LYOVAC® Small-Scale Freeze Dryers
Extending its range of LYOVAC® freeze dryers, GEA now offers both integrated and standalone equipment for the production of small-scale batches and formulation or process development
Pilot Freeze Dryer LYOVAC® FCM 10-P
The highly flexible standalone FCM 10-P freeze dryer from GEA has been designed for the production of small-scale batches and formulation/process development. Also available as a wall-mounted option, this two-chamber unit is configured to industry standards.
With a capacity of 10 kg and shelf space of 0.63 m², the FCM 10-P also benefits from easy-access doors and spare flanges for validation and/or additional equipment.
Using the same FALCO control system as the production unit, allowing direct recipe transfer during scale-up, the FCM 10-P is GLP/GMP-compliant.
Available options:
- IQ/OQ documentation and test performance
- Wireless temperature sensors
- Sterilization by VHP (VAPOVAC™) or steam depending on the availability of utilities
- Process development service
- LYOSPARK© controlled nucleation
- LYOPLUS© mass spectrometer for silicone oil detection or alternative end-point detection
