MINIFAST Series Freeze-Drying
Machine overview
Advanced. Mini. Fast.
Freeze-drying technology comes in all sizes and MINIFAST is the ideal size for the R&D requirements of a laboratory environment. MINIFAST is a laboratory solution designed according to the same technical performance and quality standards as a production-scale lyophiliser.
The product is available in MINIFAST 04 and MINIFAST 10 configurations, with shelf areas of 0.4 and 1.1 m2.
Product shelves are designed and manufactured using the IMA Life patented FUSION™ design to enhance performance, reduce operating costs and increase reliability.
