FreeZone Stoppering Tray Dryer 2017_for lyophilizing moderate to large loads and stoppering under vacuum

Stoppering Tray Dryers

FreeZone Stoppering Tray Dryers lyophilize moderate to large loads of vials or serum bottles and stopper them under vacuum. They offer temperature control from -40 to +40° C. Options include a 6-port manifold, isolation valve and sample trays.

A pneumatic mechanism stoppers containers under vacuum on three large adjustable processing shelves, 16.5” x 12” each. An HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration system and electric heater cool and heat fluid medium that is circulated through the shelves to maintain shelf temperatures within ±1° C.

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.
