MAGNUM® XL Pilot Freeze Dryer
Expanded Capacity for R&D and Small Scale Production
Offering up to 30 sq ft (2.787 sq M) of shelf area with a condensing capacity of 30 liters and a condensing rate of 20 liters in 24 hours, the MAGNUM XL Pilot Freeze Dryer stands out amongst the competition. This lyophilizer offers 30% more shelf area than most other units in its class. While the MAGNUM XL is commonly used for R&D purposes in the lab, it is the perfect lyophilizer for small scale production. This unit is designed for lower moisture content products such as Tissue, Diagnostics, Medical Devices, and more.
Our easy-to-use software provides automatic freeze-drying, 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.
