Platinum Chest Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 17 cu.ft., Manual Defrost Overview
The Platinum Chest Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 17 cu.ft., Manual Defrost (model ULF601CP) is a chest-style ultra-low laboratory freezer from Yamato Scientific. Holding 480 liters across 36 racks, it maintains chamber temperatures from -40°C to -85°C. LabSupplies.com supplies this unit as an authorized dealer. A touch-screen controller, audible and visual alarms, and battery-backed monitoring come standard.
Construction pairs a 14-gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel chamber with a 16-gauge steel exterior finished in powder-coated cool gray. Cascade refrigeration uses two hermetic compressors and CFC-free R-508B and R-404A refrigerants. Air-cooled condensing with two heavy-duty fans removes the need for liquid coolant. A 1/2-inch access port sits on the left cabinet wall with plugs.
Power options span 115V, 208V, and 230V at 60 Hz single-phase, plus 220V at 50/60 Hz. Footprint measures 81.25 by 33.5 by 48.5 inches, and the freezer ships at 975 lbs. Manufactured in the USA, this unit carries UL Listed certification. Automatic power-failure recovery restarts operation after an outage.
Key Features
- Touch-screen controller: displays set point and chamber temperature, with multi-level security and a viewable temperature graph.
- Alarm system: battery-operated audible and visual signals on mechanical or electrical failure, plus over- and under-temperature settings, alarm silencing, and battery test switches.
- Remote notification: Hi/Low alarms send email and SMS alerts, with alarm-relay and power-failure dry contacts for remote hook-up.
- Data acquisition: data logging downloadable via USB or FTP, supported by USB and Ethernet ports.
- VNC remote access: monitor and control the freezer from a PC or smart device.
- Cascade refrigeration: two hermetic compressors with CFC- and HCFC-free refrigerants reach -85°C without liquid coolant.
How to Choose the Right Ultra-Low Freezer
Selecting an ultra-low freezer comes down to matching storage volume, temperature class, and site infrastructure to your sample workload. Weigh these axes before specifying a unit.
- Capacity: the 17 cu.ft. (480 L) chamber holds 36 racks, so confirm rack count and tube format against your sample inventory.
- Temperature range: a -40°C to -85°C range suits long-term storage of cell lines, tissue, and reagents requiring deep-cold conditions.
- Control type: touch-screen control with data logging and remote alerts matters for labs needing audit trails and unattended monitoring.
- Voltage: verify your circuit against the 115V, 208V, 230V, or 220V options to match available site power.
- Footprint: chest-style cabinets need overhead clearance for top-loading; confirm the 81.25 × 33.5 × 48.5 inch envelope fits your floor plan.
- Safety and continuity: battery back-up, automatic power-failure recovery, and optional CO₂/LN₂ back-up protect samples during outages.
