Operon participated in the KOREA LABSpecial & ICPI WEEK 2021 held at KINTEX, Goyang from May 25 (Tue) to 28(Fri), and its introduced organic solvent freeze dryer LYCF-12015.

Operon is a company that has beenmanufacturing scientific equipment related to refrigeration such as freezedryers, cryogenic freezers, cryogenic test chambers, cryogenic freezers, coldtraps, and speed vacuums in Korea for 30 years. It is supplying its products,including cryogenic refrigeration systems patented in 4 countries to over 3,000companies, research institutes, universities, hospitals in 30 countries.

The freeze dryer for organic solvents(LYCF-12015) introduced at this exhibition, is equipped with a patentedcryogenic freezing cycle and boasts strong freezing performance below 120℃ andcan freeze and collect organic solvents. Park Hye-seong, the vice president ofOperon, said, “In the case of organic solvent samples, it is common that theyare not collected in a -85 degree freeze dryer due to their low freezing pointand volume that expands hundreds of times compared to general samples. Itcauses breakage of the vacuum pump and cooler.” Then, he expressed his pride inthe product, saying, "Our product solved this problem.”

The freeze dryer exclusively for organicsolvent has been receiving more attention as the control unit performance hasbeen updated. Log data such as temperature, vacuum, and various alarms aresaved, and graph display, differential pressure status, and voltage status canbe checked. Also, because the AI Advisor function is installed, when the setperformance value is lower than the set performance value, the user can knowthe performance status of the device as a percentage and take action related toit.

Also, using the patented pre-freezingsystem, it is possible to process pre-freeze-freeze-drying at once withoutusing a separate cryogenic freezer. It is an all-in-one system that can quicklyload organic solvent samples and freeze-dry them.

The Energy Saving Freeze Dryer (FDTE-50100)which was also exhibited together, is equipped with a patented energy-savingrefrigeration cycle and saves energy by more than 50%, and its pricecompetitiveness is also emphasized. According to the official, the product is suitablefor start-up companies entering exotic fields such as insect food and kimchipowder.

Another competitive advantage of thisproduct is that both chambers can be used independently. Samples with strongodors can be freeze-dried in each chamber, and only one side can be operated ifthe quantity is small. Even when it breaks, the other side works, preventingsudden production stoppages and providing a stable system.

Park said, "Based on our uniquerefrigeration technology, we would like to contribute to the widespread offreeze dryers by supplying freeze dryers to various industries." He thensaid, "We are also focusing on cryogenic-related products that areessential in special fields. We will provide an optimal solution that meetsconsumer needs."
