Labconco FreeZone Console Freeze Dryer with Stoppering Tray Dryer, 6 L, 230 V
This Freeze Dryer is designed for lyophilizing moderate to large sample loads and stoppering vials or serum bottles under vacuum. The newly integrated Lyo-Works OS provides a real-time display of information such as the collector temperature, the vacuum level, and the end-point detection system (optional), shown on a 5" full-color, capacitive touch screen.
Product Dimensions: W 32" × D 30" × H 64"
- Console:
- 3/4 hp HCFC / CFC-free refrigeration system to cool collector to -58 °F / -50 °C
- Brushed stainless steel and glacier white, epoxy-coated steel exterior with blue accents
- Upright stainless steel collector coil and chamber
- LCD that displays system operating parameters, set-up parameters and alarm messages
- Red alarm light that flashes and beeper that sounds to indicate that an abnormal system event has occurred, including: power failure, improper line voltage supply, collector temperature rise above -40 °C, service vacuum pump (after 1000 hours of vacuum use), and moisture in collector
- Moisture sensor that prevents refrigeration or vacuum start-up when moisture is detected in the collector chamber area
- Vacuum break valve that bleeds air into the system when power to the freeze dryer or vacuum pump is shut off
- LED vacuum and temperature "waves" for at-a-glance display of relative system vacuum and collector temperature
- Vacuum control valve that maintains setpoint vacuum level
- Rear-mounted RS-232 port to transmit data to a user-supplied computer. Transmission intervals may be user-configured for 10, 30, 60, 300, or 600 seconds
- Automatic start-up switch for collector cool-down and vacuum pull-down with manual override switches
