Freeze drying has significantly enhanced the field of entomology, the scientific study of insects. This preservation technique has revolutionized the way entomologists collect, store, and study insect specimens, leading to several notable advancements in the field which are listed below. Using the CryoDry® CD8 freeze Dryer, this process involves first humanely killing the insect then […]
Freeze drying technology has been widely used in various industries for decades, from the preservation of food and pharmaceuticals to the conservation of historical artifacts. However, there are also some unusual applications of freeze drying that you might not be aware of. In this article, we will explore some of these unique and unexpected uses […]
Freeze drying is a preservation method that removes water from food, allowing it to last for months or even years without refrigeration. This makes it an ideal method for preserving food at home or in hospitality, as it allows you to stock up on food when it is in season and enjoy or use it […]
Hysteresis is a common phenomenon that occurs in vacuum control systems, particularly in those that involve temperature and pressure regulation. In this blog post, we will explore what hysteresis is, how it affects vacuum control, and how CryoDry has incorporated hysteresis control to improve speed and control accuracy in their CryoDry CD8 benchtop freeze dryer. […]
Every year, an astonishing one-third of all food produced for human consumption goes to waste, exacerbating hunger and environmental challenges worldwide. However, in the face of this crisis, innovative technologies such as freeze dryers are emerging as game-changers. In this blog post, we will delve into the gravity of global food waste, backed by compelling […]
Freeze drying is a popular method for preserving the freshness of foods. It is a technique that involves removing water from food products by subjecting them to low pressure and temperature. Freeze-dried foods have a longer shelf life than other preservation methods, and they retain their nutritional value, flavor, and texture. In this article, we […]
