New! Multi-Shelf Benchtop Freeze Dryer

July 2007

Biopharma is pleased to unveil the next generation of lab-scale, bench-top freeze dryers - the VirTis AdVantage Plus.

The VirTis AdVantage has long been recognised for being the smallest shelf freeze-dryer available. Although designed for benchtop use the AdVantage is packed with features including state-of-the-art controls and full shelf temperature control. But now the AdVantage has evolved. With no increase in footprint the AdVantage Plus is available with up to 3 shelves, giving a maximum useable shelf area of 0.27m2, condenser capacity of up to 6 litres and a low temperature of -85°C.

The shelves of the AdVantage Plus are silicone-cooled to maintain the kind of tight temperature normally found in production units. Pneumatic stoppering is available as an option to easily seal 3 shelves of vials at any pre-determined chamber pressure via an inert gas back-fill port. As with the single-shelf AdVantage, the AdVantage Plus has complete flexibility to process in bulk, vials or external flasks using the side-mounted valves.

The AdVantage Plus features the powerful Wizard2.0 control system, which allows storage of up to 16 recipes each with multi-step freezing and drying capability, alarms and diagnostics. Optional software allows the user the connect an external OC for improved data manipulation and control and full historical trending.
