Bench-top Manifold Freeze Dryer LBFD-D12

Labtron’s Manifold Freeze Dryer is primarily used for lyophilizing of biological materials, pharmaceuticals, chemical samples, or lab reagents. It is especially suitable for high-throughput applications in research laboratories and academic institutions where precise control over temperature and vacuum is needed for drying heat-sensitive substances. The system allows for gentle dehydration of aqueous or solvent-based samples without affecting their structure or activity, making it ideal for long-term storage or analytical preparation.

Yes, our Manifold Freeze Dryer is well-equipped to handle corrosive or organic solvents, thanks to its standard Teflon anti-corrosion coating on the cold trap and condensing coil. Additionally, users can choose an optional 316L stainless steel drying chamber with a black Teflon coating, which is specifically designed for use with aggressive solvents. This makes it safe for working with a wide range of chemical compounds that might otherwise degrade unprotected internal components.

It includes reserved ports for up to 6 external valve connections, and users can add a stainless steel vertical multi-port manifold rack. This allows for flask or ampoule-based freeze-drying, making it versatile enough to accommodate both tray-drying and manifold applications depending on the sample format.

Our Manifold Freeze Dryer comes with several built-in safety and monitoring features to ensure stable and reliable operation. These include thermal electromagnetic over-current and short-circuit protection, which guard against electrical faults. The system also monitors ambient temperature and will issue an alarm if the environment becomes too hot, potentially compromising system performance. Additionally, it actively reminds users of upcoming maintenance schedules and vacuum pump oil replacement needs, ensuring the equipment stays in top condition.

Yes, advanced monitoring and analysis features are available as optional upgrades. The Manifold Freeze Dryer can be equipped with a eutectic point detection device, which helps identify the optimal freeze-drying temperature for complex samples. An endpoint judgment detection system is also available, which can automatically determine when drying is complete, improving process efficiency and consistency. For research purposes, data output and analysis functionality can be added to help track performance and document results.
