VaCo 5 -50 °C
The VaCo series is the entry-level freeze-dryer and lyophilizer. Thanks to a modular system, the laboratory freeze dryer is perfectly suited for a wide range of tasks in your laboratory. The housing is made of robust stainless steel. Depending on the application, different modules can be used with the basic device. The devices are optionally available with a -50 °C condenser or -80 °C condenser and are built according to the new EU F-Gas Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014. Environmentally friendly natural refrigerants are used.

The devices of the Vaco series are available with the following options:
Acrylic glass chamber: Depending on the size of the device, the acrylic glass chamber is available in different dimensions. The base plate represents the connection piece to the ice condenser. The chamber cover is also available with vacuum connections (NS 29/32) on request.
Stainless steel chamber: When using organic solvents or substances that attack the acrylic glass, we recommend using a stainless steel chamber.
Aluminum insert frame: The aluminum insert frame is available in 2 packages. With heated or unheated shelves.
The process is accelerated by the heatable shelves.
Drying trays: Drying trays made of stainless steel are available to match the shelves.
Dry rake – made of stainless steel, incl. 3-way valve (NS 29/32): The dry rake is ideal if drying is to take place exclusively in glass flasks or vials. In addition, an ampoule adapter is available to expand the vacuum valve for 16 ampules.
Closing device: When producing lyophilizes in vials, it is often necessary to close them after drying in a vacuum. This option is possible from the VaCo 5.
Vacuum control: With the vacuum control it is possible to set different vacuum values. With certain products, it may be necessary to run a defined vacuum.
Vacuum pump - as an oil-sealed rotary vane pump or chemical hybrid vacuum pump
