Bulk Tray Dryers

FreeZone Bulk Tray Dryers lyophilize moderate to large bulk sample loads or numerous small batches of vials or serum bottles. The Bulk Tray Dryers have three large, 12.7” x 16.6” shelves that heat up to +60° C. Options include a 6-port manifold, isolation valve, additional heated shelves and sample trays.

Lyo-Works™ OS lets the user set up to 30 programs, with up to 16 steps each; record, chart and store data; and receive email alerts. The tray dryer connects to a FreeZone Console Freeze Dryer that provides a real time display of the tray dryer’s parameters on a large capacitive touchscreen.

FreeZone Console Freeze Dryer manufactured after July 2017 and vacuum pump are required (not included).

Gail's Story Changed the Way We Think About Lab Freeze Drying

When she visited Kelly at Labconco, Gail's struggle led to an epiphany that would change how laboratory freeze drying is done. With the creation of Lyo-Works OS, samples can now be monitored from anywhere. And with End-Zone™ End Point Detection, now FreeZone Freeze Dryers can even send you an alert when your samples are completely lyophilized.
