The invention relates to the field of biological
medicine, in particular to a method for efficiently removing
solvent residues in the
drying process of
insulin aspart crystals. According to the
insulin aspart
crystal drying process, primary vacuumizing is adopted to remove most of organic solvents; then water is added to preserve
moisture and pressure, and the temperature and material turning over are controlled at
proper time and during the period, the
solvent crystal of the
insulin aspart is converted into
crystal water; then vacuumizing is conducted, the temperature is controlled and material turning over is conducted at
proper time, so that the residual
organic solvent which is difficult to remove is further removed; and the steps of moisturizing, pressure maintaining and vacuumizing are repeated, so that the wet
solid is in full contact with the
water vapor, and the stability of a sample is ensured on the basis of reducing the
solvent residue. According to the method, the
ethanol residual solvent in a
kilogram-
level insulin finished product prepared by the method reaches 3000 ppm or below, the purity of the product is reaches 99% or above, and the problems of high solvent residue, unstable quality, high
equipment requirement, high amplification cost and unsuitability for large-scale production in the prior art are solved.
