BenchTop <strong>Pro</strong> with Omnitronics<br />
The VirTis BenchTop <strong>Pro</strong> freeze dryers have<br />
been designed to meet the needs of the most<br />
demanding research laboratories. Each<br />
system can be configured to accommodate<br />
present and future requirements. Condenser<br />
refrigeration packages of -55°C, -75°C,<br />
-85°C and -105°C can meet the demands<br />
of both aqueous or aqueous-solvent based<br />
formulations.<br />
You can configure your system<br />
to run just a few samples or<br />
to process a relatively heavy<br />
load with condenser size<br />
choices of 3 liter, 8 liter or<br />
9 liter. Selecting a size and<br />
temperature configuration<br />
allows you to maximize the use<br />
of the freeze dryer in your lab<br />
while not paying needlessly<br />
for unnecessary capacity or<br />
refrigeration.<br />
Each system can be<br />
configured to meet<br />
the needs of the most<br />
demanding research<br />
laboratories.<br />
02
Manifolds<br />
Manifolds are available in a variety<br />
of styles and are designed to be<br />
interchangeable. There are a number of<br />
considerations when selecting a manifold.<br />
In a multi-user lab it is often best to utilize<br />
a robust stainless steel manifold. In<br />
applications where inorganic solvents are<br />
being utilized or you are rack drying and<br />
want to ensure visibility an acrylic manifold<br />
would be preferred. In applications<br />
with organic solvents the stainless steel<br />
manifolds will provide long lasting use.<br />
03
Omnitronics Controller<br />
The Omnitronics Controller simplifies freeze drying<br />
and makes the system easy to operate. One touch<br />
start up and shut down ensure that your product<br />
and freeze dryer are protected from inappropriate<br />
procedures. The graphic display provides at-aglance<br />
understanding of the status of the freeze<br />
dryer and whether or not appropriate freeze drying<br />
conditions exist. Audible alarms help notify the<br />
user of potential problems with the system and<br />
hence, with the product. All Omnitronics controllers<br />
come complete with a trending screen that allows<br />
you to watch critical parameters on an on-going<br />
basis if required. Utilizing the optional Ethernet<br />
control, you can connect the freeze dryer to your<br />
company’s or institution’s network, and monitor<br />
and/or control your freeze dryer from any other<br />
location on the network. The Ethernet option<br />
also allows print out in a batch record, alphanumeric,<br />
type report.<br />
One touch start up and shut<br />
down ensure that your product<br />
and freeze dryer are protected<br />
from inappropriate procedures.<br />
04
Don’t waste time with<br />
slow & messy defrosting<br />
The hot gas defrost in the BenchTop <strong>Pro</strong><br />
allows for fast turnaround time and helps<br />
minimize clean up efforts when having<br />
to pour warm water into a condenser. In<br />
addition, corrosive solvents which are more<br />
active at ambient and higher temperatures<br />
will spend a minimum amount of dwell time<br />
in the condenser with fast hot gas defrost—<br />
no need to wait overnight to drain the<br />
system.<br />
05

Selection Guide<br />
There are two main criteria for selecting the benchtop freeze dryer that is right for<br />
you. The first is determining what condenser capacity you need in between defrost<br />
cycles. The second is to determine what solvents you may be using in your process.<br />
When utilizing water as the only solvent the highest condenser temperature offered is<br />
appropriate. In cases where organic or inorganic solvents are being utilized as part<br />
of the solvent matrix the lowest temperature condenser is always preferred.<br />
Load Capacity<br />
Solvents 3 Liter 8 Liter 9 Liter<br />
Water ES (-55°C) XL (-75°C) ES (-55°C)<br />
Water and inorganic solvents XL (-75°C) ZL (-105°C) EL (-85°C)<br />
Water & organic solvents XL (-75°C) ZL (-105°C) EL (-85°C)<br />
Manifold Material Choice<br />
Acrylic or stainless steel. Multiple user labs may<br />
have better experience with stainless steel.<br />
Maximize use of acrylic and minimize use of<br />
stainless steel.<br />
Maximize use of stainless steel and minimize<br />
use of acrylic if possible.<br />
Vacuum Pump<br />
Considerations<br />
Standard oil sealed, rotary vane direct<br />
drive pump. When working in low<br />
pressure conditions consider a dry scroll<br />
pump if oil backstreaming is a concern.<br />
Standard pump with corrosion resistant<br />
oil or combination standard pump with<br />
diaphragm pump.<br />

BenchTop <strong>Pro</strong> with<br />
Omnitronics<br />
8L Freeze Dryer<br />
The BenchTop <strong>Pro</strong> with Omnitronics<br />
8 liter is designed for heavier loads<br />
and for use with solvents other than<br />
water. It is available with a -75°C<br />
or -105°C condenser. The -105°C<br />
option is preferred for applications<br />
involving low freezing point solvents<br />
such as TFA, acetronitrile and<br />
alcohols. Even if the freezing point<br />
of your solvent is below -105°C this<br />
temperature condenser is more likely<br />
to liquefy the solvent and thus prevent<br />
it from migrating easily to the vacuum<br />
pump.<br />
• Offered in low and ultra-low condenser<br />
configuration -75°C (-72°C for 50Hz)<br />
or -105°C (-102°C for 50Hz)<br />
• CFC free refrigerants<br />
• Condenser capacity total of 8 liters<br />
• Approximate 24 hour rating of 3<br />

Wide Mouth Filter Seal Flasks<br />
These borosilicate flasks are specially designed for manifold freeze drying. The flat<br />
bottom makes it easy to stabilize the flask in its upright position for “plug” or static<br />
freezing. The wide mouth of the flask makes it easier to place product in the flask and<br />
perhaps even more importantly, remove product from the flask. The snap on silicone top<br />
ensures a good vacuum seal and comes complete with a filter to eliminate the possibility<br />
of cross contamination when several flasks are on the same dryer. All components can<br />
be autoclaved. The flask itself is available in regular and in safety coated configurations.<br />
Must be used with manifold adaptors.<br />
