Biomedical freeze dryers are lyophilization systems for research and development of biological and diagnostic materials — vaccines, biologics, plasma fractions and reagents. They are configured around the intended use, the container and the documentation the project requires, rather than sold as a one-size machine.
Who this is for
Where it is used
- Formulation development — defining the freezing and drying curve for a new biologic.
- Diagnostics and reagents — drying heat-sensitive materials to a stable powder.
- Plasma and biological samples — laboratory-scale preservation with documented cycles.
- Scale-up trials — carrying a bench recipe toward a production-sized dryer.
Model range and published parameters
The biomedical family spans HDF-FD01 to HDF-FD40. Reference values below are published for the silicone-oil heating configuration; the final unit is confirmed against the container, batch scale and documentation the project requires.
| Model | Drying area | Footprint L×W×H | Power | Shelf | Cold trap | Vacuum | Load | Ice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HDF-FD01 | 1 m² | 1600×1100×1800 mm | 9 kW | 4+1 | -60 °C | ≤5 Pa | 10 kg | 20 kg |
| HDF-FD02 | 2 m² | 2800×1000×2500 mm | 13 kW | 5+1 | -60 °C | ≤5 Pa | 20 kg | 40 kg |
| HDF-FD03 | 3 m² | 3200×1000×2500 mm | 17 kW | 6+1 | -60 °C | ≤5 Pa | 30 kg | 60 kg |
| HDF-FD05 | 5 m² | 3500×1500×2500 mm | 19 kW | 5+1 | -60 °C | ≤5 Pa | 50 kg | 100 kg |
| HDF-FD10 | 10 m² | 4500×1600×2500 mm | 36 kW | 8+1 | -60 °C | ≤5 Pa | 100 kg | 200 kg |
| HDF-FD20 | 20 m² | 5800×1800×2800 mm | 65 kW | 12+1 | -60 °C | ≤5 Pa | 200 kg | 400 kg |
| HDF-FD30 | 30 m² | 7800×2200×2800 mm | 120 kW | 11+1 | -60 °C | ≤5 Pa | 300 kg | 600 kg |
| HDF-FD40 | 40 m² | 9800×2200×2800 mm | 180 kW | 15+1 | -60 °C | ≤5 Pa | 400 kg | 800 kg |
Shelf temperature range is -45 to +70 °C across the family; heating is silicone-oil, cooling is air or water/air by scale. Published reference values from the HADOF biomedical catalog.
How to choose a configuration
Research tier
For formulation and cycle development. A flexible control range and editable drying curve matter more than batch size.
Development tier
For a defined container and fill volume with batch records and reproducibility as the priority.
Customization scope
Shelf temperature range, condenser capacity, vacuum depth, stoppering or capping options, cleaning and sterilization features, and data-recording depth are configured per order. Intended use and regulatory market are confirmed up front because they determine documentation, not just hardware.
Quality control
After-sales and documentation
Documentation scope — installation, operation, qualification support where applicable — is defined in the quotation. Remote support and spare-part guidance are available after delivery.
How pricing works
Price follows the configuration: scale, shelf and condenser duty, controls, cleaning or sterilization options, and the documentation package. A research-tier system costs less than a development-tier system with full records. Share the intended use and container and we quote the matching tier.
Frequently asked questions
Which model fits my material?
It depends on the container, batch size, target residual moisture and controls. Share your formulation and fill volume and we map it to a model.
Can you support qualification?
Documentation support is confirmed per project and market. Tell us the regulatory market and deliverables you need.
Do I need a stoppering option?
Only if you close vials inside the chamber under vacuum or controlled atmosphere; we confirm it against your closure system.
