FreeZone 18L -50C Freeze Dryer with Stoppering Tray Dryer_Lyophilizer for large sample lyophilizing

FreeZone 18 Liter -50C Console Freeze Dryers with Stoppering Tray Dryers

FreeZone 18 Liter Console Freeze Dryers with Stoppering Tray Dryers are designed for lyophilizing moderate to large loads and stoppering vials or serum bottles under vacuum. The console features a front viewing window and interior space for a vacuum pump (sold separately).

The console's upright stainless steel collector coil is capable of holding 18 liters of ice before defrosting. A single 1-1/2 hp HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration system cools the collector to -50° C (-58° F), suitable for aqueous samples.

The Stoppering Tray Dryer features three 16.5" x 12" processing shelves. A single 1 hp HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration system and 1000-watt electric heater cool and heat the fluid medium circulating through channels in the shelves.

Lyo-Works™ OS provides a real time display of freeze dryer and tray dryer parameters on a 5" full color, capacitive touchscreen. Models with PTFE-coated collectors that can withstand corrosive compounds are available.

Vacuum pump and freeze dry glassware (if not bulk freeze drying) are required (not included).
