Product Shelves
The LyoStar™ 3 lyophilizer is offered with up to four usable shelves and one radiant
heat shelf. The radiant heat shelf is mounted above the top product shelf to provide
uniform heating to product located on the uppermost useable product shelf. All
shelves are manufactured from grade 316L stainless steel.
Shelf Stack and Latching
The product shelf assembly is designed with a moveable shelf stack, which when
utilized may facilitate the stoppering of product vials. The moveable shelf stack may
also be modified to increase the distance between shelves using the provided shelf-
latching kits. This flexibility is beneficial when processing in large vials. The use of a
shelf-latching kit, however, will reduce the total number of usable shelves in your
product chamber.
Note: For additional information, refer to Chapter 8: Shelf-Latching.
Stoppering
The stoppering system provides bottom-up shelf collapse allowing you to fully seat
partially inserted stoppers into product vials at the end of a freeze dry cycle.

Note: For additional information, refer to Chapter 7: Stoppering.
Product Trays
LyoStar™ 3 lyophilizers are supplied with removable bottom stainless steel trays, one
for each usable product shelf. These trays allow for greater heat transfer from the
shelf to the vial sample. After loading trays filled with vials into the product chamber,
remove the bottom to allow for better heat transfer to the vials. Before unloading the
trays, replace the tray bottoms and remove the tray with the vials.
Note: Product trays for bulk processing are also available from SP Scientific. Do not use
removable bottom trays when bulk drying.

Siliconized rubber stoppers are recommended. Standard rubber stoppers used in dry vials may increase the required
pressure.
