Laboratory Freezers are essential for preserving volatile chemicals and biological samples
What is the purpose of a laboratory freezer?
Biological reagents are impacted by any temperature changes and therefore Laboratory freezers do not include auto defrost capability.They should contain a large amount of storage and maintain a certain temperature
Kinds of Laboratory Freezers:
1. Standard Laboratory freezer(low-temperature)
A standard laboratory freezer reaches up to minus 20 degrees Celsius. Its purpose is to store items like enzymes because they need to be stored in a very accurate range.
2. Ultra Low-Temperature Freezers:
These Ultra Low-Temperature Freezers can reach a range of up to minus 80 degrees Celsius. The storage is designed for a few days to a few months. And include many accessory shelves.
3.
Portable Laboratory Freezer-
Portable freezer suitable for special things that need to be stored like vaccines and medicines. It is very useful in transmitting Covid-19 vaccines
Points to consider when buying Laboratory Freezers
- Storage size:
First of all make sure how much space you have in the lab. Based on this choose a suitable freezer. If you have a small space, adjust a freezer to fit the dimensions of the place. If you have a large storage space, it is highly recommended that you purchase an Ultra Low-Temperature Freezer
- Temperature:
The desired temperature should be maintained in the middle of the operating range of the freezer. If the temperature must remain constant, avoid using a freezer with an auto-defrost feature. One of the best options for accurate temperature control is a forced air unit.
Other factors to look for include the characteristics that are required, variety of shelving layouts, the requirement for a temperature monitor, status alarm, etc.
