The application scenarios of freeze dryers are very wide, covering scientific research, medical treatment, food, chemical industry and other fields. The following are the main applications of freeze dryers in different fields:
Scientific research field:
Biological experiments: The freeze dryer can freeze and dehydrate cells or tissues to keep them stable for a long time without corruption or denaturation. This is essential for cell and tissue samples that need to be stored for a long time.
Chemical experiments: In the preparation of organic compounds, the freeze dryer can freeze and dehydrate the reaction solution to obtain pure organic compounds. In addition, it can also be used to control chemical reactions, and achieve precise control of chemical reactions by controlling the concentration and temperature of the reaction solution.
Medical experiments: In the process of drug research and development, the freeze dryer can freeze and dehydrate the drug solution to obtain a stable drug powder. This is very important for drugs that need to be stored for a long time. At the same time, freeze drying technology is also used in the preparation of biomaterials, such as artificial joints, skin, etc.
Medical field:
Biological product preparation: Vacuum freeze drying technology can remove water from biological products at low temperatures while maintaining their biological activity. Freeze-dried biological products have good stability and are easy to transport and store.
Processing of Chinese herbal medicines: Many Chinese herbal medicines contain volatile and heat-sensitive components, and traditional drying methods are prone to component loss. Vacuum freeze-drying technology can retain these components at low temperatures.
Production of pharmaceutical preparations: Freeze-drying technology can remove moisture from pharmaceuticals and improve their stability. For some special pharmaceutical preparations, such as freeze-dried powder injections for injection, freeze-drying technology is one of the important production processes.
Food industry:
Fruit and vegetable products: Freeze-drying technology can retain the original color, shape, nutrients and flavor of fruits and vegetables. For example, freeze-dried strawberries, blueberries and other fruits can be used as snacks and are easy to carry and store.
Meat products: Freeze-drying technology retains the nutrients such as protein and the delicious taste of meat products, and can be used to make ready-to-eat meat snacks.
Aquatic products: Freeze-dried seafood such as shrimp and fish retains the freshness and nutrition of seafood, solving the problem of seafood being difficult to store and transport.
Other fields:
Chemical analysis and drug development: Freeze dryers are used to preserve samples of chemical reagents and drugs, especially to avoid drug degradation while reducing damage to the chemical components in the drug. Environmental samples and gas analysis: Freeze drying technology is used to preserve environmental samples to ensure the long-term stability and analyzability of samples.
