The ULF-201C is a chest-style (horizontal, top-opening) ultra-low freezer in Yamato's STANDARD ULF Series, holding 142 L (5 cu.ft.) of sample volume across a top-opening horizontal chamber rated to -40°C to -85°C / -40°F to -121°F. Cascade refrigeration with two hermetic compressors delivers rapid pull-down and stable ultra-low storage for long-term biological and clinical sample archives, with a battery-backed audible/visual alarm and remote-alarm relay standard. Rated rack capacity: 15 racks.
This is capital cold-storage equipment shipped LTL freight. Pricing, voltage/plug configuration, freight, and lead time are confirmed on quote. Request a quote to proceed.

Application Profile
Per the ULF brochure, primary uses for the ULF Series are clinics, research, small laboratories, hospital rooms, and medical clinics. At 142 L (5 cu.ft.), the ULF-201C is suited to long-term biological sample archiving — cell lines, tissue, serum, plasma, and DNA/RNA libraries — as well as cold-chain and biobank storage at research-core and clinical scale, and vaccine, reagent, and enzyme storage requiring validated ultra-low temperatures. Its top-opening horizontal format minimizes cold-air loss on access, favoring bulk / high-density storage.
Design Architecture
Refrigeration. A cascade refrigeration system with two large hermetic compressors drives rapid pull-down of the product load. The system is designed to hold internal pressure very low, which limits heat build-up, improves running efficiency, and extends compressor life; an energy-saving low stage operates only on demand. Heat is dissipated by an air-cooled condenser with two heavy-duty fans — no liquid coolant required. Refrigerants are CFC-free R-508B and R-404A.
Temperature control & alarms. Digital temperature control with dual display shows set point and chamber temperature. A scan button sets temperature with a tamper-proof lockout. A battery-operated alarm emits audible and visual signals on mechanical or electrical failure, with over/under-temperature settings, an alarm-silence switch, a battery-test switch, and a relay for remote-alarm hook-up.
Construction. Chamber is 14-ga. zinc-coated galvanized steel; exterior is 16-ga. steel with a powder-coated cool-gray finish. Frost and ice build-up along the gasket is minimized by a heater harness beneath the channel. An automatic timer system restarts the unit after a power failure. Interior organization: 15 racks. Made in the USA.
Optional accessories (brochure): chart recorder, CO₂ and LN₂ back-up system, racks, and cold-safety gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range does the ULF-201C reach? -40°C to -85°C / -40°F to -121°F, driven by a cascade refrigeration system with two hermetic compressors for rapid pull-down and stable ultra-low storage.
How much can it store? 142 L (5 cu.ft.) with a rated 15-rack capacity; interior dimensions are 30" x 18" x 16".
Why choose a chest (top-opening) ULT freezer? The horizontal, top-opening format minimizes cold-air loss on access, which favors bulk / high-density long-term storage.
What voltage options are available? 115V / 208V / 230V at 60Hz, single-phase, or 220V at 50/60Hz, single-phase — specified at order.
What refrigerants does it use, and how is heat rejected? CFC-free R-508B and R-404A in a cascade system, with heat dissipated by an air-cooled condenser and two heavy-duty fans — no liquid coolant required.
Ordering & Configuration
The ULF-201C ships as a complete, factory-charged ultra-low freezer with digital control, dual display, and the battery-backed alarm system described above. Racks and back-up systems (CO₂ / LN₂) are available as options per the brochure.
