Instruction manual for CoolSafe The Freeze-drying process To understand the freeze-drying process, this section describes the theory for the process in short. For more detailed information about freeze-drying please consult available literature. All material in free form will exist in one of three states: Vapour, liquid or solid. As shown in the diagram for water, the physical state is dependent on the surrounding pressure and the temperature. -
Page 18: Technical Specifications
Instruction manual for CoolSafe In the third step, water that is strongly bound to the solids of the sample (called sobbed water) is converted to vapour and removed from the product, this process being referred to as de-sorption. Removing moisture in the de-sorption phase or secondary drying phase, is done at a higher product temperature and at the lowest possible pressure Technical Specifications CoolSafe -55 °C... -
