Temperature Controller and Isolation Valve

Isolation Valve
The Isolation Valve is a high quality, multi-
purpose device that is used in conjunction
with a variety of freeze drying accessories.
The basic function of the manually operated
valve is to isolate the drying accessory, and
sample, from the ice condenser and pump.
With the Isolation Valve closed, the con-
denser chamber can be evacuated while
samples are loaded on the drying accessory.
When opened, system vacuum levels fall-
more quickly. Isolating the drying accessory
in this manner will allow the user to apply
an external vacuum gauge and measure the
vapor pressure in the drying accessory. This
information is useful in determining the
dryness of the sample. The same accessory

optional heater mats used in the drying tray
kit. Adding heat energy enhances the drying
rate of material in the product trays. The con-
troller regulates heat input by monitoring the
temperature of the mat. Mat temperatures
may be adjusted from 0 ˚C to 45 ˚C, to a
point that will add heat energy to, but not
melt the samples.
