Where a pilot freeze dryer is used in Thailand
Based on the specifications above, the Ultra Prime 50 suits laboratories that
- Need to run small-batch production of lyophilised material in a single product chamber, holding uniform quality across every shelf in the load.
- Work with diagnostic kit manufacturing, where cycles have to repeat identically and shelf temperature has to hold within ± 0.5 °C across a -55 to 65 °C range.
- Want to dry sensitive biological material such as banked tissue, with condenser temperatures reaching -85 °C and shelf temperatures down to -70 °C at 60 Hz.
- Need to fit production-scale drying into a lab or cleanroom with limited floor space, using a free-standing mobile unit that can be configured for bulk or stoppering layouts.

Frequently asked questions
How many vials can the Ultra Prime 50 handle in one run?
Capacity depends on how you configure the shelves: 8 shelves with 99.2 mm clearance take vials up to 30R, while 15 shelves at 47.0 mm clearance suit 2R vials, with an estimated 519 2R vials per 10 × 20 in tray. Our team can work through the right shelf count and tray layout for your batch sizes.
Why buy SP VirTis Ultra Prime 50 from Thai Unique rather than direct from the manufacturer?
Because the people who look after it are here. Installation, calibration, scheduled maintenance, repairs with genuine parts and operator training are all handled by our team in Thailand, without routing every request overseas.
Can we test our own samples before deciding?
Yes. Our sample testing and method verification service runs your real samples so you can see the results this pilot freeze dryer gives on your workload before you buy.
How much does it cost, and how do we request a quotation?
Pricing depends on the configuration, accessories and the scope of work in your laboratory. Tell our sales team what you need to analyse and how many samples you run per day, and we will propose a configuration together with lead time and service terms.
