SP Scientific has launched the AdVantage Pro laboratory freeze dryer, combining development and pilot scale capabilities in a bench top unit.
The ergonomically designed model features an Intellitronics controller for enhanced functionality, as well as an intuitive touch screen navigation.
Designed for the occasional user or freeze drying expert, the AdVantage Pro with Intellitronics claims to offer freeze drying with easy operation.
One touch start-up and shut down prevent inadvertent operational procedures. Integrated performance and leak testing ensure optimal performance.
Product features:
- Intuitive full colour touch screen display provide information on freeze dryer status and freeze drying conditions.
- Alarm alerts, delivered via email.
- Ethernet control enables connection to the network and control from remote locations.
- Recipe customisation (up to ten thermal treatment and 12 drying steps), cope with even the most complex freeze drying protocols.
- Ability to freeze dry bulk product or configure for applications in stoppered vials.
- Optional top-down pneumatic stoppering.
- Sophisticated and accurate Pirani gauge to measure and control vacuum.
- Side-mounted manifold valves provide the additional flexibility to freeze dry product in flasks.
Two refrigeration choices (-70°C and -85°C) are available for the six-litre capacity condenser, depending on the type of product and solvents being lyophilised.
Featuring the latest advances in benchtop freeze drying, the AdVantage Pro can be configured with up to three fluid-cooled shelves which maintain precise temperature control.
It incorporates silicone flooded shelves and maintains a precise level of temperature control ( /- 0.5°C) previously available only in pilot/production scale freeze dryers. The advanced condenser coil can hold a total of six litres before defrosting.
At 26in (66 cm) wide, the Advantage Pro requires a minimal amount of bench space, whilst enabling product to be safely processed on over 3 ft2 (2,766 cm2) of usable shelf area.
It comes with a two year refrigeration warranty and includes CE marking.
