Your samples are our motivation. Because we know
how much freeze drying matters. Tissue research.
Drug discoveries. Vaccine development. Lives saved.
Your freeze dried samples may need to be stoppered
in vials under vacuum. Or you may have a variety of
samples on trays and in asks. If so, consider the
FreeZone® Triad®.
Triad makes selecting the right freeze dryer system easy.
How? By combining a benchtop lyophilizer with a built-in
stoppering tray dryer for vials and four port manifold for
asks. Its -85° C collector can handle either aqueous or
dilute acetonitrile samples. Add a vacuum pump and
you’re ready to go. Ready to start your work.
As we’ve done since 1974, we build each FreeZone by
hand. With care. And the highest quality materials. Your
Triad will last and last.

We considered everything. All in one system. Versatile

Lyo-Works is more than a large touch screen display.
It’s a set of powerful controls and useful insights
about
your freeze drying process. You’ll experience peace of
mind about the integrity of your samples throughout
lyophilization, even when you’re not in the lab.
Lyo-Works lets you monitor, record and store the
condition of your samples.
• Real time on-screen tables and graphs to
immediately show sample status so you can make
adjustments if needed
See how Lyo-Works works at labconco.com/lyo-works.
• Data and program storage for repeatability
of protocols
• Data transfer via Ethernet or USB port
(no additional recorders or computers needed)
Your samples and time are valuable. Find out how your
samples are doing every step of the way from your
smartphone—at work or away.

FreeZone® Triad® Benchtop Freeze Dryers
Features & Benets
❉
Pneumatic mechanism stoppers containers on shelf
Containers are stoppered while chamber is under vacuum and
without the use of compressed gas. Atmospheric pressure causes
the diaphragm to expand. The pressurized diaphragm forces
the plate down, pushing the stoppers into the containers.
❉
Environmentally-safe
refrigeration
Two compressors cool the
collector coil to -85° C
(-121° F), ideal for samples with
low eutectic points including
ones containing dilute
acetonitrile. Refrigeration and
heat alter the temperature of
uid circulating through
channels in the shelf. Shelf
may be set to pre-freeze and
then to lyophilize. Safe
refrigerant is non-ammable
and does not contain
hydrochlorouorocarbons
(HCFCs) or chlorouorocarbons
(CFCs) that can damage
the ozone.
❉
Collector drain pan and hose
Stainless steel drain pan
catches defrosted condensate.
Remove the pan for cleaning.
Four valve ports
Versatile Triad lets you freeze
dry samples in asks and on
the shelf at the same time.
Pre-freeze samples to save
money and time
Samples may be frozen on the
shelf at a controlled rate,
eliminating the need for a
separate freezer and
product transfer.
