Protecting sample integrity is critical to maintaining quality and throughput in today’s lab environment. Many laboratories who upgrade to more modern freezers often see a return on their investment relatively quickly thanks to improved efficiency over previous refrigeration methods. Laboratory freezers are available in a wide assortment of sizes and orientations to ensure compatibility with even the smallest of laboratories.
Modern laboratory freezers are equipped with several quality-of-life improvements such as automated defrost, temperature sensors and alarms, automation and LIMS integration for sample management, as well as modular internal layouts to ensure compatibility with different sample types.
For labs with strict quality management systems one of the most sought-after features of a lab freezer is a customizable monitoring and alarm system. With these systems, users can define allowable temperature ranges outside of which an alarm will sound to alert the user to the deviation. Additionally, many lab freezers automate temperature monitoring to ensure compliance with regulatory bodies and programs.
Deciding which lab freezer to purchase can seem overwhelming with the large number of models available. To narrow down your search, begin by considering the temperature range that will be required for your specific needs. Laboratory freezers are typically available in a few different temperature ranges. A few common temperature ranges to consider are:
