VirTis Freezemobile®

Freeze-drying has never been simpler.

The VirTis Freezemobile® is born from more than 35 years of design and manufacturing experience, delivering a freeze dryer that is as efficient as it is versatile. With easy installation, our free-standing appliance ensures you get up and running as fast as possible. And, because we understand that your requirements are unique to you, we offer the choice of a wide variety of manifolds and accessories. Whatever your application — from peptide production to protein purification — we’ve got you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What manifold and accessory options are available?
Freezemobile supports a Vertical Manifold Assembly (4-, 8-, 12-, 24-, or 48-port stainless steel) and Horizontal "T" Manifolds (1-, 2-, or 3-tier stainless steel), along with additional standard and custom accessories, flask adapters, and glassware.
Are oil changes easy?
Yes. Removable front and side panels give easy access to the vacuum pump. The pump has a drain line, so oil can be checked after each cycle by draining a small sample, and a fill plug with a sight glass, making it easy to add new oil. The Sentry 2.0 controller also tracks vacuum pump running hours and triggers a maintenance alarm to prompt oil changes.
What sample formats does Freezemobile support?
Freezemobile processes samples in flasks (via Quickseal valves on a manifold) and in vials or trays on manifold shelves within a drum manifold or chamber.
Is there vacuum control on Freezemobile?
Yes. The Sentry 2.0 controller provides a Vacuum Control field with selectable modes: None (disabled), VLC (bleeds gas into the system to hold a vacuum setpoint), and Power Save (isolates the system to maintain vacuum).
Is Freezemobile easy to defrost and clean?
Yes. Freezemobile uses hot gas defrost, which loosens ice from the condenser walls. Because the ice doesn't need to fully melt, it can often be removed before the cycle finishes, so a full defrost isn't always necessary. Once the ice is out, the smooth-walled, stainless-steel condenser and clear acrylic door make the condenser easy to inspect and clean.
What size flasks and adapters are available?
Wide Mouth Filter Seal™ flasks are available in 40 mL, 75 mL, 150 mL, 300 mL, 600 mL, 1,200 mL and 2,000 mL capacities. Adapters (glass, stainless steel or black nylon; straight or 45° angle) connect these flasks to any manifold valve port, with sizing for both the 150 mL to 2,000 mL range and the smaller 40 mL and 75 mL flasks.
Can Freezemobile handle a variety of applications?
Absolutely! Freezemobile is designed for versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of industries and applications including but not limited to:
  • Small-Molecule Compounds
  • HPLC Fractions
  • Natural Product Extracts
  • Protein Purification & Stabilization
  • Enzymes
  • Antibodies
What kind of training is available for operators?
We offer Remote Freeze-Drying Training and Hands-On Training Opportunities to ensure operators can effectively and sustainably utilize Freezemobile. These programs help maximize cycle efficiency and optimize system performance.
