Freezing process in freeze dryer

This is the freezing or pre-freezing stage for freeze-dried samples. Normally, samples are stored in trays or vials, put into a separate deep cabinet or put into a freeze-dryer tray with deep cooling capability directly on the machine.

  • The pre-freezing or freezing stage in freeze-drying is important to the efficiency and speed of the freeze-drying process.
  • This stage can be divided into heat treatment steps including:
  • The faster the temperature drops, the faster and more crumbly the crystal solidifies.
  • As a result, the freeze-drying process taking place in the freeze-dryer will take longer and be less effective.

Therefore, choosing a lyophilizer that integrates heat treatment steps to solidify the sample over time during the freeze-drying process is very important, not just simply: "freeze the sample". .

SP Scientific (ATS) USA, is the world's leading manufacturer of lyophilizers, with product lines ranging from laboratory-scale lyophilizers, pilot-scale lyophilizers, and production-scale lyophilizers.

Laboratory Freeze Drying Machine: used for scientific fields such as: Biology and biotechnology, Physical Chemistry, pharmacy, life sciences...

Characteristics of laboratory lyophilizer:

  • Equipped with pre-freezing function (cooling, freezing of samples): can program temperature changes over time with controllable temperature adjustment speed. This step helps control the ice crystal formation process.

  • Equipped with heat programming function on sample tray: including primary drying and secondary drying. See more thermal processes in freeze-drying here
  • Primary drying helps remove unbound water.
  • Secondary drying helps remove water that is physicochemically bonded to the substance of interest.
  • Laboratory lyophilizers usually have a 316L stainless steel chamber structure, which helps prevent microbiological cross-contamination.
  • Can integrate automatic vial closing function.
