Lyophilization, evaporation or concentration, which is best for your samples?

Benchtop and mobile console models are offered with collector capacities from 2.5 to 18 liters. Select from -50° C models for aqueous samples, -84° C ideal for low eutectic temperatures like acetonitrile, or -105° C models for samples containing dilute methanol or ethanol. PTFE-coated collectors to prevent corrosion are also available.

Gail's Story Changed the Way We Think About Lab Freeze Drying

When she visited Kelly at Labconco, Gail's struggle led to an epiphany that would change how laboratory freeze drying is done. With the creation of Lyo-Works OS, samples can now be monitored from anywhere. And with End-Zone™ End Point Detection, now FreeZone Freeze Dryers can even send you an alert when your samples are completely lyophilized.
