FreeZone Triad Benchtop Freeze Dryer on FreeZone Cart with Scroll Pump with Model

FreeZone Triad -84 C, -121 F Freeze Dryers

FreeZone Triad Benchtop Freeze Dryers are designed for multiple types of lyophilization: flask, bulk and stoppering vials. With the ability to freeze dry samples in so many different forms, the Triad's versatility and compact design make it perfect for busy labs.

The upright stainless steel collector coil holds 2.5 liters of ice before defrosting. Two 1/3 hp HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration compressors cool the collector to -84° C (-121° F), suitable for aqueous or dilute acetonitrile samples. Temperature-controlled shelves range from -55° C to +50° C (-67° F to +122° F) and a maximum of -75° C (-103° F) during pre-freezing. The shelves provide pneumatic stoppering with a diaphragm, eliminating the need for compressed gas.

Lyo-Works™ OS provides a real time display of collector temperature and vacuum level, shown on a 5" full color, capacitive touchscreen. A stoppering tray dryer and four valve ports are built-in.

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

Labconco's FreeZone Triad Freeze Dryer

This video demonstrates how the FreeZone Triad Benchtop Freeze Dryer is designed to lyophilize the widest variety of sample types: from bulk items, vials and microplates on heated shelves to large samples in flasks.

Gail's Story Changed the Way We Think About Lab Freeze Drying

When she visited Kelly at Labconco, Gail's struggle led to an epiphany that would change how laboratory freeze drying is done. With the creation of Lyo-Works OS, samples can now be monitored from anywhere. And with End-Zone™ End Point Detection, now FreeZone Freeze Dryers can even send you an alert when your samples are completely lyophilized.

End-Zone End Point Detection System-Set Up

Know as soon as your samples reach dryness. Set up your End-Zone™ End Point Detection System to alert you when the primary drying phase is complete for up to 5 samples in 600ml or larger flasks. This video shows how to install and operate the system.
