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.
