Pilot freeze dryer for r&d and small batch production

Optimize your freeze-drying process for pilot and laboratory applications with advanced control and precision, ensuring reliable results from R&D testing to small batch production.

Freeze Dries Vaccines and Liquid Formulations

The MINIFAST series from IMA Life represents a versatile solution for pharmaceutical and biotech R&D laboratories seeking precision in freeze drying. Bridging the gap between laboratory models and GMP production units, the MINIFAST employs patented FUSION™ shelf design to enhance drying efficiency and reliability. Available in MINIFAST 04 and MINIFAST 10 configurations, it supports shelf areas of 0.4 and 1.1 m², making it perfect for developmental and small-scale production of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and other sensitive liquid formulations. With a condensing capacity ranging from 8 to 20 kg and standard operating temperatures down to -85°C, it efficiently lyophilizes products while maintaining integrity. The rectangular chamber, made from corrosion-resistant AISI 304L stainless steel, ensures compatibility with stringent pharmaceutical standards. PLC-controlled operation and potential for integration into existing production systems add to its appeal for innovative R&D and pilot plant environments.
