Outstanding features
- Extremely compact bench mounted table-top unit. Large capacities of condensation (6 kg/24 h) in the minimum possible space.
- Two different process oriented control systems, both PLC based, adapts the unit to every requirement:
I. Basic control for LyoQuest Series: allows automatic pressure control and shelves temperature control.
II. Plus control for LyoQuest Plus Series: allows automatic pressure control and shelves temperature programming.
III. Touch screen that displays system operation parameters and alarm messages. Descriptive and timely information display and setting selection is provided.
IV. Monitoring software (LyoLogger) to connect unit to PC available. - LyoQuest Plus allows fully automatic or semiautomatic work. Auto-start up and automatic switch off routines are included.
- Pressure control: manual control (for LyoQuest Series) or automatic control of vacuum (for LyoQuest Plus Series) for faster freeze drying and reproducible results.
- Side mounted vacuum and drain connections with valves.
- Upright AISI 316L condenser with total capacity of 8 kg, which permits freezing of the samples.
- Automatic defrosting function. Condenser design allows easy and quick cleaning and defrosting.
- Two choices of temperature: -55°C and -85°C.
- Wide range of accessories and options to accommodate every freeze drying application.
