A vacuum is applied to allow ice to sublimate directly into vapor, which is collected by the cold trap. Precise shelf temperature control regulates heat during sublimation, while secondary drying removes residual moisture to achieve the desired final level. The SY-30F supports program-based operation with recorded cycle curves, enabling segment fine-tuning and consistent repeatability across multiple runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMedium R\u0026amp;D Freeze Dryer – QualiRFD™ 8 Technical Specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQualiRFD™ 8\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreeze drying area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.4 m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCold trap temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt; -75 °C (no-load)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVacuum level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≤ 1 Pa (no-load)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShelf temperature range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-55 to +70 °C (no-load)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum ice capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≥ 8 kg\/24 h\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of shelf layers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 + 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial tray size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e340 × 300 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShelf spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (W×D×H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e825 × 928 × 1366 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoadable materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 L\/kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDefrost mode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural defrost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafety devices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudible alarm, emergency stop switch, overpressure protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle-phase 3-wire, 220 V (110V is also available)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Qualitest USA LC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51846872269111,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/files\/medium-rd-freeze-dryer209763659.webp?v=1775039885","url":"https:\/\/qualitest.us\/fr\/products\/medium-r-d-freeze-dryer","provider":"Qualitest USA LC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
