Production freeze dryers have achieved the recognition of being the highest performing machines in the industry. Typical shelf freezing and vapor collecting capacities are unmatched. Coupled with this is our easy to use intuitive control system, the Opti-Dry. The units can be fully validated and they are built to cGMP guidelines. We offer shelf areas from 3 to 300 plus square feet (.3 to 30 square meters) with matching condensers to handle the most aggressive loads possible. Virtually all combinations of features and options are available.
