Benchtop freeze dryer for laboratory and small production use
Optimize your lab’s efficiency by adding precise, space-saving freeze-drying capabilities to your workflow, ideal for producing stable, high-quality lyophilized products from pharmaceuticals to biological samples.

Processes and Lyophilizes Biological and Pharmaceutical Samples
The VirTis AdVantage Pro Freeze Dryer from Scientific Products offers benchtop lyophilization designed to meet diverse needs within pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research settings. Featuring the Intellitronics™ Controller, it provides seamless monitoring through Ethernet connectivity, allowing cycle supervision from any device. This freeze dryer is equipped with a silicone flooded shelf system for optimal heat transfer, maintaining tight temperature control (±1.0 °C), and ensuring precise dehydration of sensitive samples. With the ability to accommodate both tray and flask configurations, it serves applications ranging from lyophilizing bulk pharmaceuticals to preserving biological tissues and producing diagnostic kits.
The unit’s compact design optimizes bench space without sacrificing 6L capacity, supported by a cascade refrigeration system reaching -85°C. Optional features like pneumatic stoppering and fluid-cooled shelves enhance versatility, while data acquisition software enables analysis and trend monitoring remotely. Constructed from premium stainless steel, the dryer promises robust performance with minimal downtime. Configurable for cleanroom operations, it adheres to rigorous industry standards, offering customization options to fit specific production workflows. Combined, these elements make the VirTis AdVantage Pro a reliable solution for controlled freeze-drying processes.
