Scientemp 43-1.7 Low Temperature Chest Freezer
The Scientemp 43-1.7 provides specialized, high-integrity low-temperature storage with a compact 1.7 cu. ft. capacity, specifically engineered for critical research applications requiring temperatures down to -43°C. Furthermore, proudly Manufactured in the USA, this "bench-neighbor" chest freezer is the ideal solution for laboratories with limited space that still require a stable, deep sub-zero environment for high-value samples.
Finally, its industrial-grade construction and precision digital controls ensure that biological specimens, enzymes, and reagents remain protected in a uniform thermal chamber.
Primary Applications for the Scientemp 43-1.7 Chest Freezer
The Scientemp 43-1.7 is a high-performance cooling solution found in specialized facilities requiring localized -43°C performance:
-
Point-of-Use Research Storage: Ideal for keeping cell cultures, stem cells, and genomic materials immediately accessible at the laboratory workstation.
-
Specialized Enzyme & Reagent Preservation: Provides a secure, dedicated environment for high-value biologicals requiring temperatures colder than standard freezers.
-
Small-Volume Vaccine Preservation: Perfect for clinical pharmacies and research labs managing small, sensitive batches of vaccines or pharmaceuticals.
-
Clinical Specimen Archiving: Trusted for the secure, documented archiving of diagnostic materials in restricted spaces.
Scientemp 43-1.7 Robust American Construction
Despite its small footprint, the Scientemp 43-1.7 features the same industrial-strength build as Scientemp’s largest units.
-
Heavy Welded Galvannealed Steel: The exterior is built from heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish for maximum durability.
-
High-Density Thermal Efficiency: Superior urethane foam insulation provides a massive thermal barrier, maximizing temperature retention in a compact frame.
-
Reliable Lid Access: Designed for safe and easy reach-in access, the lid features a magnetic gasket that creates a high-integrity, frost-resistant seal.
-
Security & Access Control: Equipped with a durable chrome-plated handle and a cylinder key lock to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive samples.
Reliable -43°C Temperature Control & Performance
The Scientemp 43-1.7 utilizes advanced refrigeration technology to maintain precision temperatures in its localized chamber.
-
Precision Digital Microprocessor: Offers intuitive temperature management with a digital display accurate to 0.1°C for constant monitoring of critical materials.
-
Rapid Thermal Recovery: Engineered for high-speed cooling and fast recovery times after the lid is opened, protecting samples from thermal shock.
-
Eco-Friendly Refrigeration Mechanics: Features a CFC-free refrigeration system using environmentally compliant refrigerants and energy-efficient components.
-
Ultra-Quiet Performance: Optimized for low-noise operation, making it ideal for placement directly on or near laboratory benches.
Advanced Alarm & Safety Systems
Protecting localized research is a primary mission of the Scientemp 43-1.7, supported by a comprehensive suite of redundant monitoring features.
-
Visual & Audible High/Low Alarms: Immediate notification of any thermal excursions beyond your customized -43°C setpoints.
-
Power Failure Notification: An integrated alarm system alerts staff to power interruptions, while the battery backup keeps the alarm system active during outages.
-
Remote Alarm Integration: Features remote alarm contacts for seamless connection to central laboratory monitoring or building management systems (BMS).
-
Customizable Alarm Delay: Prevents nuisance alerts during routine sample loading by allowing users to adjust the alarm response time.
