Why choose the LyoCubic benchtop shelf freeze dryer

LyoCubic from Antech is a fully integrated benchtop shelf freeze dryer for laboratory use. It simplifies laboratory lyophilisation while delivering reliable performance for research and production environments. Apex Scientific supplies LyoCubic throughout South Africa. The system combines pre-freezing, primary drying, and secondary drying within a single chamber. This design eliminates the need for an external freezer or manual sample transfer. As a laboratory shelf freeze dryer, LyoCubic reduces handling, protects sensitive samples, and improves workflow efficiency.

 

Integrated in-situ freeze drying

The in-situ freeze drying process allows users to load liquid samples directly into the chamber. Temperature-controlled shelves complete both freezing and drying in one continuous sequence. Consequently, the system eliminates sample transfers, reducing contamination risks and improving reproducibility. In addition, the ergonomic front-loading chamber replaces the traditional lift-off cylindrical chamber. Scientists can load and unload samples as easily as they would use a standard laboratory refrigerator. This practical design improves efficiency while maintaining sample integrity throughout the freeze drying process.


Integrated Laboratory Lyophilizer

The LyoCubic Benchtop Shelf Freeze Dryer from Antech Scientific is a fully integrated laboratory freeze dryer designed to simplify lyophilisation for research, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and production laboratories. The LyoCubic combines pre-freezing, primary drying, and secondary drying within a single chamber, eliminating the need for external freezers or manual sample transfer.

The intuitive LyoSmart C control platform provides one-touch programme operation, controlled chamber venting, and hot-air condenser defrosting for simple day-to-day use. 


Faster drying with precise control

Antech developed LyoCubic to improve drying efficiency and reduce processing time. Precise vacuum control lowers chamber resistance and allows water vapour to escape more efficiently during sublimation. Furthermore, heated shelves deliver carefully controlled thermal energy that accelerates desorption drying without compromising product quality. Together, these technologies make LyoCubic a compact laboratory freeze dryer suitable for laboratories that require consistent and repeatable freeze drying performance.

 

Advanced cooling system

The advanced cooling system includes a built-in 4 kg ice condenser within a compact single-chamber design. This configuration saves laboratory space while maintaining excellent condensation capacity. Laboratories can choose either a -60°C model with a single compressor or a -90°C model with a two-compressor cascade refrigeration system for lower-temperature applications. Both models use durable SECOP compressors to deliver dependable long-term performance. As a result, LyoCubic provides an excellent laboratory lyophilizer South Africa solution for a wide range of laboratory applications.

 

Simple operation with LyoSmart C

The intuitive LyoSmart C control platform simplifies routine operation. Users can start preset programmes with a single touch. They can also stop the process safely, vent the chamber gradually to protect samples, and initiate hot-air condenser defrosting. As a result, the system reduces training requirements and improves laboratory productivity during routine freeze drying procedures.
