Understanding Freezers - Ultra-Low Temperature -80°C
A laboratory Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) Freezer is a specialised device designed to store biological samples, chemicals, and other sensitive materials at extremely low temperatures, typically ranging from -40°C to -86°C (-40°F to -123°F). These freezers are essential in research and clinical laboratories for preserving samples like DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and vaccines, which require stable, ultra-cold environments to maintain their integrity over extended periods. The ULT freezer minimizes temperature fluctuations, reducing the risk of sample degradation, and often includes advanced features like alarms, temperature monitoring, and backup systems to ensure the reliability of stored materials.
