Epsilon pilot-scale freeze dryers aid production-scale technology and are used for up-scaling laboratory research, production freeze-drying cycle development and small-scale production.
The entry-model Epsilon 2-4 D achieves a shelf temperature range of -70C to +80C.
The 2-4 D is available with one shelf with an area of 0.11M2.
The ice condenser temperature reaches below -80C.
The anodised aluminium shelves are electronically heated and passively cooled, making the 2-4D an economic model appropriate for experimental and routine freeze drying.
The Epsilon 2-6 D has a shelf temperature range of -50C to +60C.
The 2-6 D is available with four shelves with an area of 0.28M2.
The maximum distance between shelves is 75mm (with three shelves).
The ice condenser has a temperature of -85C, which ensures the shortest possible drying times and optimal protection of the included vacuum pump.
All shelves are actively cooled and heated, allowing unmatched control of the process.
Martin Christ uses a three-compressor design to ensure the highest cooling rates during product freezing and stable shelf temperatures during the drying process.
The 2-6D fulfils the highest standards for pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
Epsilon 2-10 D has a shelf temperature range of -45C to +60C.
The 2-10 D is available with a maximum of seven shelves with an area of 0.84M2.
The maximum distance between shelves is 70mm (with five shelves).
Like the Epsilon 2-6D, the 2-10D has an ice-condenser temperature of -85C and features three compressors.
All freeze dryers feature LSC, a professional programmable user-interface.
The LSC controller allows free programming of all functions, including pre-freezing, main drying and final drying.
Alarm and sample protection functions protect the product from melting.
Epsilon series freeze dryers allow the use of Lyosensor LC 1, which combines temperature and electrical resistance measurement for precise freezing-point measurement.
Windows-based LPC-32 software is available for PC process control and documentation.
LPC-32 is used in large freeze-drying production systems and fulfils GAMP and cGMP and CFR 21 part 11 guidelines.
The Epsilon series freeze dryers can be upgraded or modified to meet the individual requirements for process optimisation and scale-up.
