Prodott Overview

The Labconco FreeZone Triad Cascade Benchtop Freeze Dry System is designed for efficient lyophilization, offering both stoppering tray drying and sample freeze drying with four dedicated sample valves. This system allows for simultaneous processing of samples using both methods. A key feature is its integrated chamber for pre-freezing samples, which eliminates the need for external freezers and reduces transfer time and costs. The system is equipped with user-friendly controls and a microprocessor capable of managing up to five distinct ramping and holding temperature segments, accommodating various experimental protocols. Cleanup is simplified by a hot gas defrost function, capable of melting up to 1.8 liters of water or 2.5 liters of ice. The built-in pneumatic stoppering mechanism operates without requiring compressed gas and is compatible with glassware ranging from 31mm to 148mm on its 12.4"w x 14.5"d shelf. Two 1/3 hp CFC-free and HCFC-free refrigeration systems cool the collector to -85°C (-121°F), making it suitable for processing samples with low eutectic points, including those containing acetonitrile.

• Sensor probe monitors sample temperature digitally.
• Erbgħa sample valves enhance the capacity and flexibility of the freeze dryer.
• Integrated pneumatic stoppering mechanism eliminates the need for external compressed gas.
• Durable construction with brushed stainless and glacier white epoxy-coated steel, accented with blue.
• Chamber pre-freezes samples, optimizing time and resource utilization.

Setup Istruzzjonijiet

1. Spakkjar u Spezzjoni: Carefully remove the system from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage incurred during shipping. Report any damage to the carrier and Labconco immediately.
2. Pjazzament: Position the freeze dryer on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and maintenance access. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
3. Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija: Connect the system to a dedicated electrical outlet matching the specified voltage (230 Volts, 60 Hz). Ensure the power supply is stable and properly grounded.
4. Kontrolli Inizjali: Before first use, verify that all connections are secure and that the chamber door seals properly. Familiarize yourself with the control panel layout.

Proċeduri Operattivi

1. Sample Preparazzjoni: Ipprepara samples for lyophilization. For tray drying, place samples on the shelf within the chamber. For manifold drying, connect sample flasks to the four sample valves on the left side.
2. Pre-Freezing: Utilize the integrated chamber to pre-freeze samples. Close the chamber door securely. Activate the pre-freeze function via the control panel. Monitor sample temperature digitally using the sensor probe.
3. Starting a Run: Ladarba samples are adequately frozen, initiate the freeze-drying cycle. Program the desired temperature and vacuum protocols using the microprocessor controls, which allow for up to five different ramping and holding segments.
4. Monitoraġġ tal-Progress: Continuously monitor the system's performance, including collector temperature, vacuum level, and sample temperature, through the control panel display.
5. Ending a Run: Upon completion of the drying cycle, release the vacuum and carefully remove the dried samples.

Manutenzjoni

1. Defrosting the Collector: After each run or when ice accumulation is significant, activate the hot gas defrost function. This facilitates the melting and removal of up to 1.8 liters of water or 2.5 liters of ice from the collector.
2. Tindif: Regularly clean the exterior surfaces of the unit with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For the chamber interior and shelves, use appropriate laboratory cleaning agents. Ensure all surfaces are dry before next use.
3. Spezzjoni tas-Siġill: Periodically inspect the door gasket and other seals for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Damaged seals can compromise vacuum integrity.
4. Manutenzjoni tal-Pompa tal-Vakwu: Refer to the vacuum pump's separate instruction manual for specific maintenance requirements, such as oil changes and filter replacements.

Issolvi l-problemi

• Is-Sistema Mhux Tixgħel: Check the power cord connection, the electrical outlet, and the circuit breaker. Ensure the main power switch on the unit is in the 'ON' position.
• Collector Not Cooling: Verify that the refrigeration systems are active. Check for any error codes on the control panel. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
• Poor Vacuum Performance: Inspect the chamber door seal for proper closure and damage. Check all connections to the vacuum pump and ensure the pump is operating correctly. Verify that the drain valve is closed.
• Samples Not Drying Properly: Tiżgura samples were adequately pre-frozen. Verify that the vacuum level is sufficient and that the collector temperature is low enough for the sample type. Check for any leaks in the system.
• Kodiċijiet ta' Żball Murija: Consult the specific error code definitions in the comprehensive user manual (if available) or contact Labconco technical support for assistance.
