Lyovapor™ L-250

Save energy, enhance performance

Profit from reduced electrical energy consumption due to the smart design of our compressor.

Achieve an ice condenser capacity of 4 kg /24 h, with a total capacity of 5 kg.

The stable ice condenser temperature allows for the efficient collection of water and organic-based solvents.

EcoStream™ Innovation

Our innovative compressor design enables the condenser to reach temperatures as low as -85°C.

Features a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating of just 4 with natural coolants, reducing the environmental impact.

Lower the amount of heat output and noise emissions in your lab.

Embrace efficiency and elevate control

Featuring Infinite-Control™ technology that offers unprecedented levels of process control via display, software, and mobile app.

Benefit from sample protective state and endpoint determination for a safe and short freeze drying run.

The hot gas feature boosts efficiency by speeding up the melting of ice layers on the condenser coil.

Easy installation on a bench, trolley, or fume hood.

Certified sustainability by ACT label

BUCHI’s commitment to sustainable production, product life cycle management, and innovative technology is officially certified by ACT label. 

The obtained label supports the customer journey toward sustainable procurement and laboratory operations.  

The label is valid in the EU, UK, and USA and can be downloaded for the L-250 Basic and L-250 Pro configurations. 

Features

  • Experience comprehensive data management tools, allowing for detailed analysis and evaluation of recorded data as well as customized reports. Designed for user-friendly operation, it allows you to conveniently create and start methods right from your desk.

  • Several drying chambers accommodate a wide range of applications. Unheated and heated shelves in combination with manifold, plain and stoppering cover as well as manifold rack with 12 to 24 connections. 

     

  • Endpoint determination using pressure and temperature difference tests for heated shelf applications and processes on a manifold steel drying rack. 

  • The system provides a real-time graphical display of key process parameters, including drying chamber pressure, sample temperature, and shelf temperature. These can be monitored directly through the interface as well as via an app and accompanying software.

  • Offers advanced drying capabilities in vials and trays. Achieve precise control of residual moisture and faster drying times. This instrument allows customized method programming, ensuring enhanced sample integrity and the highest level of reproducibility. Additionally, it features a robust heating shelf.

  • The pro version features a sample protective state that automatically activates if the sample temperature rises above the set collapse temperature, offering peace of mind by safeguarding precious samples.

  • Easily dry both liquid and solid materials in flasks and trays. The stable ice condenser temperature ensures complete solvent collection, even for large sample quantities, complemented by precise endpoint determination.
