Platinum Chest Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 3 cu.ft., Manual Defrost Overview
The Platinum Chest Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 3 cu.ft., Manual Defrost (model ULF101CP) is a cascade-refrigeration laboratory freezer that holds samples between -40°C and -85°C inside an 83-liter chest cabinet. Manufactured by Yamato Scientific and sold by LabSupplies.com, an authorized dealer, it arrives with a touch-screen digital controller, audible and visual alarms, remote alarm contacts, USB and Ethernet ports, data acquisition, alarm battery back-up, and a 1/2-inch access port.
Construction centers on a 14-gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel chamber paired with a 16-gauge powder-coated cool-gray steel exterior. Dual hermetic compressors drive the cascade system using CFC-free R-508B and CFC- and HCFC-free R-404A refrigerants. Air-cooled condensing with two heavy-duty fans removes any need for liquid coolant.
Electrical configurations cover 115V, 208V, and 230V at 60 Hz single-phase, plus 220V at 50/60 Hz single-phase. Footprint measures 34.5 × 25.25 × 48 inches at a shipping weight of 500 lbs. Built in the USA and UL Listed, the unit recovers automatically through a timer system after any power interruption.
Key Features
- Touch-screen controller: displays set point and chamber temperature, Hi/Low alarm with email and SMS notification, viewable temperature graph, data logging via USB or FTP, multi-level security, and VNC remote access from a PC or smart device.
- Cascade refrigeration: two hermetic compressors with CFC-free R-508B and CFC- and HCFC-free R-404A refrigerants, reaching set points down to -85°C.
- Air-cooled condenser: two heavy-duty fans dissipate heat with no liquid coolant required.
- Independent alarm system: battery-operated audible and visual signal on mechanical or electrical failure, over- and under-temperature settings, silencing switch, battery test switch, and a relay for remote hook-up.
- Power-failure recovery: automatic timer system restarts the unit once power returns.
- 1/2-inch access port: left-hand porthole with plugs for sensor or probe routing; cabinet holds up to 8 racks across 83 liters.
How to Choose the Right Ultra-Low Freezer
Matching an ultra-low freezer to your lab means weighing sample volume against the temperature you must guarantee and the power your site can deliver. Review these axes .
- Capacity: count the racks and sample boxes you store; this 3 cu.ft. (83 L) chest accepts up to 8 racks, suiting satellite storage and smaller collections.
- Temperature range: confirm your coldest required set point; a -40°C to -85°C range covers most enzyme, tissue, and reagent archiving needs.
- Control type: touch-screen control with data logging, email/SMS alarms, and remote VNC access supports labs that audit cold-chain compliance.
- Voltage: verify site power against the unit's 115V, 208V, 230V (60 Hz) and 220V (50/60 Hz) single-phase options.
- Footprint and access: chest cabinets place samples through a top lid and need clear overhead space; check the 34.5 × 25.25 × 48-inch exterior against your room layout.
- Safety and recovery: battery-backed alarms, remote relay contacts, and automatic power-failure restart protect samples during outages.
