Freeze dryer for the pharmaceutical industry LFD-202

for researchfor the food industryfor research and development

Product Overview
The Labotemp LFD-202 is a laboratory vacuum freeze dryer (lyophilizer) engineered for precise preservation of temperature‑sensitive samples. The unit integrates a manual vial capping mechanism for vacuum sealing after drying and offers a 0.08 m² drying area, a −60°C cold trap and a 2 Pa ultimate vacuum to enable efficient moisture removal while preserving sample structure and activity.

Design & Operation
Designed for routine laboratory use, the LFD-202 features a 7-inch touchscreen HMI for programing and real-time display of vacuum, temperature and drying curves, with USB data export for traceable process documentation. The Secop refrigeration module provides stable low-temperature performance and energy-efficient operation. Safety and operational functions include delayed vacuum pump start, automatic parameter storage, vacuum alarms, inert gas filling port and one-click defrost/auxiliary heating. Corrosion-resistant components and industrial-grade controls ensure long-term reliability.
