Why you should buy a small lab freeze dryer?
1.A small lab freeze dryer serves as a key tool before pilot and large-scale production, enabling researchers to simulate and optimize lyophilization process parameters such as temperature, vacuum, and drying time under small-scale conditions.
2.With a small lab freeze dryer, the impact of different process conditions on product quality, such as moisture content, active ingredient retention, appearance and structure, can be quickly assessed, thereby reducing risks and costs in large-scale production.
3.A small lab freeze dryer also provide a flexible test platform for new product development, helping companies to verify process feasibility in a short time to ensure that products meet the expected quality standards.

FAQ
What is the pre-delivery process for 5㎡ test freeze dryer?
Pre-Delivery Process for 5㎡ test freeze dryer:

Retains nutrients: Freeze-dried food retains up to 97% of its nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Long shelf life: Freeze-drying removes the potential for bacterial growth, so freeze-dried food can last for years. Maintains flavor and texture: Freeze-drying preserves the original shape, flavor, and texture of food. Sustainable: Freeze-drying reduces food waste and transportation and storage costs.
Freeze drying works by first freezing a substance, then lowering the pressure around it to a vacuum, which allows the frozen water to directly transition from a solid (ice) to a gas (water vapor) through a process called sublimation, effectively removing the water content without going through a liquid phase, thus preserving the material's structure and properties; this is often used to preserve food, pharmaceuticals, and biological samples by significantly extending their shelf life.
