Small-scale pharmaceutical freeze dryer
In pharmaceutical research and development, preserving the integrity of small-scale batches during formulation or process development is crucial. Achieving high purity and stability while minimizing contamination risks can be challenging with conventional drying methods.

Guarantee small-scale batch integrity with freeze drying
The LYOVAC® Small-Scale Freeze Dryer from GEA is designed for producing small batches and formulation or process development. With a flexible capacity of 10 kg and 0.63 m² of shelf space, it is ideal for laboratories needing precise control and scalability. The unit’s FALCO control system allows seamless recipe transfer during scale-up, and it’s GLP/GMP compliant, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Options like IQ/OQ documentation, wireless temperature sensors, and VHP or steam sterilization options make it versatile and easy to validate. Additionally, the LYOSPARK© controlled nucleation and LYOPLUS© mass spectrometer for silicone oil detection enhance process reliability and product quality.
