Quik-Dry™ Flasks
When a product is frozen in a thin layer on the inner wall surface of a large-diameter flask using a shell freezer, the overall sublimation rate significantly increases as compared to the product frozen as a plug in the bottom of a similar flask. Quik-Dry flasks feature a special shape to achieve a thin layer of product when shell-freezing a horizontally placed flask.

Stoppering-Tainer™
Stoppering-Tainer lets you conveniently freeze-dry and stopper multiple samples under original process vacuum for use as reference samples or for storage without flame sealing. Simply attach Stoppering-Tainer to the manifold system.

 
Multi-Tainers™
Rugged, stainless steel Multi-Tainers are used for freeze-drying bulky materials or products which have already been frozen in Petri dishes, serum vials, or similar containers.

Acid Filters
Acid filters protect vacuum pumps when freeze drying acidic or organic solvents. Models are available for manifold freeze-dryers with a vapor stream or in-line design. Replacement cartridges are also available.

Ampules
Ampules are useful for long-term storage of numerous small samples. They are heat-sealed by evenly applying a hot flame from an oxygen-gas torch to the circumference of the ampule neck. As the glass melts, the ampule section is pulled away to leave both ends sealed. FTS Systems brand ampules are fabricated from borosilicate glass.

 
Gas Sealing-Off Torch
The gas sealing-off torch is equipped with a modified double tip to seal off ampules with neck diameters up to 14 mm. Its small size, light weight (2 oz.), and easily controlled metering valves help prevent fatigue when large numbers of samples need to be sealed under a process vacuum.
