Barnstead Stirring hotplate

Barnstead Stirring hotplate

Barnstead Cimarec is one of the many quality laboratory and scientific products that we have to offer at a very competitive pricing. This ceramic top stirrers have microprocessor feedback for precise control even with changes in viscosity. It delivers precise digital performance at an analog price. Besides, the microprocessor feedback control provides constant speed regardless of changes in viscosity and prevents runaway and magnetic decoupling. The direct-drive motor and magnet system permits quiet stirring meanwhile tight seal and safety trough ensure that accidental spills do not penetrate casing. This model also has power-on light, integrated ring-stand holder to accommodate 1.3 CM (0.5 IN) dia. support rod. With low-profile design and rugged base to prevent tipping and spillage, this model is definitely your perfect choice of stirring hotplate.

Laboratory Freeze Dryers up to 2 kg

Laboratory Freeze Dryers up to 2 kg

Freeze dryer ALPHA 1-2 LDplus

Total ice capacity 2,5 kg,
Ice condenser temperature –55°C.

Small but big in performance. For routine applications with new user friendly unit control LDplus (Lyo Display plus):

LDplus (Lyo Display plus) stands for a comfortable, easy-to-use and self-explaining user interface for controlling routine freeze drying processes, combining functionality and convenient operation:

  • Graphic LC display with a clear layout showing the most important process data (ice condenser temperature, process time, section time and vacuum)
  • Comfortable and self-explaining menu guidance in German, English or French language
  • Vacuum control for optimization/reduction of process times (electromagnetic pressure control valve available as accessory)
  • Conversion of product temperature and vacuum according to the vapour pressure curve above ice
  • RS-232 communications interface (PC) available as an option, e.g. for process documentation software LyoLog LL-1

Suitable for drying in 8 round bottom flaks, wide neck filter bottles, ampoules and on 3 unheated shelves (alternatively sealing device with 2 unheated shelves Ø 200 mm).

Laboratory Freeze Dryers

Flexible freeze drying systems for optimized processes:

Based on over 60 years of experience, Martin Christ presents a comprehensive product range covering routine applications as well as reliable equipment for individual and product specific drying processes. The newly introduced freeze dryers with LDplus- and LSCplus-controller set new standards for flexibility and process control. The modular accessory line allows for individual system configurations adaptable to almost every freeze-drying application. Two different drying techniques provide a solution to most lyophilisation challenges.

 

Your choice on two different freeze drying processes:

Process A

Single-Chamber-System, only for units with LSCplus-Controller:
Freezing and drying of low freezing and thermosensitive substances on cooled shelves (e.g. at -40°C) inside the ice condenser chamber .

Typical drying vessels:

  • dishes
  • injection vials (stoppering under vacuum or inert gas)
Process B

Double-Chamber-System

Separate pre-freezing (e.g. in a deep freezer) and drying of less sensitive material outside the ice condenser chamber.

Typical drying vessels:

  • dishes
  • injection vials (stoppering under vacuum or inert gas)
  • round-bottom-flasks, wide neck filter bottles
  • ampoules

Special features of Martin Christ freeze dryers:

  • Compact and powerful benchtop units with minimized space requirements.
  • Modular concept for easy enlargement of the capacity with comprehensive range of accessories.
  • Ice condenser chamber with inner condenser coil of high-quality steel allows for efficient vapour deposition.
  • High-quality insulation of the ice condenser chamber reduces performance losses and avoids condensate formation.
  • Ice condenser can be checked visually; easily accessible; rapid, easy defrosting and cleaning.
  • Drying chamber is located directly above the ice condenser chamber with large cross-section provides high sublimation performance and reduced drying times.
  • Pressure regulation for exact temperature control of the material analog to the vapour pressure curve for ice and water.
  • Process-oriented control interfaces LDplus (Lyo Display) and LSC (Lyo Screen Control) for exact and reproducible measurement and control of all process relevant parameters, like vacuum, shelf temperature.

Ice condenser capacities for every individual application:

When selecting the suitable freeze dryer the following points have to be considered besides the decision on the accessories and drying vessels:

  • The required ice condenser temperature (-55°C for aqueous material, -85°C for products containing solvents or low-eutectic material).
  • The maximum ice condenser performance (capacity per 24 hours resp. total capacity until defrosting).
  • In addition to that, the needed shelf areas to produce the wished amount of samples.

Make your choice out of the comprehensive range of basic units and individual accessories.
