Description
Freeze drying provides controlled desiccation of frozen samples at low pressure via sublimation of water content. The Millrock BT-48 unit has a 6-port manifold with various chamber volumes to accommodate a wide range of samples, and can produce a condenser temperature of approximately -50° C. Temperature and pressure control required for controlled freeze-drying PT pathways is not available. Samples volatilizing toxic gases are not permitted on the instrument.
Samples are typically frozen prior to freeze-drying. Freezers are not available on site.
Techniques
