Genesis Features and Options

















































The Genesis is unparalleled for capabilities and price. It features a wide range of control options from manual controls to the latest in cGMP data monitoring and automation applications. It is the ultimate pilot scale freeze dryer because it allows for easy scale-up from research to full scale production. The controls and features are identical to those used in our performance matched industrial lyophilizers.

 • The chamber product , shelves and condenser chamber are made of durable, long-lasting 316L stainless steel, for many years of trouble-free performance.

 • Standard four-inch diameter vapor port increases vapor flow from the product to the condenser chamber, for maximum vapor through-put. (6in. and 8in. diameter available.)

 • An expanded range of shelf arrangements with shelf latching kits lets you configure the Genesis to your exact processing requirements.

 • Reliable refrigeration systems with proven standard CFC-free refrigerants offer a wide range of temperatures for all types of applications.

 • Optional controls with Pirani or capacitance manometer vacuum gauges; functions such as barometric endpoint and moisture analysis; additional product probes and security systems provide more precise control of the freeze-drying process.

 • Our advanced control systems, Encore and Maestro, allows the freeze drying process to be fully automated. Designed for 21 CFR Part 11.

 • Optional computer workstations are available for all manual and automated control systems.

 • Over 100 flexible configurations are available to meet the needs of any processing requirements.

 • Compact, freestanding, mobile design.

 • Two condenser options: 25 and 35 liter capacity systems.

 • Shelf pull-down to -40°C in 30 minutes or less, with efficient, utility saving compressors.

 • Up to six shelves for bulk drying, and five shelves for vial processing.

 • Square product chamber, for ease of cleaning and maximum shelf area.

 • Detachable isolator system for moisture- and oxygen-sensitive products.

 • I.Q. and O.Q. validation workbooks and full validation support are available worldwide.

 • Optional Sample Thief to facilitate product analysis.

 • Easy installation clean room design packages.

 • Optional stainless steel product and condenser chamber doors with viewport for use with corrosive material.

 • Side-mount manifold kit with 12 port manifold can be configured for processing bulk material in flasks.

 • Row stoppering available.











An Optional 8 in. Diameter Port Helps Simulate Production Size Machines

Get enhanced performance from your Genesis with our 8 inch diameter vapor port! Layout in a narrow configuration, this is useful for very low eutectic point products that require low chamber pressures to be maintained during sublimation.



You also benefit from:

 • Multiple condensers sizes that allow easy product load matching.

 • A narrow footprint for easy installation.

 • Standard utilities.

 • All the features of the standard Genesis.

Optional sample thief allows multiple sample extraction in process for moisture analysis of products at different phases of the freeze-drying cycle.

Control Options

Wizard 2.0

The powerful and easy to use Wizard 2.0, allows for precise control of all phases of the freeze drying cycle. Capable of 12 controlled steps/ramp during freezing for sample thermal treatment , 16 steps/ramp during primary drying and a secondary drying step/ramp, the Wizard 2.0 can store up to 16 recipies in the powerful microprocessor memory. The full numeric keypad with large easy-to-read synoptic screen, allows instant communication with the system. An optional computer workstation captures graphs/data and manages recipies. In a unit equiped with an isolation valve, Wizard 2.0 allows a P-Rise test to periodically check progress at any point in the drying run.

Encore

A PLC based control system designed for the pilot and small production lyophilizer such as Genesis. Encore has an Allen Bradely Micro PLC utilizing 32 bit technology. Encore allows for an extensive library of conditional and emergency alarms to protect the drying product. There are thermal treatment (pre-freeze) ramp and soak capabilities with 16 step ramp or hold control routines in primary drying. It has unique add-on options and validatable software. .



Maestro




The ultimate in advanced control systems for precise control, validation and support. The Maestro control system features an Allen Bradley PLC coupled with Intellution software in a Windows environment. It comes with a bank of 8 product probes, a function test and leak rate tests. Available with multi-level password security, remote view, pressure rise testing, moisture sensors, eutectic point monitors, batch reports, Capacitance-Pirani differentials, UPS, additional product probes, and Control System Qualification Package. (CSQP) Designed for 21CFRPart11.
