CD8 Freeze Dryer Brochure
The CryoDry® CD8 benchtop freeze dryer is a versatile and user-friendly tray freeze dryer that delivers full control over the freeze-drying process. With a manual or automatic operation mode this freeze dryer can be easily programmed with up to 16 steps, for customizable recipes.
The CD8 boasts 8 kg ice capacity, with up to 4 kg of ice removed from the product per 24 hours. 5 electrically heated shelves and 5 stainless steel trays are included as standard.
All-in-one-Process
In the past users have been forced to freeze their product in poorly controlled environments (such as deep freezers), and then transfer into a lyophiliser for drying. This causes undesirable ice formation and potentially product transfer related melt-back – both of which negatively impact on drying behaviour, performance and, ultimately, product quality.
Autodry
The new and innovative autodry mode is perfect for beginners or users who do not want to setup their own drying programs. The program uses an advanced algorithm to determine drying progress. It automatically adapts drying parameters and identifies process end.
Easy Load
Easy to load and unload cupboard style chamber.
Fast
Cooled and heated shelves for fast freezing and even faster drying. Typical time savings of more than 60% (based on in-house study, compared with passive systems)
The CryoDry® CD8 benchtop freeze dryer is a high-quality, tray freeze dryer designed to meet the needs of most freeze dryer users such as analytical and science laboratories. This state-of-the-art freeze dryer offers full control over the freeze-drying process, allowing users to customize their recipes with up to 16 steps. Whether you prefer manual or automatic operation, the CD8 can be easily programmed to meet your specific requirements.
With an impressive 8 kg ice capacity, the CD8 can process large batches of product in a single cycle. Capable of removing up to 4 kg of ice from the product per 24 hours, the CD8 is an ideal choice for high-volume applications. The CD8 comes with 5 electrically heated shelves in our unique Sandwich Shelf Stack Design which provides premium temperature control accuracy and even heat distribution to ensure uniform drying of the product.
