VirTis Genesis 25L Pilot Freeze Dryer

VirTis Genesis 25L: Versatile Pilot Freeze Dryer for Research and Production

The VirTis Genesis 25L is a high-quality pilot freeze dryer designed to offer exceptional versatility in research, development and small-scale production applications. Benefiting from ATS Scientific Products' renowned build quality and modern functionality, this compact and mobile unit fits easily into a variety of working environments. Its intuitive colour touchscreen and Ethernet compatibility optimise workflows and freeze-drying. With a wide range of options and extensions, the VirTis Genesis Pilot allows for an easy transition from research to production. Whether you are in academic research, biotechnology, the pharmaceutical industry or industrial manufacturing, this adaptable freeze dryer will meet your specific needs.

The VirTis Genesis 25L pilot freeze dryer, the result of SP Scientific's innovation and expertise, stands out for its flexibility and robustness. Offering more than 100 possible configurations, it is perfectly suited to the requirements of research laboratories, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and industrial production sites. The choice between manual controls and automation with cGMP data monitoring for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance allows for extensive customisation. A specific configuration for clean rooms is also available.   

In keeping with SP Scientific's commitment to quality, the VirTis Genesis 25L incorporates the same controls and features as the brand's industrial freeze dryers. The shelves and chamber are made of high-quality, chemical-resistant 316L stainless steel. Its standard 4-inch steam port and heat transfer fluid shelves facilitate the simulation of larger-scale production configurations, ensuring a smooth transition. Precise vacuum level control and temperature uniformity across the shelves guarantee optimal results. The smart design with a front-accessible vacuum pump simplifies maintenance and minimises downtime. In addition, the smooth-walled, easy-to-defrost condenser speeds up the cycle between operations. The VirTis Genesis 25L is ideal for a variety of applications, including freeze-drying for small-scale production, diagnostic kits, bone and tissue engineering, processing of 96-well plates, serum vials and bulk products for analysis (plant material, organic tissue, waste).
