American BioTech Supply is an American manufacturer of temperature-controlled laboratory and medical cold storage equipment. It was founded in 1994 as part of Horizon Scientific, Inc., a Summerville, South Carolina supplier of laboratory refrigerators, freezers, and cryogenic equipment for scientific and pharmaceutical markets. The company is headquartered in Summerville, United States. Horizon Scientific, Inc. was acquired by Standex International Corporation (NYSE: SXI) on October 17, 2016, which brought the American BioTech Supply brand under Standex ownership through its Standex Scientific division. The product range covers laboratory refrigerators, laboratory freezers, ultra-low temperature freezers, pharmacy-grade units, flammable and hazardous material storage, and cryogenic freezers and dewars. On Questpair, these units are listed by verified suppliers and distributors.
The core of what this maker produces is refrigeration and freezing defined by temperature range. Laboratory refrigerators and pharmacy-grade units hold the 2 to 8 degree band used for cold chain storage of vaccines, reagents, and biological samples. Freezers extend that downward into the minus 20 to minus 86 degree range, and cryogenic dewars hold liquid nitrogen below that. Each class is matched to a storage task rather than being a general-purpose box, which is why the field a buyer is really choosing within is cold chain and sample preservation rather than any single device type.
This equipment sits close to biotechnology and life sciences work because the samples it holds are the raw material of that work. Ultra-low freezers at minus 86 degrees Celsius store the cell lines, nucleic acid preparations, and purified proteins that cell culture, genomics, and proteomics depend on, and a biobank or a molecular diagnostics laboratory measures its viability in the stability of that temperature. Cryogenic dewars preserve master cell banks for cell culture and biomanufacturing, where a thawed vial has to perform identically years after it was frozen. Pharmacy-grade refrigerators serve the cold chain for vaccines and biologics, holding a narrow 2 to 8 degree band that immunoassay reagents and clinical samples also require.
American BioTech Supply product lines
The notable lines include the Manual Defrost Freezers, the TempLog solid-door laboratory refrigerators with built-in temperature logging, the Standard Flammable Storage Freezers, the ULT freezer range reaching minus 86 degrees Celsius, the Hazardous Location cold storage units, and the Cryogenic Liquid Dewars. The flammable and hazardous location units are a distinct group: they combine cold storage with cabinet construction rated for storing volatile solvents and reactive materials, which general laboratory refrigerators are not built for. The TempLog line adds data logging for applications where a documented temperature history is part of sample integrity. Not every line is present in the listings at any given time, so a buyer looking for a specific series should check it against current stock.
How the American BioTech Supply catalogue breaks down
Across the Questpair catalogue, 316 listings are available from 4 verified suppliers and distributors, operating in 1 country. Of those listings, 99 percent are used. Used cold storage units are listed below the new equivalents of the same models. Prices run from EUR 43 to EUR 18.029. That spread reflects the gap between a small benchtop refrigerator and a large ultra-low freezer, with the catalogue average at EUR 4.388. A warranty is often possible and is arranged in consultation for the specific listing. Where a buyer needs manuals or documentation for a particular model, Questpair can be contacted and specialists respond within an hour, and parts can be sourced via Questpair.
Questpair review of American BioTech Supply
Our take based on listings data and supplier feedback
American BioTech Supply occupies a narrow segment of the laboratory market: it makes cold storage and nothing else. That focus shapes how the catalogue reads. Rather than a scattered range of instruments, the listings cluster around a handful of temperature classes, each defined by the range it holds and the samples it protects. For a buyer, the first benefit of that is legibility. A pharmacy-grade refrigerator, a solid-door laboratory refrigerator, and an ultra-low freezer are not interchangeable, and seeing them grouped under one maker makes the choice between them a matter of matching the stored material to a validated range rather than guessing across unrelated brands.
The temperature range is where the real distinction lies. Pharmacy and laboratory refrigerators sit in the 2 to 8 degree band used for reagents, vaccines, and biological samples that must not freeze. Laboratory freezers cover the minus 20 to minus 30 range. Ultra-low freezers reach minus 86 degrees Celsius, the band required for long-term storage of cell lines, nucleic acid preparations, and protein samples destined for proteomics work. Cryogenic dewars go lower still, holding liquid nitrogen for cell culture stocks and biobanking. A buyer weighing these listings is really weighing a range against an application, and the catalogue lets that comparison happen without leaving the brand.
The second benefit is price, and here the marketplace data is unambiguous. Of the listings available, 99 percent are used. Used cold storage units are listed below the new equivalents of the same models, and the spread across the catalogue is wide. Prices run from EUR 43 to EUR 18.029. That range reflects the gap between a small benchtop refrigerator and a large ultra-low freezer, and the average lands at EUR 4.388. For a laboratory outfitting a cold room or replacing a failed unit, the difference between used and new pricing on this class of equipment is substantial, because the compressors, cabinets, and controllers in these units are built for continuous multi-year operation.
The third point worth weighing is supply concentration. The 316 listings come from 4 verified suppliers and distributors, operating in 1 country. A smaller supplier base is not a drawback on its own, but it does mean the available stock reflects what those sellers hold rather than the full manufacturer range. A buyer looking for a specific product line, such as the manual defrost freezers or the flammable storage freezers, should check availability against the listed stock rather than assume every model is present.
Taken together, the listings suit a buyer who already knows the temperature range the samples need and wants to match that range to a cold storage unit at used pricing. The segment focus that makes the catalogue narrow is the same thing that makes it easy to read: there is no instrument here that is not a refrigerator, a freezer, or a dewar, and every one of them is defined by the band it holds.
**Cold storage built to a validated temperature range**
Every unit on offer here holds a specified operating range, from pharmacy-grade models near 2 to 8 degrees Celsius to ultra-low freezers reaching minus 86 degrees Celsius.
**A used-dominated catalogue priced well under new**
Of the listings available on Questpair, 99 percent are used, which sets prices far below the new equivalents of the same cold storage units.
**One maker, several storage classes in one place**
The listings span laboratory refrigerators, laboratory freezers, ULT freezers, flammable storage units, and cryogenic dewars, so a buyer can compare storage classes from a single manufacturer side by side.
