How to select a -86°C freezer to bring down the energy consumption of your lab
13 Oct 2019Due to the increased costs of electricity, regulations, and environmental awareness, more attention is brought to the energy efficiency of laboratory equipment nowadays. In particular, Ultra Low Temperature Freezers (ULTs) can be one of the most energy-intensive pieces of equipment. For instance, an average 25-cubic foot ULT unit uses approximately 20 kWh of energy per day –as much as a small house. What are the key factors to look at when selecting an energy-efficient ultra low freezer?

Refrigerators Freezers and CryogenicsRefrigerators, Freezers & Cryogenics can be used for preservation or experimental purposes. Types of freezers include deep freeze, -80C°C, ultra-low temperature, explosion proof, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers. Freezing is also used in freeze-drying equipment for dehydration processes. Feature to consider in freezers include temperature control and recorders, failure alarms and self-closing mechanisms.ULT FreezerSample StoragePreserving clinical trial samples to the highest standards is a critical component in maximizing the value of present day and future clinical research. Specialized storage and transportation of these tissue, blood and serum samples reduces the risk of them being damaged or lost.
