Features
Modular Design
The drying chamber, ice condenser chamber, refrigeration system, and control system are designed as separate units. The modular design makes installation and maintenance easier and faster. LAB1ST also provides on-site installation, training and maintenance to greatly save your cost and time.
Automatic Control
Precise and automatic control is a key factor in drying heat-sensitive pharmaceutical products. LAB1ST freeze dryer features a color touch screen, a PLC controller and a PID controller. All critical process parameters can be precisely controlled and monitored real-time. It can also be controlled remotely by apps on mobile phone.
High Efficiency
Samples can be pre-frozen directly within the chamber. The drying chamber and cold trap are designed as separate units to enhance drying efficiency and significantly reduce drying time.
Freeze drying is the technology of drying a deep-frozen product in a vacuum below a low temperature. This technique removes water from products while preserving its structure and biological activity, making it ideal for sensitive pharmaceutical products. Therefore, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to better preserve and protect vaccines, antibodies, medecine and more.
The FDI-P series freeze dryer developed by labfirst scientific combines compact design with stable and high efficient freeze drying. It is available in 12 different configurations, with shelf areas going from 1m² to 50m² and ice condenser capacities ranging from 20Kg to 1000Kg. With its multiple options, cutting-edge technology and unique design, it addresses demands in R&D, pilot scale and industrial scale freeze drying. It is the optimum tool to standardising and optimizing process development.
