The LSBC50 is a multipurpose, compact benchtop condenser with a 5 litre capacity. Add a drying accessory, and it becomes a freeze dryer.
Ideal for the laboratory environment, the LSBC50 proves a popular choice in universities and research laboratories, due to its versatility, ease of use and relatively low cost.
The LSBC50 has a user interface designed specifically for ease-of-use, featuring clear, bright digital displays for vacuum pressure and condenser temperature. At-a-glance status indicators enable the end user to confirm the system operating temperature, even from a distance. Complete with an Ethernet port for easy access to real time temperature and vacuum pressure data.
Features of the LSBC50 benchtop freeze dryer
• Compact benchtop footprint
• Digital display of vacuum and temperature
• -50°C smooth wall stainless steel ice condenser
• CFC free refrigeration system
It is designed to work with a wide variety of drying accessories to accommodate flasks (such as the column manifold pictured above) vials, ampoules, and bulk materials, enabling freeze drying of any shape or size sample.

Or for shelf drying, the LSB40 chamber (pictured below) offers advanced freeze drying on a small scale. Fitted with a temperature controlled product shelf, the LSB40 drying chamber has optional stoppering and data logging, reproducing the benefits of a larger scale freeze dryer at considerably less cost.

The drying chamber and condenser are connected via an isolation valve, and a transparent, perspex door allows the operator to inspect the product throughout the freeze drying process, also providing access for loading and unloading. The shelf temperature is accurately controlled between -40°C and +60ºC, and the chamber pressure can be automatically adjusted using an optional pressure regulator with an integral Pirani gauge.
Features of the LSB40 single shelf chamber:
• Freezing , primary and secondary drying, end point determination and backfill sequences are programmed and controlled using the operator interface.
• This interface also provides system mimic and status, data logging (optional), and fault diagnosis.
• Stoppering (optional) is manually controlled using a hand operated actuator.
