Description
The VWR VWR32086A is a high-performance 17 cubic foot Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) freezer designed for the long-term preservation of critical biological samples at temperatures as low as -86C. This upright model is engineered for reliability in clinical, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories, utilizing a sophisticated cascade refrigeration system to maintain strict temperature uniformity even in high-ambient conditions. Operating on a standard 115V circuit, this unit is accessible for most laboratory settings without requiring specialized high-voltage electrical upgrades.
Technical Performance and Design
-
Temperature Stability: The advanced microprocessor controller maintains a setpoint range from -50C to -86C with rapid recovery times after door openings to protect sample integrity.
-
Insulation and Security: Features high-density, CFC-free foamed-in-place urethane insulation and a quadruple-seal gasket system to minimize frost build-up and maximize thermal efficiency.
-
Monitoring and Alarms: Equipped with a comprehensive digital display and an integrated alarm system that provides audible and visual alerts for power failure, high/low temperature deviations, and door ajar status.
-
Construction: The interior is typically composed of high-quality galvannealed steel with adjustable shelving to accommodate various racking configurations, while the exterior features a durable, scratch-resistant powder coat finish.
