Labconco FreeZone Plus 6 Liter Freeze Dryer System
The Labconco FreeZone Plus 6 Liter freeze dryer is a laboratory lyophilization system listed with a vacuum pump and bulk tray dryer. This configuration brings together the freeze dryer, vacuum equipment, and tray drying components. The unit has undergone partial functional testing; therefore, the recorded results are included below to help buyers evaluate its operating condition and configuration.
FreeZone Plus Freeze Dryer Overview
According to Labconco manufacturer literature, the FreeZone Plus 6 Liter Cascade series features a stainless-steel collector with a 6-liter ice capacity and a specified collector temperature of -84°C. The published series specifications also indicate a water removal capacity of 4 liters in 24 hours. These figures describe the manufacturer’s specifications and should not be interpreted as verified performance results for this particular unit.
The listed configuration includes the freeze dryer, vacuum pump, and bulk tray dryer. During inspection, the vacuum pump operated when activated. The tray dryer also powered on; however, temperature testing revealed uneven performance across its shelves.
FreeZone Plus Freeze Dryer Functional Test Results
- Refrigeration system: Cooled from 24°C to -74°C in approximately 12 minutes during testing.
- Vacuum pump: Operated when activated.
- Bulk tray dryer: Powered on, but temperature readings varied between shelves.
- Shelf temperature readings: Shelves 1 and 5 reached 54°C, while shelf 3 remained at 28°C.
- Exterior condition: Excellent cosmetic condition.
- Stainless-steel interior: Clean.
- Acrylic door and gasket: Appear intact.
Although the refrigeration system reached -74°C during the recorded test, this result does not establish that the unit achieves the manufacturer’s published -84°C collector specification. In addition, the uneven shelf temperatures should be considered when evaluating the bulk tray dryer. Further testing may be necessary to determine whether the system meets specific process requirements.
