This system is designed to meet the growing needs of modern laboratories by providing an efficient, scalable, and versatile solution for freeze drying.
Freeze drying is particularly useful for biological samples, pharmaceuticals, and food products, where preserving the original structure and composition of the sample is crucial. The Laboratory Vertical Freeze Dryer combines high performance with ease of use, making it an indispensable tool for professionals in the field.
Key Features of the Laboratory Vertical Freeze Dryer
The Laboratory Vertical Freeze Dryer by EquilRxnLab is packed with advanced features that ensure top-tier performance and reliability. Some of its most notable attributes include:
- Freeze-Drying Area: The 0.12 m² freeze-drying area provides ample space for handling multiple samples simultaneously, improving throughput and efficiency.
- Cold Plate Temperature: The cold plate temperature can reach as low as -55°C (empty), with an optional upgrade to -80°C (empty) for more demanding applications.
- Ultimate Vacuum: The system achieves an ultimate vacuum of < 5Pa (empty), ensuring that moisture is efficiently removed from samples during the drying process.
- Pumping Speed: With a pumping speed of 2L/S, the freeze dryer can quickly evacuate air from the chamber, accelerating the drying process.
- Dehydration Capacity: Capable of handling 3-4kg of samples per 24 hours, this freeze dryer is ideal for medium to high-volume applications.
- Cooling Method: The system utilizes an air-cooled cooling method, ensuring efficient temperature regulation without the need for external cooling sources.
- Defrosting Method: The natural defrost method simplifies maintenance by allowing the system to thaw without requiring external intervention.
These features make the Laboratory Vertical Freeze Dryer a versatile and powerful tool for laboratories involved in freeze-drying processes.
Versatile Flask and Vial Support for Various Applications
One of the standout features of the Laboratory Vertical Freeze Dryer is its flexibility in sample support. The system includes a variety of flask and vial options to accommodate different sample sizes and types, ensuring that it meets the specific needs of diverse applications:
- Sample Trays: The system comes with 4 sample trays, each with a φ200mm diameter and 70mm spacing, providing ample room for larger batches of samples.
- Flask Capacity: The dryer supports 8 flasks (2 each of 100ml, 150ml, 250ml, 500ml), allowing for customization based on the sample volume.
- Vial Support: The system offers versatile vial support for a range of vial sizes:
- φ12mm: Supports up to 560 vials
- φ16mm: Supports up to 285 vials
- φ22mm: Supports up to 165 vials
This flexibility ensures that the Laboratory Vertical Freeze Dryer can accommodate a wide variety of materials, whether you’re working with small vials or large flasks.
Ideal Operating Conditions for Freeze Drying
The Laboratory Vertical Freeze Dryer is designed to operate efficiently within a specific set of environmental conditions. These conditions help maintain optimal performance and ensure the best results for your samples:
