Reference deployments

A few of the production environments where SJ Scientific GMP freeze dryers run today. Customer names withheld where required by NDA.

Vaccine bulk lyophilization

A WHO-prequalified vaccine manufacturer in Southeast Asia operates a Command 500F system on an influenza vaccine bulk line.

Monoclonal antibody pilot

A top-20 Asian biotech runs cycle development on a Creator pilot system before scaling to a Command 200F production line.

Peptide sterile API

A specialty peptide CDMO uses a Command 100F(T) for small-batch sterile API lyophilization with full IQ/OQ/PQ documentation.

Service & Support

FAT in our factory

Witness shelf uniformity, vacuum tightness, control system tests, and validation document review before shipment.

SAT and on-site commissioning

Local engineer dispatch in 30+ countries; remote diagnostics standard on every system.

Operator and validation training

Two-tier training: HMI + recipe operations for production teams, plus protocol walkthrough for QA / Validation.

Spare parts & lifecycle

<72h response SLA; 10-year spare parts commitment for pharma systems.

Hong Kong On-the-Ground

For HK-based pharmaceutical and CDMO buyers — local invoicing, founder access, fast service.

Founder-level access for GMP buyers

For pharmaceutical capital purchases, our founder is regularly in Hong Kong and available for in-person validation strategy and contract discussions.

HKD invoicing · HK procurement compatible

HKD quote and invoice options. Documentation aligned with HK Department of Health and Hospital Authority procurement processes.

48-hour engineer dispatch in HK

In-region service across Hong Kong. Critical for GMP production where downtime = batch loss. No cross-border customs delay.

Bilingual validation packages

IQ/OQ/PQ documentation in English and 繁體中文 as standard. Audit-trail exports compatible with HK regulatory inspections.

Frequently asked by procurement and QA

Do you provide GAMP 5 documentation?

Yes. URS, FS, DS, traceability matrix, and risk assessment templates are part of our pharmaceutical documentation package.

What's the typical lead time for a Command 500F system?

14–18 weeks ex-works depending on the validation scope and customization. FAT and shipping add 2–4 weeks.

Can you support EU GMP Annex 1 (2022) requirements?

Yes. We support contamination control strategies, isolator-compatible loading, and qualification approaches aligned with the 2022 revision.

How does your audit trail meet 21 CFR Part 11?

Every action that affects records is logged with user, timestamp, before/after value, and reason code. The trail is read-only and survives system restarts.

Do you support remote diagnostics?

Yes, via VPN or customer-controlled jumpbox. We do not require an outbound internet connection from the GMP network.

What sterilization options are available?

CIP and SIP options are available for the chamber and condenser on Command series. The cleanroom interface and dryers can be specified for VHP-compatible operation.

Pharmaceutical Freeze Dryer Systems

Pharmaceutical freeze dryers are selected for more than cold performance alone. Buyers usually compare process stability, validation readiness, chamber configuration, and the supplier's ability to support scale-up from development to production.

What matters in pharmaceutical freeze drying

  • Stable shelf temperature control for repeatable recipes
  • Vacuum performance that supports consistent primary and secondary drying
  • Chamber and shelf configurations suitable for vial and bulk applications
  • Documentation and automation options that fit GMP environments

Typical applications

  • Sterile injectable products
  • Biotech intermediates
  • Peptides and proteins
  • Temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical formulations
