a heat conducting container having a bottom and side walls, filling the container with a bed of the particles, the bed comprising multiple layers of the particles and having an aspect ratio of not less than 1, providing a heat source above a top layer of the particles, the heat source having a surface directed to a top layer of the bed, which surface has an emissivity coefficient of at least 0.4, subjecting the particles filled in the container to a reduced pressure, heating at least the bottom of the container and the said surface to provide heat to the particles to support sublimation of the frozen liquid at the reduced pressure, and after the frozen liquid is sublimated, stopping the provision of heat to the particles. The invention also pertains to a pharmaceutical pack comprising a container having contained therein at least one particle obtained via this method.

1. A method for lyophilising particles comprising frozen liquid having a pharmaceutical compound contained therein, comprising: providing a heat conducting container having a bottom and side walls,filling the container with a bed of the particles, the bed comprising multiple layers of the particles
1. A method for lyophilising particles comprising frozen liquid having a pharmaceutical compound contained therein, comprising: providing a heat conducting container having a bottom and side walls,filling the container with a bed of the particles, the bed comprising multiple layers of the particles and having an aspect ratio of not less than 1,providing a heat source above a top layer of the particles, the heat source having a surface directed to a top layer of the bed, which surface has an emissivity coefficient of at least 0.4,subjecting the particles filled in the container to a reduced pressure,heating at least the bottom of the container and the said surface to provide heat to the particles to support sublimation of the frozen liquid at the reduced pressure,after the frozen liquid is sublimated, stopping the provision of heat to the particles. 2. A method according to claim 1, characterised in that a heat source is provided of which the surface has an emissivity coefficient of at least 0.7. 3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the aspect ratio of the bed is not less than 5, in particular not less than 10. 4. A method according to claim 1, wherein the bottom and side walls of the container each have a surface directed to the bed of particles, characterised in that each of these surfaces has an emissivity coefficient of at least 0.4, in particular at least 0.7. 5. A method according to claim 1, wherein the bottom of the container is heated by using a first heating plate, characterised in that for providing the heat source above the top layer of the particles a second heating plate is used. 6. A method according to claim 5, wherein the second heating plate has in essence the same constitution as the first heating plate, characterised in that the side of the second plate directed to the top layer is provided with a material that has the emissivity coefficient of at least 0.4. 7. A method according to claim 6, characterised in that the lower side of the second heating plate is provided with a coating providing the said emissivity coefficient. 8. A method according to claim 6, characterised in that the lower side of the second heating plate is provided with an additional plate, which plate has the said emissivity coefficient. 9. A method according to claim 8, characterised in that the additional plate is made of a fluoropolymer, in particular polytetrafluoroethylene. 10. A method according to claim 1, characterised in that for the provision of heat to the particles the first heating plate is heated to the same temperature as the second heating plate. 11. A pharmaceutical pack comprising a container having contained therein at least one particle obtained by a method according to claim 1.
