The expanded range of Telstar Freeze Dryers from Progen Scientific Limited includes the following models:
Benchtop Laboratory Freeze Dryers - CRYODOS
The CRYODOS is a laboratory freeze dryer specially developed for basic research in biotechnology and scientific institutes. The unit is designed and constructed according to GLP requirements. The equipment is easy to use and has numerous features including :
Bench mounted table-top unit which houses the refrigeration system and the vacuum pump. Constructed in a steel stove enamelled cabinet with front door for maintenance purposes.
- Two stage vacuum pump: supplied with gas ballast to remove water vapour or other condensibles that could reach the pump. Exhaust filter provided.
- Air-cooled refrigeration system: hermetically sealed; ozone friendly refrigerant.
- Condenser: consisting of a co-axial coil inside a drum type manifold. A top transparent acrylic lid provides viewing of the ice forming process.
- Ready to work: the 8-off ¾" (18mm.) diameter rubber valves allow the connecting of several accessories to freeze dry simultaneously products in flasks (29/32mm. connection), vials or bulk, as required by the user.
- Hardness and durability: coil and drum constructed in AISI-316 stainless steel.
- Microprocessor controlled system: a digital screen gives direct read-out of current condenser and vacuum temperatures during the various stages of the cycle .
Many accessories are available to support the products which are detailed on our website along with technical data.
The LIOALFA 6 is a general purpose laboratory freeze dryer designed for use in research in biotechnology, clinical and pharmaceutical fields. The equipment is very flexible and can be used for simultaneous freeze drying in flasks, vials or bulk by connection to various manifold systems or to a chamber. The unit is designed and manufactured according to GLP requirements.
General Features:
- Compact designed base unit complete with castors for easy mobility, constructed in a steel stove enamelled cabinet with stainless steel front and rear doors for service purposes
- Simple connection for the operation systems: chambers, tube manifolds )see accessories)
- Two stage vacuum pump, supplied with gas ballast to remove water vapour or other condensibles that could reach the pump. Exhaust filter included.
- Air-cooled refrigeration system: hermetically sealed; ozone friendly refrigerant.
- Easy viewing of ice formation in condenser through a transparent acrylic door.
- Control system by microprocessor with digital screen.
- Read-out of vacuum and condenser temperatures.
- Adjustment and read-out of shelves and product temperatures (only with chamber as accessory).

Laboratory Freeze Dryers - LyoBeta
The new Series LyoBeta lyophilisers are laboratory units that have been designed specifically for advanced research centres, keeping in mind that initial development of new drugs is one of the most critical issues for its final commercial success. The LyoBeta is a compact unit with castors, constructed in a steel stove enamelled cabinet. The equipment is supplied fully assembled, including the vacuum and refrigeration system and necessary elements, ready for operation after connecting to the utility services.
General features:
- The design of this unit offers the best capabilities for R. & D. activities. It has been equipped with the appropriate components, devices and sensors to control processing conditions: temperature, pressure and time. This allows defining the process variables to achieve adequate control and reproducibility.
- Optimisation of process recipes is easily performed by means of condenser valve , which allows for pressure rise testing and thermodynamic control. This valve also permits proceeding with the product loading and unloading without defrosting the condenser if it has not reached full capacity. The refrigeration system, water-cooled, is capable of reaching -80oC in the condenser and -50oC on the shelves
- Heating and cooling rates of 1oC / minute achieved which are similar to Telstar's production freeze dryers.
- Chamber and shelves made from AISI 316 L stainless steel and fully accessible inside for cleaning purposes. The condenser, which is also AISI 316 L stainless steel, has a rapid ice-defrosting device, which works by means of a group of external electrical resistors. Both the chamber and the condenser have transparent acrylic doors to facilitate viewing of the process.
- Precise control and temperature uniformity. The unique LyoBeta thermal fluid circulation system guarantees uniform heat transfer at all the shelves. The LyoBeta has the vacuum sensor in the chamber (rather than in vacuum pump line), which makes possible monitoring and controlling the pressure which comprises the environment where the product is exposed. This allows studying and obtaining finest scale-up results.
- Control system based on PLC and user friendly touch screen guarantees maximum reliability and reproducibility in the process, totally adapting the equipment to cGLP.
- The system allows control of the freeze dryer functions via a graphic HMI (Human Machine Interface) user interface, which offers the following possibilities:
-
- displaying of information on system elements (valves, motors, indicators, etc.)
- receiving information from alarms
- acting within the parameters of the freeze dryer cycle
- eliminating the possibility of error- protecting the system from unauthorised use
- recipes development
- The user interface presents information in an attractive and intelligible manner on a graphic 6" touch screen, through which different data screens can be accessed by means of touch zones
- LyoLogger. Optionally the equipment can be connected to different peripherals, such as a chart recorder, printer or PC. The LyoLogger data acquisition software is recommended for better store and collection of data such as: graphs, events, alarms and history *ASCII files) through a serial port. This software can also be used to simulate a freeze drying process when it is not connected to the PLC.
Many accessories are available to support the products which are detailed on our website along with technical data.
