About
The Labconoco FreeZone 12 Liter -84 °C Console Freeze Dryer is an instrument designed for lyophilizing moderate to large sample loads. The condenser can hold 12 liters of ice before defrosting. A single, one-horsepower, HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration system cools the collector to –84 °C, which is suitable for aqueous samples. This system includes 12 different ports that can be used to hold multiple samples. Real time display of collector temperature and vacuum level is also shown on a 5” full color, capacitive touchscreen.
