The Haier DW-25L262 is an upright -25°C biomedical laboratory freezer with 262 L (9.3 cu ft) of storage, designed for the everyday -20°C-class needs of clinical and research labs — enzymes, reagents, controls and routine specimens that must stay reliably frozen but do not require ultra-low temperatures. Microprocessor control with a 0.1°C-resolution LCD, hydrocarbon refrigeration and a quiet 34 dB(A) operation make it an easy plug-in-and-go freezer on a standard 115V/60Hz outlet.

Application Profile
The DW-25L262 covers the large middle ground of laboratory cold storage: samples that need dependable frozen storage warmer than -80°C. Its microprocessor controller displays temperature to 0.1°C and drives the full biomedical alarm package — high/low temperature, power failure, door ajar, sensor error and high ambient — with a standard remote-alarm interface, so a routine freezer is monitored as carefully as a critical one. The hydrocarbon refrigerant and LBA-foam insulation give it a low global-warming footprint, and an optimized system holds the cabinet to a ±3°C uniformity across the -10°C to -25°C range.
Interior organization is worth confirming at order time. The manufacturer's spec table lists the DW-25L262 with seven plastic drawers for organized specimen storage; the Legacy Lab listing describes a fixed-shelf configuration. Because that detail affects how you load the cabinet, we recommend confirming the shipped internal layout — drawers versus shelves — with your Legacy Lab specialist before purchase. A 25 mm left-side porthole accepts an independent monitoring probe.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature does the DW-25L262 reach? It operates from -10°C to -25°C with a cooling performance of -25°C — a biomedical (not ultra-low) freezer for -20°C-class storage.
Does it run on a standard outlet? Yes. It is specified at 115V/60Hz and draws just 135 W, so it plugs into standard lab power.
How is the interior organized — shelves or drawers? The manufacturer spec table lists seven plastic drawers. The Legacy Lab listing references a shelf configuration, so please confirm the shipped internal layout with your specialist before ordering.
How loud is it? Very quiet for a freezer — 34 dB(A) — suitable for occupied lab spaces.
Is it monitored and alarmed? Yes: high/low temperature, power failure, door ajar, sensor error and high-ambient alarms, plus a standard remote-alarm interface and optional USB/RS485.
Ordering & Configuration
The DW-25L262 is a capital purchase. Add it to a quote and a Legacy Lab Supplies specialist will confirm the shipped interior configuration, delivery details and warranty registration. Lead time is quoted per configuration; contact us for current availability.
Choose the DW-25L262 for reliable, quiet -25°C storage on standard power when ultra-low temperatures are not required. If you need -30°C or blood-bank drawer storage, step up to the DW-30L818BP; for -80°C archival storage, move to Haier's DW-86L ULT line.
