LyoAlfa freeze dryers

Description

LyoAlfa freeze dryers

The LyoAlfa laboratory freeze dryer is especially suitable for research centers that require larger freeze drying capacity. This freeze dryer comes as a console and is mounted on wheels which makes it easy to install. The unit is very flexible, allowing simultaneous freeze-drying of bottles, vials or bulk products by connecting different manifolds and/or chambers.

The LyoAlfa laboratory freeze dryer comes in 2 configurations:

• LyoAlfa 15 -55, with a final condenser temperature of -53 ±3°C.
• LyoAlfa 15 -85, with a final condenser temperature of -83 ±3°C. This enables a higher freeze drying speed and is much more suitable for working with biological samples or products with very low eutectic or collapse points.

The unit comes with a two-stage vacuum pump located inside the console.

All the critical parts are made out of AISI 316L stainless steel.

The easy-to-use control system can display the condenser temperature and the vacuum level at all times, as well as enabling adjustment of the shelf temperature when coupled to a drying chamber.

The LyoAlfa can be supplemented with a wide range of accessories such as the heated vial closing chamber, heated bulk product chamber, 8 or 16 connection manifold, auxiliary chamber for direct connection to the manifold, etc.

The unit comes in a standard configuration with RS232 interface for connection to a PC via suitable monitoring Lyologger software.
