SP Industries is planning to introduce the Lyostar pilot plant freeze dryer at Achema 2009, in Frankfurt.
The Lyostar enables maximum programming flexibility and product protection whether the product is processed in vials, bulk trays, 96-well plates or syringes.
The Lyostar uses GE Proficy iFIX 5.0 software and incorporates features such as programmable pressure-ramping to better match commercial-scale systems.
The Lyostar features superior shelf mapping, fast shelf-freezing, stoppering for vials, ease of use, high reliability and software that reduces average research and development cycle times.
Lyostar uses Smart freeze-dryer technology, which enables experts and novices to quickly develop new cycles while ensuring those cycles are elegant and efficient.
The Smart tools provide instant feedback on important product data - such as product resistance, heat flow and product thickness - that was previously unavailable.
