The Labconco FreeZone 2.5 Liter -50°C Benchtop Freeze Dryer is a compact, reliable laboratory freeze-drying system designed for efficient lyophilization of research samples. Its -50°C collector temperature and benchtop design make it ideal for laboratories requiring dependable freeze-drying performance in a space-efficient system.
Bring advanced freeze-drying capability into laboratories where space is at a premium with the Labconco FreeZone 2.5 Liter -50°C Benchtop Freeze Dryer. Built for demanding research and laboratory applications, this compact 2.5L freeze dryer combines a small footprint with sophisticated temperature, vacuum and process-control features.
The upright stainless steel collector coil holds up to 2.5 liters of ice before defrosting, while the acrylic collector lid features a neoprene gasket and a 3-inch port for connecting compatible drying accessories. Its brushed stainless steel and glacier-white powder-coated exterior, complemented by blue accents, provides a professional laboratory appearance built around practical durability.
The system’s -50°C collector temperature makes it suitable for a wide range of freeze-drying applications, particularly when working with aqueous samples. For applications involving corrosive compounds, an optional PTFE-coated collector coil and chamber is available.
The FreeZone 2.5L laboratory freeze dryer puts critical operating information directly at your fingertips through a 5-inch full-color capacitive touchscreen running Lyo-Works™ OS.
Real-time monitoring provides visibility into collector temperature and vacuum level, while the optional End-Zone™ endpoint detection system can provide additional process monitoring. Startup modes can be configured for automatic or manual collector cool-down and vacuum pull-down, while operating modes include standby and run.
Advanced controls allow users to manage vacuum set points, alerts, diagnostic testing, defrost functions and drying accessory parameters. Data logging stores process information in table or chart formats, with data export available through USB or Ethernet.
The interface also supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German and Italian. Temperature can be displayed in °C or °F, while vacuum measurements can be configured in mBar, Torr or Pa.
For laboratories requiring controlled access, level-specific security lockout helps prevent unauthorized changes to programs and system parameters. Programmable Ethernet alerts can also send notifications to designated email addresses, helping users stay informed about their equipment remotely.
Designed for dependable laboratory operation, the Labconco FreeZone -50°C benchtop freeze dryer incorporates multiple features intended to support safe and controlled freeze-drying workflows.
A moisture sensor prevents refrigeration or vacuum startup when moisture is detected in the drain line. The vacuum control valve maintains the selected vacuum set point, while the vacuum break valve introduces air into the system when the freeze dryer or vacuum pump is switched off.
The system also incorporates hot-gas defrost with automatic shutoff at +60°C (+140°F) and maintenance alerts for vacuum pump oil changes, refrigeration cleaning, total operating hours and line-voltage offset.
In the event of a short power interruption of approximately five minutes or less, the freeze dryer can restart and resume refrigeration and vacuum operation once power is restored. Longer outages may prevent automatic restart if the collector exceeds safe temperature limits.
Connectivity and installation are designed for practical laboratory use, with a side-mounted USB port, rear Ethernet connection, quick-disconnect drain fitting, electrical receptacle for vacuum pump connection and included vacuum and drain tubing.
A suitable vacuum pump and compatible drying accessories are required and sold separately. The system requires a vacuum pump with at least 98 L/min displacement and 0.002 mBar ultimate pressure, with an appropriate fitting for the supplied 3/4-inch vacuum hose.
For researchers and laboratories seeking compact equipment without sacrificing sophisticated process control, the Labconco FreeZone 2.5 Liter -50°C Benchtop Freeze Dryer delivers a powerful combination of precision monitoring, intelligent data management, safety features and professional laboratory-grade construction.
