The Labconco FreeZone Benchtop Freeze Dryer is a vital tool for material preservation through lyophilization, ensuring ease of handling and long-term shelf stability of samples. Equipped with a 4.5 L capacity collector that efficiently maintains a temperature of –84°C, it is uniquely suited for lyophilizing mixtures such as acetonitrile and water, or any sample with a eutectic point of –64°C or higher, ensuring optimal drying results. This unit allows for the simultaneous freeze-drying of multiple samples using any of its 12 manifold ports, accommodating a wide range of flask sizes from 40 to 600 mL. Additionally, the collector's PTFE lining provides resistance to corrosion, making this system ideal for handling samples containing dilute acids such as TFA or formic acid, which are often used in preparative high-performance liquid chromatography.
