Freeze drying simplified

Control systems allow for easy scale-up from clinical and small scale batches to larger scale production, and options enable compliancy with modern industry standards, including 21 CFR 11

Based upon the highly successful VirTis Ultra series freeze dryers, the VirTual range is said to be ideal for pilot scale, bulk, or high vapour load rapid freeze drying applications.

VirTual freeze dryers feature a large shelf surface area to footprint ratio, with a standard unit measuring just 127x193x99cm and variable working shelf area available from four to ten shelves and up to 1.42m2.

Shelves can be simply latched to adjust the interspacing.

All units are available with a stoppering option if required.

Although the condenser is a high surface area internal coil, the chamber has been specifically designed to allow the condenser to be isolated - enabling pressure rise tests to be carried out to give an indication of the end of drying.

This is achieved by lowering the bottom shelf of the unit, which effectively seals off the condenser from the rest of the chamber.

All chamber surfaces are manufactured from polished stainless steel and are easy to clean while chamber and condenser door are manufactured from clear Lucite.

Control systems allow for easy scale-up from clinical and small scale batches to larger scale production, and options enable compliancy with modern industry standards, including 21 CFR 11, if required.

Multi-step, multi-recipe storage and optional external PC control provides the user with flexibility in cycle development, historical trending and repeatability.

Three different refrigeration options are available, offering condenser temperatures from -53C to -90C and low shelf temperatures of -48C to -70C for processing varied materials.
