M8) Custom drying programs: The system MUST provide operators with the ability to develop multiple drying programs optimized for different types of samples. M9) Electrical requirements: The freeze dryer MUST be supplied with a standard North American 3-pin plug capable of operating at approximately 120 V and 60 Hz. M10) Scroll vacuum pump: The freeze dryer MUST be supplied with a compatible oil-free scroll vacuum pump with a standard North American 3-pin plug capable of operating at approximately 120 V and 60 Hz.
