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 very low service requirements.
General Features:
- 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.
