This cascade refrigeration system uses two hermetic compressors and CFC-free R-508B and R-404A refrigerant to reach ultra-low setpoints for long-term biological and reagent storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much storage capacity and how many racks does it hold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterior capacity is 505 L (18 cu.ft.) and the freezer holds up to 20 racks. Four adjustable shelves divide the chamber into five compartments, with interior dimensions of 23 × 26 × 51.25 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat electrical supply does the freezer require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower options include 115V, 208V, and 230V at 60 Hz single-phase, plus 220V at 50\/60 Hz single-phase. Confirm your available circuit before ordering, since site power determines the correct configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is the chamber and cabinet made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chamber is 14-gauge zinc-coated galvanized steel and the exterior is 16-gauge steel finished in powder-coated cool gray. An air-cooled condenser with two heavy-duty fans requires no liquid coolant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a manual or automatic defrost freezer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ULF501U is a manual defrost freezer. Manual defrost helps maintain stable interior temperatures and minimizes warm-up cycles that can affect sensitive stored samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the unit protect samples during a power or equipment failure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA battery-operated alarm emits audible and visual signals on mechanical or electrical failure, with over- and under-temperature settings, a silencing switch, and a battery test switch. A relay supports remote alarm hook-up, and an automatic timer restarts the unit after a power failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Product\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/labsupplies.com\/products\/upright-style-ultra-low-freezers-40-c-to-85-c-18-cu-ft-manual-defrost-ulf-501u#product\",\n      \"name\": \"Yamato ULF501U Upright Style Ultra Low Freezers -40°C To -85°C, 18 cu.ft., Manual Defrost\",\n      \"sku\": \"ULF-501U\",\n      \"mpn\": \"ULF-501U\",\n      \"brand\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Brand\",\n        \"name\": \"Yamato Scientific\"\n      },\n      \"manufacturer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n        \"name\": \"Yamato Scientific\"\n      },\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/labsupplies.com\/products\/upright-style-ultra-low-freezers-40-c-to-85-c-18-cu-ft-manual-defrost-ulf-501u\",\n      \"dateModified\": \"2026-06-28\",\n      \"offers\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Offer\",\n        \"priceCurrency\": \"USD\",\n        \"price\": \"17280.00\",\n        \"availability\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/InStock\",\n        \"url\": \"https:\/\/labsupplies.com\/products\/upright-style-ultra-low-freezers-40-c-to-85-c-18-cu-ft-manual-defrost-ulf-501u\",\n        \"seller\": {\n          \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n          \"name\": \"LabSupplies.com\"\n        }\n      },\n      \"gtin12\": \"797059929948\",\n      \"image\": \"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/scl\/fo\/02jn6wbbh1yhzaqkcyplw\/h\/ULF501U.png?rlkey=wtjo5lqeg5sku9a3506qrpssx\",\n      \"description\": \"ULF501U ultra-low freezer holds 18 cu.ft. with a -40°C to -85°C range and digital dual-display control.
