Labconco FreeZone 6 Floor-Model Lyophilizer Freeze Dryer for Sample Preservation

The Labconco FreeZone 6 Floor-Model Freeze Dryer is engineered for precise lyophilization of heat-sensitive biological and pharmaceutical samples, making it essential for molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

• Capacity & Performance: Handles up to 6 liters of ice storage with the ability to remove 4.1 liters of water in 24 hours under optimal ambient temperature (≤ 21°C / 70°F).
• Refrigeration System: Features a dual 1/3 hp CFC-free cascade refrigeration system achieving condenser temperatures down to -84°C (-119°F), enabling efficient sublimation for samples with low eutectic points.
• Construction: Durable epoxy-coated steel exterior with a ½-inch clear acrylic lid and neoprene gasket ensures sample integrity while maintaining sterile conditions.
• User Interface & Controls: LED “wave” display provides real-time operational status; an LCD screen offers selectable parameters including temperature units (°C or °F), vacuum measurement units (mBar, Pa, Torr), and comprehensive maintenance tracking (hours of refrigeration/vacuum operation and service intervals).
• Additional Features: Includes a purge valve, built-in drying chamber, and is specifically designed not to be used with solvents like acetonitrile, methanol, or ethanol to ensure safety and device longevity.

Widely adopted in synthetic biology research, biotechnology laboratories, and clinical diagnostics, this freeze dryer supports workflows requiring reliable dehydration and preservation of delicate biological materials. Its robust design and precise control features make it critical in gene editing sample preparation and live-cell imaging protocols relying on consistent lyophilization.
