LyoStar 3

The LyoStar3 is designed to meet the needs of R&D professionals. Our freeze drying equipment is used for applications ranging from process development for scale-up to product processing for stability studies to formulations work.

The LyoStar is an R&D and process development freeze-dryer that provides unmatched process accuracy, reliability and unique ease-of-use features. The LyoStar features Type T thermocouple-controlled shelf temperature accuracy of +/- 0.5°C or better and vacuum control within 0.1% of set-point. Its robust 5.5 hp cascade refrigeration system enables shelf pull down from ambient to –40°C in less than 25 minutes, and the ultra-reliable scroll compressors feature just 3 moving parts.


Features:

• SMART Freeze-Dryer Technology helps automate and shorten the development of freeze-drying cycles
• Delivers product information that has previously been unavailable during a cycle - dried layer resistance, heat flow and mass transfer
• Designed to facilitate scale up bu maximizing features in comon with well-designed commercial systems
• Configured with superior instrumentation for complete process information - isolation valve, capacitance manometers, Pirani gauge, 16 thermocouples, Allen Bradley PLC
• Available with 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software and full validation packages

Benefits:

• Substantially decrease cycle development time and conserves valuable API
• Delivers increased process information such as how different freezing protocols impact cake resistance
• More easily transfer cycles to larger systems
• Maximizes process control, repeatablility
• Meets even the most stringent QA requirements

Applications:

• Formulation development and stability studies
• Cycle optimization and scale-up
• Lyophilization of product with organic solvents in addition to water
• Laboratory research and development and/or small production freeze drying
• Diagnostic kits
• 96 well plates
• Serum bottles and vials
