The Labconco FreeZone 6L -84°C Console Freeze Dryer with Stoppering Tray Dryer and stainless steel coil is purpose-built for lyophilizing moderate to large sample loads and securely stoppering vials or serum bottles under vacuum. Combining robust refrigeration systems with advanced touchscreen control, it delivers precision and reliability for laboratory freeze drying applications.
Product Features
- Upright stainless steel collector coil holds up to 6L of ice before defrosting; stainless steel collector lid, 3/4" thick, with neoprene gasket
- FreeZone Stoppering Tray Dryer with three 16.5" x 12" processing shelves, 1hp refrigeration system and 1000W electric heater for shelf temperature control
- 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
- 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 displayed in table or chart format, exportable via USB or Ethernet
- Settings for language, time, time zone, temperature units (°C/°F), and vacuum units (mBar, Torr, Pa)
- Programmable alerts sent via Ethernet to user-entered email addresses
- Display settings include brightness, touch sounds (on/off), and screen time out (on/off)
- Maintenance alerts for vacuum pump oil changes, refrigeration cleaning, operating hours, and line voltage offset
- Level-specific security lock-out for program protection
- 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 maintains set vacuum level
- Vacuum break valve restarts system automatically after short power outages (under ~5 minutes); if over ~5 minutes and collector warms, system will not restart automatically
- Side-mounted USB port and rear-mounted Ethernet connection
- Front quick-disconnect drain hose fitting; side-mounted lanyard with hose connector; includes 18" of 1/4" ID silicone tubing and clamp
- Internal electrical receptacle for vacuum pump connection; 3-wire electrical cord with plug
- 3/4" OD vacuum connection; includes 36" of 3/4" ID vacuum hose and two clamps
Note: Vacuum pump and freeze dry glassware (if not bulk freeze drying) are required but not included.
Options Include
- PTFE-coated collector coil and chamber for handling corrosive compounds
- Purge valve to isolate the vacuum pump from the freeze dryer
Required Accessories (Not Included)
- Vacuum pump with at least 163L/min displacement, 0.002mBar ultimate pressure, and fitting for 3/4" ID vacuum hose
Benefits
- Reliable stoppering under vacuum for secure sample sealing
- Robust -84°C collector handles low eutectic point solvents like acetonitrile
- Advanced Lyo-Works OS simplifies monitoring and data logging
- Flexible system configuration with options for corrosive samples and isolation valves
- Compact console design maximizes lab space
- Automatic restart after brief power interruptions reduces downtime
