StonyLab
Benchtop Freeze Dryer with Vacuum Pump, -60°C Cold Trap, 0.08-0.12 ㎡ Drying Area, 4 kg/Batch Water Capture Capacity
About this item
Freeze-Drying Samples That Are Sensitive to Heat?
Traditional drying methods can expose samples to elevated temperatures, which may alter their structure or properties.
This StonyLab freeze dryer removes moisture through low-temperature freezing and vacuum sublimation. Water transitions directly from ice to vapor, helping preserve sample morphology during the drying process.
Applications: freeze-drying biological samples, pharmaceutical materials, chemical compounds, plant extracts, food research specimens, and materials used in university and laboratory research projects.
Unsure Whether This Freeze Dryer Is Large Enough for Your Application?
This benchtop system is designed for laboratory-scale freeze-drying and pilot research.
Key Specifications:
- Cold Trap Temperature: -60°C
- Drying Area: 0.08–0.12 m²
- Water Capture Capacity: Up to 4 kg/batch
- Freeze-Drying Functions: Pre-Freezing & Defrost
- Vacuum System: Included Vacuum Pump
- Recommended Pump Oil: Vacuum pump oil with viscosity grade 100 (ISO VG 100)
The 0.08–0.12㎡ drying area provides space for multiple sample containers while maintaining a compact laboratory footprint.
Different applications require different sample containers.
This freeze dryer supports freeze-drying in ampoules, vials, glass flasks, plasma bottles, Petri dishes, and stainless-steel trays, enabling both laboratory container processing and bulk material drying.
Depending on the selected configuration, users can freeze-dry bulk materials directly on trays or process samples in laboratory containers.
StonyLab offers multiple freeze dryer configurations to support different workflows.

Quick Selection Guide
- Choose Standard Type if you primarily freeze-dry bulk materials directly on trays.
- Choose Gland Type if you need to freeze-dry samples in vials and seal them under vacuum after drying.
- Choose Manifold Type if you work with external flasks or samples that require stirring or shaking before freeze-drying.
- Choose Multi-Manifold Gland Type if you need maximum flexibility for trays, vials, and external flasks in a single system.
