The Triad Benchtop Freeze Dryer is designed for versatile lyophilization including flask, bulk, and stoppering vial drying. Its compact design fits perfectly in busy labs, delivering reliable performance across multiple sample formats.
Product Features
- Stainless steel collector coil capable of removing 1.84 L of water in 24 hours and holding 2.5 L of ice before defrosting
- Two 1/3 hp HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration compressors cool the collector to -85° C and work with a 1000-watt heater to regulate fluid medium circulating through shelf channels (not for methanol or ethanol samples)
- Processing shelf measures 31.5 x 36.8 cm, with spacing accommodating containers with stoppers up to 148 mm height
- One temperature probe monitors sample temperature within the chamber
- Temperature ramp and hold programming from -55° C to +50° C, and down to -75° C during pre-freezing, with ±1° C control accuracy
- Memory stores up to 30 programs with 16 segments each, including ramp rate, shelf temperature, hold time, and vacuum level
- Full color 5" capacitive touch screen with Lyo-Works™ OS for real-time collector temperature and vacuum display
- Manual start-up controls for collector, shelf temperature, and vacuum pull-down
- Alerts, diagnostics, user manual access, and defrost control functions
- Data logging with table and graph formats, exportable via USB or Ethernet
- Multi-language support (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian), configurable time, temperature (°C/°F), and vacuum units (mBar, Torr, Pa)
- Ethernet alerts emailed to user-defined addresses
- Vacuum pump maintenance alert and security lock-out features
- Pneumatic stoppering mechanism with diaphragm and plate; no compressed gas required
- Stoppering control knob, vacuum release knob, and 1/8" OD sterile/inert gas backfill port (user-supplied)
- Four neoprene valves with molded knobs compatible with 1/2" and 3/4" flask adapters
- USB port and Ethernet connectivity
- Electrical receptacle for vacuum pump
- Hot gas defrost system with stainless steel drain pan, silicone drain hose, and auto shut-off at +60° C
- Vacuum control valve and vacuum break valve
- Durable stainless steel and powder-coated steel exterior
- Clear acrylic door, 1" thick, with silicone gasket and latch
- 3/4" OD vacuum connection with 36" long, 3/4" ID vacuum hose and two clamps included
Note: Vacuum pump and freeze dry glassware (if not bulk freeze drying) are required and not included.
Required Accessories (Not Included)
- Vacuum pump with displacement of at least 98 L/min, 0.002 mBar ultimate pressure, and fitting for 3/4" ID vacuum hose
- Freeze dry glassware if not bulk freeze drying
