The Haier DW-30L698 is a 698 L (24.7 cu ft) upright -30 °C biomedical freezer on a standard 115 V/60 Hz service — a large-capacity mid-temperature freezer for plasma, blood products, reagents, and biological samples that require a -30 °C environment rather than -80 °C. A high-efficiency hydrocarbon (HC) refrigeration system and low-power-optimized design hold the -10 °C to -30 °C range at just 43 dB(A), and an LED microprocessor controller manages temperature and a full alarm suite. It is UL and ENERGY STAR certified, and its 24.7 cu ft cabinet accepts five adjustable wire shelves or optional plastic blood-bag drawers.

Application Profile
The DW-30L698 fits high-volume -30 °C storage in blood banks, transfusion services, and research labs — the temperature band used for fresh-frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, and many reagents and biological materials that don't require ultra-low temperatures. At 24.7 cu ft it consolidates a large inventory into one cabinet, and its interior converts between five adjustable wire shelves (for boxed or bagged samples) and up to 24 optional plastic blood-bag drawers (for organized plasma-unit storage), so the same freezer serves either a general-storage or a blood-product workflow. Running on 115 V simplifies siting. (See cold-chain-sample-storage.)
Three inner doors limit cold-air loss during retrieval, ENERGY STAR certification reflects the low-power refrigeration design (500 W, 43 dB(A)), and the alarm suite covers high/low temperature, power failure, low battery, high-ambient, sensor error, and door-ajar, with a USB interface for temperature records.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range does the Haier DW-30L698 hold? -10 °C to -30 °C, from a high-efficiency hydrocarbon refrigeration system with manual defrost.
How much does it store? 698 L / 24.7 cu ft — a large-format cabinet that accepts five adjustable wire shelves or up to 24 optional plastic blood-bag drawers.
How is the interior configured — shelves or drawers? Standard configuration is five adjustable wire shelves (610 × 655 mm, 40 kg each) behind three inner doors; plastic blood-bag drawers are optional. (Note: the price-list description says "3 shelves"; the brochure specifies five wire shelves — the "3" most likely refers to the three inner doors. Confirm at quotation.)
Does it run on standard power? Yes — 115 V/60 Hz, drawing up to 500 W, at 43 dB(A). It is UL and ENERGY STAR certified.
Is it suitable for blood products? Yes — the -30 °C range and optional blood-bag drawers make it appropriate for fresh-frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate storage.
Ordering & Configuration
quote-based. The DW-30L698 is a capital biomedical freezer sold through a quote. At quote we confirm the 115 V circuit, floor space for the 874 × 930 × 1984 mm cabinet, the shelf-versus-blood-bag-drawer configuration, monitoring accessories, and installation. Warranty terms are confirmed with the quote, and lead time is provided at quotation. Request a quote to configure the DW-30L698 for general or blood-product storage.
Choosing the -30 °C band: the DW-30L698 is the large 24.7 cu ft option for plasma and reagents at -30 °C. Choose the compact DW-25L92 for small -25 °C point-of-use needs, or the DW-40L959BP for -40 °C storage; for -86 °C archival storage see the DW-86L ULT line.
