Labconco FreeZone 6 Liter -84C Console Freeze Dryer
Item#: 710611000FreeZone 6 Liter Console Freeze Dryers are designed for lyophilizing moderate to large samples loads or numerous small container batches. The console features a front viewing window, interior space for a vacuum pump, and accommodation for a large tray dryers such as the FreeZone Stoppering Tray Dryer (pump and tray dryer sold separately). These models offer a broad range of built-in options including a purge valve and mini chamber. The upright stainless steel collector coil holds 6 liters of ice before defrosting. Two 1/3 hp HCFC/CFC-free refrigeration systems cool the collector to -84° C (-119° F), suitable for low eutectic point samples including acetonitrile.
Lyo-Works™ OS provides a real time display of collector temperature, vacuum level and optional End-Zone™ end point detection system, shown on a 5" full color, capacitive touch screen. Freeze Dryer models with PTFE-coated collectors that can withstand corrosive compounds are available.

- Real time display of collector temperature, vacuum level, and optional End-Zone™ end point detection system.
- Start–up mode for collector cool-down and vacuum pull-down (automatic or manual).
- Operating mode (standby or run).
- Vacuum set point, alerts, diagnostic tests, user manual, defrost control, and optional drying accessory parameters.
- Data logging stores and displays data in table or chart format, and may be exported via USB or Ethernet.
- Settings include language (English, Spanish, French, German, or Italian), time, time zone, temperature (° C or ° F), and vacuum (mBar, Torr, or Pa).
- Alerts are programmable to send via Ethernet connection to user-entered email addresses.
- Display settings include brightness, touch sounds (on/off), and screen time out in minutes (on/off).
- Maintenance alert settings include vacuum pump oil change, refrigeration cleaning, total operating hours and line voltage offset.
- Level-specific security lock-out prevents changes to programs and other system parameters.
- Hot gas defrost with auto shut off at +60° C (+140° F).
- On/standby switch.
- Moisture sensor that prevents refrigeration or vacuum start-up when moisture is detected in the drain line.
- Vacuum control valve that maintains vacuum level set point.
- Vacuum break valve that bleeds air into the system when power to the freeze dryer or vacuum pump is shut off. If a power outage less than approximately 5 minutes occurs, the freeze dryer will restart and the refrigeration and vacuum system will resume operation once power is restored. If the power failure is more than approximately 5 minutes and the collector warms above safe limits, the freeze dryer will not automatically restart.
