LyoBeta series A Responsible Choice New demands in R+D centers are related to scale-up feasibility and quality of procedures and research methods. FDA investigators consider that transfer of technology from R+D departments to clinical trials and later commercial production is carried out with lack of strictness and poor documentation practices. Therefore, they are emphasizing on the concept of cGMP as a quality oversight, comprising all practices in R+D and production processes. The new LyoBeta Series lyophilizers are laboratory units that have been designed specifically for advanced research...

Control system Based on PLC and user Friendly TOUCH-SCREEN One of the main new features of the LyoBeta Series freeze-dryers is the incorporation of a non-proprietary PLC, instead of the classic microprocessor, more commonly used in this type of equipment. This system, fully proven in the industrial models, guarantees maximum reliability and reproducibility in the process, totally adapting the equipment to cGLP. The system allows control of the freeze-dryer functions via a graphic HMI (Human Machine Interface) user interface, which offers the following possibilities: • Displaying of information...

Design features The LyoBeta is a compact unit with castors, constructed in a steel stove-enamelled cabinet. The equipment is supplied fully assembled, including the vacuum and refrigerating system and all necessary elements, ready for operation after connecting to the utility services. Efficient Design THE DESIGN OF THIS UNIT OFFERS THE BEST CAPABILITIES FOR R+D ACTIVITIES. LyoBeta has been equipped with the appropriate components, devices and sensors to control processing conditions: temperature, pressure and time. This allows defining the process variables to achieve adequate control and reproducibility....

The best Solutions for Advanced Research Center High Quality and Superior Craftsmanship THE CHAMBER AND SHELVES HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED WITH THE SAME PHILOSOPHY AS PRODUCTION UNITS. They are made entirely from stainless steel AISI 316 L and they are fully accessible inside for cleaning purposes. The condenser, which is also made of AISI 316 L, has a rapid ice-defrosting device, which works by means of a group of external electrical resistors. Both the chamber and the condenser have transparent acrylic doors to facilitate viewing of the process. Drying chamber Precise Control and Temperature Uniformity...
