Vial Cell Stoppering Shelf

With the Vial Cell Stoppering Shelf, vials can be processed and stoppered while under vacuum. The Vial Cell comprises four movable shelves inside a gasketed acrylic vacuum chamber, with a stoppering handle on top. Each shelf accommodates two trays with up to 62 vials per tray. Eight stainless steel bottle retaining trays are included, which may also be used for bulk product drying. For faster drying, each shelf comes equipped with a built-in heater mat, for use with the optional Heater Kit. An integral electrical lead-through is also supplied with the Vial Cell to connect the Heater Kit. When coupled with the Isolation Valve accessory, the chamber may be back-filled with an inert gas such as nitrogen prior to stoppering the vials. The Vial Cell may be used with the MicroModulyo, ModulyoD or SuperModulyo base units.

Heater Kit for Stoppering Shelf

The Heater Kit is a free-standing power pack that delivers a constant low voltage output to the built-in heater mats used in the stoppering shelf. This added heat energy enhances the drying rate of material in vials. The included power supply lead attaches to the electrical lead-through in the Vial Cell stoppering shelf.

The Heater Kit is used exclusively with the Vial Cell Stoppering Shelf.

Vials, Stoppers, Caps & Crimpers

Thermo offers a selection of vials specifically designed for freeze drying. The vials are suitable for use with the Vial Cell Stoppering Shelf. Rubber lyophilization stoppers, aluminum sealing caps, and hand crimpers are also available.
