Pilot lyophilizers for pharmaceutical development
For precision freeze-drying in clinical trial production, these pilot lyophilizers offer advanced control over nucleation and temperature, ensuring the stability and quality of delicate pharmaceutical products.

Performs Precise Freeze-Drying for Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics
The Hull LyoConstellation S10/S20/S30 from SP Scientific Products offers precision and efficiency in lyophilization for pharmaceutical and biotech applications. These pilot lyophilizers excel in controlled ice nucleation and temperature monitoring, enabling accurate moisture removal for monoclonal antibodies, ADCs, and compounded medications. With scalable capacity and aseptic production readiness, they effortlessly integrate into your fill-finish workflow, meeting GMP standards and supporting Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) for enhanced process control. Engineered for flexibility, these units come equipped with 5 to 8 shelves, accommodating vials up to 30 mL and maintaining 100 mTorr at +40⁰C. The Hull LyoConstellation ensures reliable cycle development through to full clinical and pilot-scale production, leveraging automation, remote monitoring, and efficient sterilization and cleaning (SIP/CIP execution).
