What is the difference between the 2L and 3L models?
The 2L model has a −80 °C condenser and smaller ice capacity, suited for heat-sensitive biologics. The 3L model is available in −60 °C or −80 °C versions and handles larger sample volumes.
Can I add a manifold to dry flask samples?
Yes. An optional external manifold accessory is available for drying round-bottom flasks and vials without shelf trays.
Does the Pioneer 3L come with a vacuum pump?
The unit is supplied with a matched 2XZ-2 (2 L/s) rotary vane vacuum pump. Oil-free pump upgrades are available on request.
What is the minimum sample volume suitable for the Pioneer 3L?
The Pioneer 3L can dry as little as a few millilitres. It is frequently used for drying individual vials and microtubes using the optional manifold accessory.
