MAGNUM ® SERIES Pilot Freeze-Dryer/Lyophilizer-1

THE MAGNUM offers up to 20 sq ft of shelf area with a condensing rate of 30 liters. Not only does the price/ performance beat anything in its class, but Millrock also provides the most advanced controls/user interface, as a standard feature. The standard controls are PC/PLC based, offering data collection and self-testing features. Our easy-to-use software provides automatic freezedrying, defrost, system and leak rate testing. Data can be printed either numerically or graphically. This same control system is used on industrial dryers, allowing scaling to production. An interactive maintenance screen simplifies component servicing. All systems are remotely accessible, with customer approval, for troubleshooting process issues. Advanced system options include FreezeBooster® Controlled Nucleation, Auto-Dry™ Protocol Optimization, AccuFlux™, and LyoPAT™ In-Process, Process Analytical Technology. The combination provides the ideal platform for simplified and optimized protocol development. THE MAGNUM has been developed from over 50 years of experience in the freeze drying world. The standard system design provides a highly reliable platform for your freeze drying needs. Using more robust refrigeration components ensures the highest performance and reliability available. In addition, the system is designed to be more tolerant of fluctuations in room temperature and supply voltage, which are common issues with lower end systems. Unique design features include: more accurate vacuum sensors; no rubber hoses; no vapor flow choke points; superior shelf temperature uniformity; reduced shelf temperature transition times; increased stoppering pressure; and more, to ensure that the equipment is not a limit to your freeze drying needs.
