The FreeZone 4.5 Liter Benchtop Freeze Dryer is a compact, high-performance system designed for lyophilizing light to moderate sample loads in laboratories with limited bench space. Featuring a PTFE-coated stainless steel collector coil, it offers resistance to corrosive compounds and supports samples with low eutectic points down to -84°C. Equipped with Lyo-Works OS on a 5" color touchscreen, the system provides real-time monitoring, data logging, programmable alerts, and secure control, making it ideal for routine or advanced freeze-drying applications.
