Freeze dryer for the pharmaceutical industry LFD-202

for the food industrybiologicalbiomedical

Product Description
Labotemp LFD-202 is a laboratory vacuum freeze dryer designed for precise lyophilization of temperature-sensitive samples. The unit integrates a manual vial capping system to vacuum-seal vials after drying and features a 0.08 m² drying area, −60°C cold trap and 2 Pa ultimate vacuum to ensure efficient moisture removal while preserving sample structure and activity. A transparent PE drying chamber enables continuous observation of samples during processing.

Overview of Operation
The LFD-202 is built for routine laboratory use with a user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen HMI for program setting and real-time display of vacuum, temperature and drying curves. The Secop refrigeration module provides stable low-temperature performance with energy efficiency. Operational safeguards include delayed vacuum pump start, automatic parameter storage, vacuum alarms, an inert gas filling port, one-touch defrost/auxiliary heating and corrosion-resistant components. USB export supports process documentation and traceability.
