The LyoDry Midi Freeze Dryer is a low cost, laboratory freeze dryer offering more freeze drying capacity on an economical scale. Ideal, if you are scaling up your benchtop freeze drying process on a limited budget.
A modular freeze dryer, it is designed to work with a wide variety of drying chambers and sits compactly beside a standard laboratory bench, with its own integral vacuum pump.
​
LyoDry Midi is suitable for a wide range of freeze drying duties including pharma, food and beverage, botanical, geological and archaeological conservation applications.
LyoDry Midi was originally designed to directly replace the Edwards EF12K Supermodulyo® freeze dryer, thereby providing end user familiarity and accessory compatibility, and today incorporates the latest freeze drying technologies.

With a larger ice condenser capacity of 18Kg, the LyoDry Midi provides larger batch freeze drying on a smaller budget. A modular freeze dryer, available with a wide choice of drying chambers, from a standard acrylic chamber up to a 10-shelf SS chamber for increased capacity, the LyoDry Midi presents an economical option for pilot/small scale production on a tight budget. LyoDry Midi can also be used as a condenser or solvent trap.
For more closely controlled freeze drying, including data logging, trends, pressure control and touch screen, see instead the LyoDry Midi Pro which has added functions including USB and ethernet comms for an enhanced freeze drying process.
​
LyoDry Midi customers include universities, government R&D, blue chip pharmaceutical, research institutes and archaeological conservators, both in the UK and overseas.
