SP Industries has announced a budget-priced version of its Virtis Advantage Plus laboratory freeze dryer that includes a package of accessories.
The packaged data collection and graphic trending software, stainless steel product trays, MVP product thermocouple probe positioning assembly and a 600ml filter seal flask assembly are offered free of charge on all new systems.
The Advantage Plus can freeze dry bulk product or be configured for applications in stoppered vials.
Side-mounted manifold valves provide the additional flexibility to freeze dry product in flasks.
Three refrigeration choices are available for the large six-litre capacity condenser, depending on the type of product and solvents being lyophilised.
The Advantage Plus can be configured with up to three fluid-cooled shelves that maintain temperature control.
At only 26in (66cm) wide, the Advantage Plus requires a minimal amount of bench space yet enables product to be safely processed on over 3ft2 (2,900cm2) of usable shelf area.
The Advantage Plus is equipped with the Wizard 2.0 controller, the same process control software included on larger Virtis freeze dryers.
The controller provides scientists with the ability to develop a complete freeze drying recipe together with the flexibility to program and control individual pressure and temperature settings at each step of the process.
