Freeze Dryers

Laboratory freeze dryers, also known as lyophilizers, are sophisticated instruments used to remove moisture from samples while preserving their structural integrity and biological activity. The freeze-drying process involves freezing the sample and then reducing the surrounding pressure, allowing ice to sublimate directly into vapor without passing through a liquid phase. This technique is widely utilised in pharmaceuticals, food science, and biotechnology for preserving sensitive materials such as proteins, enzymes, and microorganisms. Freeze-dried products are lightweight, shelf-stable, and can be easily reconstituted by adding water. By maintaining the quality and functionality of samples, laboratory freeze dryers play a crucial role in research and development, ensuring effective long-term storage and transportation of valuable materials.
