- Reliable performance
- Precise, calibrated control
- Supports academic & industry research
Simple booking for researchers, faculty and industry teams.
Enabling better research
Shared facilities for a stronger research community.
About this facility
Laboratory freeze dryer for the dehydration of biological extracts, culture supernatants, nanoparticle suspensions and pharmaceutical formulations. Sublimation under vacuum preserves structure and activity that oven drying would destroy. Cycles typically run 18-48 hours, so bookings are usually two to three days.
