The VirTis Benchtop is a compact, and competitively priced freeze-drying unit which incorporates a
number of practical features.
Benchtop "BTK" series freeze dryers are designed to sit on a laboratory bench or
small laboratory cart. They can easily handle bulk, vial or flask drying. Condenser temperatures range from
-55°C to -105°C mean that they are able to suit most applications. Condenser capacities from 2 to 5 litres in 24 hours
(total capacity 3 to 9 litres) and a comprehensive range of accessories ensure the BTK series of freeze
dryers are the most flexible units available and particularly suited to situations where space is limited.
The BTK series incorporate a unique, patented two position shelf allowing both freezing and freeze-drying
in the condenser chamber - useful if a low temperature freezer is not available. Standard features also include
vacuum control for faster freeze-drying, and a special integrated hot gas defrost function for fast turn around
times, so no hot water is required.
Additional options include many different lucite and stainless steel manifold designs, heated and unheated
shelf racks and stoppering assemblies allowing users to tailor the BTK for their specific freeze-drying process.
Also available is the patented drying rate windmill, which provides the user with a quick visual indication when
freeze-drying is complete.
The VirTis SLC microprocessor control system is standard on all BTK's providing users with an easy-to-use
interface with full function control, precise vacuum regulation, digital vacuum and temperature monitoring, system
alarms and even alerts the user when the vacuum pump oil requires changing.
Optionally available for the BT4K and BT6K is the ALC control system. This offers all the features of the SLC
system along with precise temperature control of optional product drying racks, recipe driven cycles and an expanded
alarm package. Optional workstation software will soon be available allowing complete data collection and historical
trending of freeze-drying cycles.
In addition to a new competitive pricing structure, the BTK is being offered with a 'Complimentary Gift Package' which provides
basic accessories required for freeze-drying.
