Platinum Chest Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 2 cu.ft., Manual Defrost Overview
The Platinum Chest Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 2 cu.ft., Manual Defrost (model ULF001CP) is a laboratory ultra-low freezer holding 56 L of cold storage across a -40°C to -85°C range. Yamato Scientific engineered this chest-style unit for secure sample preservation, and LabSupplies.com, authorized dealer, ships it directly from USA inventory.
A touch-screen digital controller manages set point and chamber temperature while logging data for download via USB or FTP. Cascade refrigeration with two hermetic compressors and CFC-free R-508B and R-404A refrigerants drives the pull-down. Air-cooled condensers with two heavy-duty fans need no liquid coolant, and a 1/2" access port supports probes and cabling.
Construction pairs a 14-gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel chamber with a 16-gauge powder-coated cool gray exterior. Power inputs cover 115V, 208V, and 230V at 60 Hz, plus 220V at 50/60 Hz, single-phase. The cabinet measures 31 × 31 × 48 in, weighs 335 lbs, is UL Listed, and is made in USA.
Key Features
- Touch-screen control: displays set point and chamber temperature, with viewable temperature graph, data logging, multi-level security, and VNC remote access via PC or smart devices.
- Cascade refrigeration: two hermetic compressors with CFC- and HCFC-free R-508B and R-404A refrigerants reach the -40°C to -85°C range.
- Alarm system: battery-operated audible and visual alarm signals mechanical or electrical failure, with over- and under-temperature settings, silencing switch, and battery test switch.
- Remote monitoring: Hi/Low alarm with email and SMS notification, plus alarm-relay and power-failure dry contacts for remote hook-up.
- Power-failure recovery: an automatic timer system restarts the unit after a power interruption.
- Air-cooled condenser: two heavy-duty fans cool the system, eliminating any liquid coolant requirement.
How to Choose the Right Ultra-Low Freezer
Matching a freezer to your workflow means weighing storage volume, target temperature, control sophistication, and site power against your lab's physical constraints. Review these axes .
- Capacity: this unit holds 56 L (2 cu.ft.) and accepts 6 racks; confirm your sample throughput and rack format fit the interior footprint.
- Temperature range: the -40°C to -85°C span covers most ultra-low storage; verify your samples require this depth rather than a -20°C or -40°C class unit.
- Control type: touch-screen digital control with data logging and remote access suits labs needing audit trails and SMS or email alerts.
- Voltage: inputs span 115V, 208V, 230V at 60 Hz and 220V at 50/60 Hz single-phase, so match the order to your available circuit.
- Footprint: the 31 × 31 × 48 in chest cabinet and 335 lb weight determine floor space and access; chest styles open from the top.
- Safety and backup: battery-backed alarms, dry contacts, and optional CO₂ or LN₂ back-up protect samples during faults.
