Laboratory freezers provide indispensable storage space for everything from bulk reagents to delicate tissue samples. Lab freezers can be chest format or upright; low profile versions can fit into space spacing areas like under or on top of laboratory work benches. Temperature range varies and choice depends on application. Standard freezers are used for general storage; 80 degrees Celsius or lower are used for high-value samples. Look for features such as adjustable shelves, LED displays, programmable thermostats, temperature monitor systems, and power failure alarms. Extended warranties and preventative maintenance plans are a plus for capital equipment.
