Labconco FreeZone 4.5 L Benchtop

Lab benchtopBenchtopLyo-Works OS (current)

The Labconco FreeZone 4.5 L Benchtop is a laboratory benchtop freeze dryer. It is sold without a vacuum pump. Same 2 L/24 h removal rate as the 2.5 L but with a 4.5 L collector, so it runs longer between defrosts; Labconco pitches it for 'light to moderate sample loads'. Quote only, pump not included.
