Description

The Benchtop Manifold Top Press Lab Freeze Dryer YG0266 is an advanced freeze-drying system designed for laboratory applications in medicine, pharmaceuticals, biological research, chemistry, and food production. This unit offers a vacuum freeze-drying process, also known as sublimation drying, which preserves the structural integrity and chemical properties of samples by removing moisture under vacuum conditions. With CFC-free refrigeration, an LCD display for real-time monitoring, and stainless steel components, this freeze dryer ensures efficiency, durability, and ease of operation. The pre-freezing function within the condenser enhances drying performance, while the low-noise compressor ensures a quiet working environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of samples can be processed with this freeze dryer?

It is suitable for biological samples, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food products, maintaining their integrity after freeze-drying.

• How does vacuum freeze-drying work?

The process involves freezing the sample first, then sublimating moisture under vacuum conditions, ensuring minimal degradation and long-term preservation.

• What are the advantages of using a freeze dryer with a manifold system?

The eight-port manifold allows for multiple flask connections, making it ideal for processing several samples simultaneously.

• Does the unit require a nitrogen valve?

The nitrogen valve is optional, allowing users to introduce an inert gas to protect sensitive samples from oxidation.
