SP Scientific
The new VirTis BenchTop Pro freeze dryer range from SP Scientific has been designed to be highly affordable, yet meet the needs of the most demanding research laboratories. Each system can be configured to meet present and future needs.
Condenser refrigeration packages of -55, -75, -85 and -105˚C meet the demands of both aqueous or aqueous solvent based formulations. Systems can be configured for smaller sample numbers or to process a relatively heavy workload with condenser size choices of 3, 8 or 9 l. This built-in flexibility maximises use of the freeze dryer and eliminates paying for unnecessary capacity or refrigeration.
Manifolds are available in a variety of easily interchangeable styles. In applications where inorganic solvents are being utilised or the customer is rack drying and wants to ensure visibility, an acrylic manifold is the option of choice. For laboratories tasked with organic solvent applications, the stainless steel manifolds will provide a lifetime of use.
Traditional time losses incurred from lengthy condenser defrost and clean-up procedures are minimised with the new hot-gas defrost facility on the BenchTop Pro.
Designed for both the occasional user and freeze drying expert, the BenchTop Pro Omnitronics controller simplifies freeze drying and makes the system easy to operate. One-touch startup and shutdown ensure that product and freeze dryer are protected from inadvertent operational procedures. An intuitive graphic display provides users with at-a-glance understanding of the status of the freeze dryer and whether or not appropriate freeze drying conditions exist. Audible alarms help notify the user of potential problems with the system and hence, with the product.
All Omnitronics controllers come complete with a trending screen that allows the user to watch critical parameters on an ongoing basis if required. Utilising optional ethernet control, the freeze dryer can be connected to a network and be monitored and controlled from any other location on the network. The ethernet option also allows printout in a batch record, alpha-numeric type report.
