Highlights: Organic Solvents Inorganic Solvents Tips for All Freeze Dryers A Few Notes Specific to Manifold Freeze Dryers Freeze dryers were originally designed and developed for use with water as the primary and only solvent. Today, it is not unusual to see inorganic acids and bases utilized as solvents, creating

The process of freeze drying (also known as lyophilization) consists of three major steps, including; freezing, primary drying and secondary drying. The primary drying phase is typically the longest and most complex part of the process. Therefore, methods to automatically determine the end of primary drying can speed help to

The vacuum pump is an integral part of freeze dryers and is pivotal to the freeze drying process in equipment today. The vacuum pump’s primary purpose during primary drying is to evacuate non-condensable gases from the system, thus creating the low pressure environment necessary for sublimation. In this discussion we
