Platinum Chest Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 5 cu.ft., Manual Defrost Overview
The Platinum Chest Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 5 cu.ft., Manual Defrost (model ULF201CP) is a cascade-refrigeration laboratory freezer from Yamato Scientific. Sold by LabSupplies.com as an authorized dealer, this chest-style unit holds 142 L (5 cu.ft.) and reaches set points from -40°C to -85°C. A touch-screen controller manages temperature, alarms, and data logging.
Chamber walls use 14-gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel, while the exterior is 16-gauge steel finished in powder-coated cool gray. Two hermetic compressors form a cascade refrigeration system charged with CFC-free R-508B and HCFC-free R-404A. Air-cooled condensing with two heavy-duty fans removes heat, so no liquid coolant is required. Manual defrost keeps the design straightforward.
Power options cover 115V, 208V, and 230V at 60 Hz, plus 220V at 50/60 Hz, all single-phase. Exterior dimensions measure 40.5" × 31" × 47", and the unit weighs 525 lbs. Built in the USA, this freezer is UL Listed. Interior space accepts up to 15 racks for high-density sample storage.
