Application

–80°C freezer

Protocol Overview

The freezer sections are separated by two big outer doors and 4 inner doors. The compartmentalization allows easy access to one section without compromising the other sections' temperature.

Tips

Make sure to clean the ice that forms around the door occasionally to allow easy access and closing of the doors.

Features Summary

The double doors of this freezer makes it extremely easy to use. The doors are steady and the temperature is constant. If it drops below a set increment, then the freezer will alarm and notify us of anything.
