HOW TO CALCULATE THE SIZE OF THE FREEZE DRYER
When the size of the freeze dryer is to be determined several questions have to be addressed, for example:
? What condenser size (volume) is required?
? What condenser temperature is required?
? What is the maximum number of samples to be freeze dried at one time?
? What is the total volume of the samples?
? What is the size of the container/tray you want to use for the samples?
? What is the sample volume in each tube/vial?
