The Danish company Labogene has more than thirty years of manufacturing experience in freeze-dryers. For larger sample volumes, as a central unit for research institutes, or for small-scale industrial production, the ScanVac CoolSafe Superior range is recommended.
The units are available in three configurations: Pro, Superior Bulk (for bulk freeze-drying), and Superior Vial (for freeze-drying vials).
- Ice condenser temperature: -55°C or -95°C; the -95°C trap provides more efficient freeze-drying and protects the vacuum pump from aggressive chemicals
- Condenser (ice trap) volume: 80 liters; maximum ice capacity: 40 kg; capacity: 10 kg/24 hours
- Horizontally arranged condenser, made of AISI 316 stainless steel
- Seamless stainless steel condenser - cooling coils located outside the chamber wall for longer service life, easier cleaning, and simpler ice removal
- Electric defrosting as standard equipment
- Transparent acrylic door for observing the process
- Suitable for pre-freezing, freeze-drying, and post-drying of samples in a single unit
- Automatic sample freezing (pre-freezing): down to -40°C (-80°C)
- Automatic program steps: pre-freezing, primary and secondary drying phases; 15-step program sequence; 5-step pre-freezing for optimal ice formation; 10-step shelf heating
- Microprocessor control, RS 232 output and USB connection
- LCD display: condenser and shelf temperature (optionally sample temperature as well), vacuum level
- Optional computer control for managing and documenting the entire process (time, temperature, pressure)
- Size: depth x width x height: 79 x 88 x 116 cm; weight: 230 kg
- Low noise level: < 53 dBA
- Recommended vacuum pump: minimum 6 m3/h capacity, e.g. Vacuubrand RZ 6 rotary vane vacuum pump
Typical applications: microbiological, food industry and chemical research; pharmaceutical research and production; quality control; research and production of vaccines and antitoxins; gentle drying of foods (fish, shellfish, milk and dairy products, vegetables, mushrooms, berries) for long-term shelf life; sample preparation of tissues and cells for electron microscopy; preservation of human and animal tissue and bone; long-term preservation of archaeological materials (wood, leather, textiles); preservation of water-damaged books and documents.
Models: CoolSafe 95/55-80 Superior BULK (for bulk freeze-drying, up to 8 heated shelves, total area 1.2 m²); CoolSafe 95/55-80 Superior VIAL (for freeze-drying vials, with a pneumatic stoppering unit, up to five heated shelves, total area 0.65 m², vials can be sealed under vacuum or after inert gas backfilling).
