Benchtop freeze dryer for laboratory research
Streamline your lab’s freeze-drying processes with precision temperature control for diverse applications, from botanical extracts to vaccine samples, ensuring product integrity and efficiency.

Performs Precise Freeze-Drying for Various Sample Types
The VirTis AdVantage Pro Freeze Dryer from SP Industries is a compact benchtop solution tailored for precise freeze-drying of sensitive samples within pharmaceutical and biotechnology environments. Featuring an Intellitronics™ Controller with ethernet compatibility, it allows remote monitoring and control, ensuring flexibility and convenience in your lab operations. Designed for diverse applications, it accommodates everything from enzyme assay kits to lyophilized drug substances, using silicone-flooded shelves for precise thermal management within ±1.0 °C. The unit’s cascade refrigeration system provides efficient cooling, with a -85°C condenser coil suitable for oils and solvents, optimizing both energy and processing efficiency. This system is ideal for GMP-compliant facilities, providing optional pneumatic stoppering, data acquisition software for secure operational insights, and customizable drying steps to align with specific workflow requirements. Its stainless steel construction supports long-term durability and reduced downtime, with cleanroom-ready adaptations available to meet stringent operational standards.
