LabConco Freeze Dryer

๐Ÿ’ง Extraction First mentioned: Ep. 210

A professional laboratory-grade freeze dryer used by high-end hash producers. Unlike consumer models, it offers precise vacuum and shelf temperature control but requires pre-freezing trays and costs around $25,000 plus a $10,000 pump.

Bubbleman explained that LabConco is not a freezer โ€” trays must be pre-frozen at -20 to -30C before insertion. He needed a special freezer with tray slots. Colin Palmer praised it for enabling 6-hour dry times that 'changed our game,' comparing its tunability to a modular synthesizer. Both agreed it is for professionals only. Colin also mentioned Holland Green as another high-end option.
