The Virtis MVP probe system from SP Industries is a freeze-drying accessory designed to ensure reliable product temperature monitoring.
In the freeze-drying process it is vital to have accurate information on product temperature in order to process product as quickly as possible without exceeding critical temperature parameters.
Exceeding critical temperature parameters can create suboptimal freeze-drying conditions that may result in product degradation and a lack of post-process sample viability.
An overly cautious approach to raising the product temperature can result in product drying cycles that are excessively long and costly.
Designed to eliminate the difficult and awkward process of securing sensors in a freeze dryer vial, the MVP probe system repeatedly places the thermocouple sensor at the optimal spot to reliably monitor product temperature.
Using thin 30-gauge wire the MVP probe system has been designed to provide a greatly reduced thermal pathway to the product.
MVP probes are available from stock in a range of lengths to optimally operate with almost all commercial freeze-dryer vials from 2mL to 125mL, with either 13mm or 20mm neck sizes.
MVP probes are offered with a variety of plug configurations including standard thermoplastic, steam-sterilisable, lemo connector and 'no plug'.
