VirTis General Purpose Freeze Dryer (GPFD)
With widely varied applications that are typically troublesome — including drying archaeological artifacts and recovering water-damaged archival materials to preparing museum specimens of plants and animals — the VirTis General Purpose Freeze Dryer (GPFD) leaves damaging restoration processes in the past.
Ideal for bulky products where low energy input and long freeze-drying cycles are required, our GPFD also provides extra sample capacity for applications with very low moisture products. And, with adjustable condenser refrigeration packages, you can maximize your results while minimizing energy output for an environmentally friendly approach to freeze-drying.
Features & Benefits
- Size doesn’t matter — drying large items is no problem; remove sublimated ice as you go with our mid-cycle defrost option
- Easy progress monitoring — clear acrylic chamber doors allow you to visualize the freeze-drying process, every step of the way
- Process large batches with ease — single run condenser capacities of 25L or 35L
- Convenient — easy installation with a free-standing and mobile design that means you can set up anywhere
- Wide variety of product solvents — temperatures down to -85ºC and up to 60°C
- Reduced turn-around time — smooth-wall condenser enables fast defrost and ice removal, alleviating the vapor port ice blockages that are common in traditional systems
- Long-term dependability
