Low sample volume
The MSD mimics manufacturing stresses in just 5 mL sample volume..
Micro Scale-Down (MSD)
The Micro Scale-Down (MSD) is a precise rate-freezer and rate-thawer that replicates the stresses of large-scale bio-manufacturing.
This is a small-volume physical model designed to assist freeze-thaw formulation and process design.
Featured in the following papers:
Our MSD is designed to be compatible with most containers on the market, such as:
