Freeze dryer for the pharmaceutical industry LFD-203

biologicalfor the food industrybiomedical

Overview
Labotemp LFD-203 is a floor-standing vacuum freeze dryer designed for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food, environmental and research laboratories requiring increased sample capacity and reproducible lyophilization. The system provides a 0.12 m² freeze-drying area with four stainless-steel shelves, a −60°C cold trap (optional −80°C), a 2 Pa ultimate vacuum and a transparent corrosion-resistant drying chamber for continuous sample observation.

Key Operational Highlights

• 7-inch touchscreen HMI with real-time monitoring of vacuum, cold-trap and product temperature plus freeze-drying curves; USB export for process records.
• Energy-efficient Secop compressor with hybrid refrigeration for stable low-temperature performance.
• Operational protections: delayed vacuum pump start, vacuum alarms, power-off auto-inflation, inert-gas filling port, one-touch defrost and automatic parameter storage.

Features

• One-touch auxiliary heating/defrost for rapid recovery.
• Standard 0.12 m² freeze-drying area with Ø200 mm trays, 4 layers.
• Real-time multi-curve storage and USB data export for documentation.
• Transparent corrosion-resistant PE drying chamber for sample visibility.
• Stainless-steel vacuum line with KF25 quick-connect clamp for low-temperature corrosion resistance.
• Delayed vacuum pump start and vacuum alarm to protect samples and extend pump life.
• Inert gas filling port and one-touch auxiliary heating for controlled handling.
• Industrial embedded controller, axial cooling fan with dual-ball bearings, magnetic maintenance panel and automated maintenance reminders.

Applications

• Pharmaceutical research: vaccines, formulations, APIs and other heat-sensitive materials.
• Biotechnology: proteins, enzymes, cultures and biological sample preservation.
• Food & nutraceutical R&D: lyophilization of food extracts, probiotics and plant-based samples.
• Clinical and diagnostic labs: preservation of reagents and biological specimens.
• Microbiology: controlled drying of microbial cultures and preparations.
• Environmental and plant research: sample preparation and long-term preservation of extracts and botanical materials.
• Laboratory R&D and pilot-scale studies for formulation development and process optimization.
