Pilot freeze dryer for pharmaceutical applications
Optimally bridge laboratory development and full-scale production with this compact freeze dryer, designed to enhance process reliability and efficiency in pharmaceutical and biotech applications, ensuring precise control over moisture removal for high-quality end products like vaccines and monoclonal antibodies.
Optimizes Freeze Drying for Biopharmaceuticals
The LYOFAST MINI from IMA Life is a compact pilot freeze dryer designed to bridge laboratory development and full-scale production. This equipment excels in optimizing freeze drying for critical applications such as vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and lyophilized powders. It features four configurations, offering shelf areas from 1 to 2.8 m² with automatic stoppering pressure control. Integration is seamless with UAF, RABS, and isolators, supported by a compact SCADA system for comprehensive monitoring. The patented FUSION™ technology enhances heat transfer efficiency, allowing precise temperature control and energy usage reduction. Clean-in-place (CIP) and steam-in-place (SIP) systems ensure compliance with GMP standards, while flexible shelf spacing accommodates varied product types. Ideal for pharmaceutical, biotech, and food industries, the LYOFAST MINI supports R&D departments in scaling up freeze drying processes efficiently and reliably.
