Benchtop Laboratory Freeze Dryer for Lab Use

Introduction

This benchtop laboratory freeze dryer is an essential piece of equipment designed for the lyophilization of a wide range of samples. Freeze drying, or lyophilization, is a dehydration process that involves freezing the material and then reducing the surrounding pressure to allow the frozen water in the material to sublime directly from the solid phase to the gas phase. This gentle drying method is ideal for preserving heat-sensitive materials, biological specimens, pharmaceuticals, and food products, allowing them to be stored for extended periods at ambient temperatures while maintaining their original structure, biological activity, and chemical integrity. Upon rehydration, the dried product can be quickly restored to its original state. 

Applications

This freeze dryer finds extensive applications in research and production environments, including:

• Biopharmaceutical development and production
• Medical diagnostics and research
• Food science and preservation
• Material science and chemical analysis         

Technical Parameters

Key Features & Advantages:

This freeze dryer offers a combination of performance, versatility, and user-friendliness, providing significant value to laboratory professionals:

• Intuitive Operation & Monitoring: Features a 7-inch color LCD touchscreen with a bilingual (Chinese/English) interface. It clearly displays critical parameters such as sample temperature, cold trap temperature, and vacuum levels in both curve and digital formats. The ergonomically tilted screen ensures comfortable viewing and operation.
• Robust Performance & Efficient Cooling: Equipped with a large-opening cold trap capable of reaching temperatures of ≤ -60°C. The high-performance compressor ensures strong and stable cooling. The cold trap itself is designed without internal coils, featuring seamless construction with rounded corners for easy cleaning and enhanced corrosion resistance. It can also be utilized for pre-freezing samples.
• Versatile Sample Handling:
  • Tray Drying: Includes 3 layers of stainless steel material trays with adjustable spacing, suitable for drying bulk materials within the transparent bell-jar drying chamber. This chamber allows for direct visual observation of the drying process.
  • Manifold Drying: Offers an 8-port manifold for attaching various flask types (e.g., bell-type or cylindrical) for drying multiple smaller samples simultaneously.
  • Enhanced Pre-Freezing: The material rack can serve as a pre-freezing platform and also acts as a flow guide to accelerate the drying speed. The design minimizes cold loss during pre-freezing, contributing to energy savings and preventing condensation.
• Reliable Components & Design:
  • Durable Construction: The sample contact surfaces and cold trap are made of stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning.
  • Efficient Condenser: Utilizes a high-efficiency air-cooled condenser with aerodynamically designed fan blades to improve heat dissipation and enhance energy efficiency.
  • Advanced Refrigeration: Employs self-cascade refrigeration technology for reliable and consistent performance.
• Data Management: Features historical data query and export functions, capable of storing nearly a month's worth of operational data for process tracking and reproducibility.
• Standardized Connectivity: Includes an international standard vacuum pump interface, allowing connection to various vacuum pump systems.
• Optional Features for Customization:
  • Nitrogen gas backfill interface
  • Oil mist filter
  • Cold trap defrost function
  • Vacuum pump anti-suck-back device

This laboratory freeze dryer provides a reliable, efficient, and versatile solution for your lyophilization needs, ensuring the integrity and long-term stability of your valuable samples. It is designed to streamline your workflow and deliver consistent, high-quality results.

Warnings

Operator safety is the top important issue! Please operate the equipment with cautions. Working with inflammable& explosive or toxic gases is very dangerous, operators must take all necessary precautions before starting the equipment. Working with positive pressure inside the reactors or chambers is dangerous, operator must fellow the safety procedures strictly. Extra caution must also be taken when operating with air-reactive materials, especially under vacuum. A leak can draw air into the apparatus and cause a violent reaction to occur.
