Why you should raise the setpoint for ULT freezers from –80°C to –70°C
3 Dec 2024Your ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers help store valuable samples, however in the process, these freezers consume high amounts of energy and lead to unsustainable energy efficiency. Therefore, Thermo Fisher Scientific are paving the way for the movement of increasing the temperature of your ULT freezer from –80°C to –70°C. Learn how you can safely perform this to maintain your samples whilst reducing your carbon footprint.
