Scientemp 45-3.1 Low Temperature Chest Freezer
The Scientemp 45-3.1 provides specialized, high-integrity low-temperature storage with a 3.1 cu. ft. capacity, specifically engineered for critical research and medical applications requiring temperatures down to -45°C. Additionally, proudly Manufactured in the USA, this compact chest freezer offers a robust solution for facilities that need more volume than a personal freezer but have limited floor space.
Furthermore, its industrial-grade construction and precision digital controls make it ideal for the stable preservation of blood plasma, high-value enzymes, and sensitive biological specimens.
Primary Applications for the Scientemp 45-3.1 Chest Freezer
The Scientemp 45-3.1 is a high-performance cooling solution found in specialized facilities requiring localized, deep sub-zero performance:
-
Localized Biobanking: Perfect for keeping cell cultures, stem cells, and genomic materials organized and immediately accessible at the lab workstation.
-
Specialized Enzyme & Reagent Preservation: Provides a secure environment for biologicals requiring temperatures significantly colder than standard -20°C lab freezers.
-
Clinical Pharmacy Storage: Ideal for hospitals and pharmacies managing batches of vaccines or pharmaceuticals requiring strict -40°C to -45°C stability.
-
Quality Control Archiving: Trusted for the secure, documented archiving of diagnostic materials or QC samples in a uniform thermal environment.
