Laboratory freeze dryer for small batch processing
Ensure precise moisture control and stability in sensitive samples with our modular freeze dryer, essential for preserving the integrity of biopharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and archaeological artifacts through efficient lyophilization processes.
Precisely Freeze Dries and Vacuum Seals Samples
ZIRBUS technology’s VaCo Series offers a modular freeze dryer solution, adapted for precision in laboratory and pilot-scale applications. The series employs a robust freeze drying and lyophilization process, utilizing environmentally friendly natural refrigerants in compliance with EU F-Gas regulations. Available with condenser temperatures of either -50°C or -80°C, the VaCo 2, 5, and 10 models vary in condenser and ice capacities, tailoring to diverse operational needs. Ideal for biopharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food products, the equipment integrates seamlessly into research and production lines, optimizing moisture removal from sensitive samples. Constructed with stainless steel, the series offers optional acrylic or stainless steel chambers for enhanced chemical compatibility, alongside customization options like heated shelves and vacuum controls, crucial for processing liquid and solid forms. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical, biotech, and food industries, the VaCo Series ensures consistent product quality, energy efficiency, and minimal environmental impact.
