Available with a wide choice of drying chambers to suit your sample type, the LyoDry Compact Benchtop Freeze Dryer is a high end, low cost, lab freeze dryer, used and endorsed by universities, government research institutes, pharmaceutical, food & beverage laboratories, throughout the UK and overseas.

​

The latest generation LyoDry Compact Benchtop Freeze Dryer, with 5Kg condenser capacity, includes hot gas defrost, a user-friendly, digital display, and condenser temperature options of either -55°C, or -85°C for low temperature freeze drying. (For added functionality including a touch screen operator interface, temperature and pressure trending and data logging, see the LyoDry Benchtop Pro version).

​

LyoDry Compact is suitable for a broad range of applications, including food, pharmaceutical, floral and many laboratory applications.

The LyoDry Compact was originally designed to directly replace the Edwards EF4 Modulyo® benchtop freeze dryer, but today incorporates the latest advances in freeze drying technology. Its polished, stainless steel cabinet is ideal for R&D laboratories and food preparation environments where space is limited. Add a purpose-built, SS trolley for added convenience.

Ice Condenser Temperature and Capacity:

Lyodry Compact has a condenser capacity of 5Kg and condenser temperature options of either:

• -55°C (part number LSBC55) or

• -85°C (part number LSBC85)

​

The LyoDry Compact features a clear, bright LCD display, visible even from a distance. Simple commands allow the operator to view vacuum units in millibar, Torr or pascal and temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. System status is obvious, even at a glance. The vacuum pump can be controlled on-screen, and the user is prompted to do this when the condenser reaches temperature.
