Pilot-production freeze dryer for diagnostic kits and Api
When producing delicate materials such as diagnostic kits, tissue samples, or active pharmaceutical ingredients, maintaining the integrity and stability of the product during storage is crucial. Traditional drying methods often fail to protect against moisture reabsorption, leading to compromised product quality over time.

Customizable freeze-drying for small-scale production
The SP Virtis Ultra 50L & 35L Pilot-Production Freeze Dryers are designed to support your pilot and small-scale lyophilization needs. Available with 35L or 50L condenser capacities, these units achieve shelf temperatures as low as -70ºC and condenser temperatures down to -85ºC. They feature highly configurable options, including up to 15 shelves, various control systems like the Merlin or LyoS 2.0™, and multiple temperature and vacuum sensor options. Despite their compact design, they offer robust performance, easily integrating into cleanroom environments. These freeze dryers are suitable for a range of applications from diagnostic kits and tissue banking to bulk liquid APIs and collagen nutraceuticals. The durable 316 stainless steel construction and optional stoppering configurations ensure long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.
