The SP VirTis AdVantage Pro gives you the advantages of a tray dryer in a benchtop unit. What separates it from a manifold freeze dryer is genuinely temperature-controlled shelves, from -55 to 60 °C, so formulation and lyophilization cycle development can be done on one instrument and then scaled up.

Shelf configuration
| Shelves | Shelf area | Shelf clearance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 shelf | 143 in² (922 cm²) | 6.2 in (158 mm) |
| 2 shelves | 286 in² (1,844 cm²) | 2.9 in (73 mm) |
| 3 shelves | 429 in² (2,766 cm²) | 1.75 in (44.5 mm) |
The optional shelf latching kit increases clearance by latching shelves together — for example 2-to-1 latching on a two-shelf unit gives 6.2 in (142.2 mm).
