With the introduction of the Minifast range of lyophilisers, IMA LIFE Freeze drying solutions has established the connecting factor between a typical bench-top freeze dryer used in laboratories and the industrial Lyofast or Lyomax range of freeze dryers. The Minifast provides the customer with the direct ‘line of sight' required by the FDA between the pilot type freeze dryer that is suitable for scale-up and the larger full production freeze dryers.
