The Labconco FreeZone 6 Liter Console Freeze Dryer with Stoppering Tray Dryer and PTFE-coated coil and collector is designed for lyophilizing moderate to large sample loads and stoppering vials or serum bottles under vacuum. The console includes a front viewing window and interior space for a vacuum pump (sold separately).
Product Features
- Upright stainless steel collector coil capable of holding 6L of ice before defrosting. Stainless steel collector lid, 3/4" thick, has neoprene gasket.
- Console cabinet with interior space for vacuum pump (sold separately) and two-piece, removable front panel with viewing window.
- Clear acrylic chamber lid, 3/4" thick, with neoprene gasket.
- FreeZone Stoppering Tray Dryer.
- Brushed stainless steel and glacier white, powder-coated steel exterior with blue accents.
- Full color, 5" capacitive touch screen with Lyo-Works™ OS:
- Real time display of collector temperature, vacuum level, and optional End-Zone™ end point detection system.
- Start–up mode for collector cool-down and vacuum pull-down (automatic or manual).
- Operating mode (standby or run).
- Vacuum set point, alerts, diagnostic tests, user manual, defrost control, and optional drying accessory parameters.
- Data logging stores and displays data in table or chart format, exportable via USB or Ethernet.
- Settings include language (English, Spanish, French, German, or Italian), time, time zone, temperature (° C or ° F), and vacuum (mBar, Torr, or Pa).
- Alerts are programmable to send via Ethernet connection to user-entered email addresses.
- Display settings include brightness, touch sounds (on/off), and screen time out in minutes (on/off).
- Maintenance alert settings include vacuum pump oil change, refrigeration cleaning, total operating hours and line voltage offset.
- Level-specific security lock-out prevents changes to programs and other system parameters.
- Hot gas defrost with auto shut off at +60° C.
- On/standby switch.
- Moisture sensor that prevents refrigeration or vacuum start-up when moisture is detected in the drain line.
- Vacuum control valve that maintains vacuum level set point.
- Vacuum break valve that bleeds air into the system when power to the freeze dryer or vacuum pump is shut off. If a power outage less than approximately 5 minutes occurs, the freeze dryer will restart and refrigeration and vacuum system will resume operation once power is restored. If the power failure is more than approximately 5 minutes and the collector warms above safe limits, the freeze dryer will not automatically restart.
- Side-mounted USB port and rear-mounted Ethernet connection.
- Front-mounted, quick-disconnect drain hose fitting and side-mounted lanyard with hose connector. 18", 1/4" ID silicone tubing and clamp included.
- Internal electrical receptacle for vacuum pump connection.
- 3-wire electrical cord with plug.
- 3/4" OD vacuum connection, 36" of 3/4" ID vacuum hose and two clamps.
Options Include
- PTFE-coated collector coil and chamber for processing involving corrosive compounds.
- Purge valve for isolating the vacuum pump from the freeze dryer.
