INTRODUCTION

SCOPE OF THE MANUAL
The ModulyoD is the ice condenser section of a freeze drying system. It is designed
specifically for freeze drying biological samples and pharmaceutical preparations in a
laboratory environment. The ModulyoD, when used in conjunction with a vacuum source
and manifold or other sample container, forms a complete freeze drying system. The
ModulyoD may also be suitable for use as a low temperature (-50 °C.) vapor trap.
Please refer to Appendix A for specific limitations regarding the use of the ModulyoD as
a vapor trap.
The ModulyoD is used with a variety of optional accessories to freeze materials in bulk
trays, flasks, tubes, vials or ampules. These optional accessories are described in
Section 6.0 and depicted in Appendix B. The ModulyoD may also be used as a low tem-
perature vapor trap (cold trap) for a variety of devices. These include vacuum concen-
trators, rotary evaporators and vacuum ovens.
The ModulyoD itself is made of three basic parts, the condenser chamber, a refrigera-
tion system and the user interface. The refrigerant used in the ModulyoD is CFC free.
All ModulyoD components are housed in a steel cabinet that is designed for bench-top
use. The major components of the ModulyoD are described in the following sections.
(Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 on page 4 for the location of each component.)
