MicroFD R&D and Cycle Development Freeze Dryer

Meet MicroFD: A Revolution in Lyophilization

The MicroFD from Millrock Technology changes freeze drying research, development, and cycle transfer forever— a small-scale lyophilizer that delivers more with less:

• Total control over both the freezing and drying phases
• Real-time data for analysis and optimization
• Less of your valuable API, time, and costs

Proven to Develop Transferable Protocols
The MicroFD delivers a R&D and Cycle Development freeze dryer that:

• Takes the guesswork out of protocol development
• Uses less of your valuable product for R&D
• Enables analysis and optimization with as few as 7 vials
• Determines Kv, Sublimation Rate, Rp and other critical process parameters

Technology

Inside the MicroFD

Millrock Technology’s MicroFD has been refined and improved in partnership with industry experts who are passionate and driven to advance the products, processes, and performance of freeze drying technology. It requires no third-party hardware, and every feature you need is built-in.

LyoPAT^® state-of-the-art control capabilities to monitor and control every possible aspect of the freezing and drying processes.

The LyoSIM^®ring provides optimal process control via a closely coupled temperature source that can simulate center vials or the edge effect for process analysis. The close coupling of the LyoSIM ring results in far superior results than simply controlling the wall temperature.

AccuFlux^® the only technology that provides heat flow monitoring and control— including direct measurement of Kv and mass flow—throughout the entire freezing and primary drying processes.

AutoDry^® totally automates primary drying by driving as much heat into the product as possible without exceeding the critical product temperature.

FreezeBooster^® controlled nucleation enables the ability to study freezing approaches and its effect on the product and product cycle.

Millrock Reporter provides batch reporting in the format you design.

Features in the MicroFD are patented and patent pending.
