Pilot-production freeze dryer for diagnostic kits and Api
Optimize your lyophilization process with this versatile freeze dryer, designed to handle both high-moisture and low-moisture products with precision and efficiency, enhancing your workflow without compromising on space.

Lyophilizes and Preserves Liquid and Solid Products
The VirTis Ultra 50L and 35L from Scientific Products are modular lyophilizers tailored for small-scale and pilot production. Offering a compact, mobile design, these units cater to pharmaceutical manufacturers, diagnostic kit producers, and tissue banking facilities needing precise lyophilization for critical biological materials. The Ultra series stands out with its customizable configurations, including options for bulk or stoppering processes and a range of control systems like Merlin or LyoS 2.0™, ensuring precise temperature and vacuum management.
Ideal for applications such as collagen peptides, lyophilized antibodies, and tissue preservation vials, the Ultra lyophilizers handle diverse product types efficiently with their -70ºC shelf and -85ºC condenser capabilities. These units are constructed with chemical-resistant 316 stainless steel shelves, enhancing durability and ease of maintenance, while integrated standard lab utilities simplify setup. Additionally, the front-facing vacuum pump facilitates straightforward monitoring and routine upkeep.
Designed to meet stringent industry standards, these lyophilizers support operations in cleanroom environments with narrow footprint options, reinforcing GMP compliance. By offering a comprehensive range of refrigeration, shelf, and condenser configurations, the VirTis Ultra series empowers users to adapt systems precisely to their lyophilization needs, ensuring optimal preservation and throughput for both solids and liquids in the biopharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life sciences industries.
