Arctiko is a Danish biomedical and laboratory refrigeration and freezer manufacturer founded in 2001. The company is headquartered in the United Kingdom and maintains offices in Denmark and the United States. It operates under parent company CIMSENSE, part of ICM Holdco III Corp. Arctiko's product range covers ultra-low temperature freezers, cryogenic freezers, biomedical freezers, laboratory refrigerators, blood bank refrigerators, pharmaceutical refrigerators and cold storage rooms. The core of the catalogue is temperature-controlled storage for biological and pharmaceutical material, built around a small number of named product lines. On Questpair, 73 Arctiko units are listed from 7 verified suppliers and distributors.
These freezers and refrigerators serve life sciences work directly. Ultra-low temperature storage at minus eighty degrees is the standard condition for biobanking, for preserving cell lines, and for holding enzymes, nucleic acid samples and other reagents used in molecular biology. A laboratory running genomics or proteomics work relies on ultra-low freezers to keep extracted DNA, RNA and protein samples stable between experiments, and biomedical freezer storage underpins long-term sample archives in clinical research. Blood bank refrigerators hold whole blood and components at the narrow temperature band transfusion medicine requires, and pharmaceutical refrigerators keep vaccines and medications within the tolerances that cold-chain storage demands. This class of equipment also supports cell culture facilities, where reagents and media need reliable cold storage, and molecular diagnostics laboratories, where sample integrity depends on uninterrupted temperature control.
Arctiko ULUF, ULTF and Flexaline product lines
Arctiko's catalogue is organised around a few named series. The ULUF line covers ultra-low temperature upright freezers, the vertical-cabinet format most common in laboratory settings where floor space is limited and samples are accessed frequently. The ULTF line covers ultra-low temperature freezers more broadly, including chest formats. Both are built for the minus eighty degree range used in biobanking and long-term biological sample storage. The Flexaline PRE series covers laboratory refrigerators, and the Flexaline+ series extends that range. Across these lines the unifying feature is controlled, monitored cold storage rather than any single capacity or footprint, so a buyer typically selects by temperature class first and by cabinet size second. On the marketplace the ULUF and ULTF units sit at the higher end of the price range, reflecting the compressor capacity and insulation that ultra-low operation needs, while the Flexaline refrigerators sit lower.

The Questpair catalogue for Arctiko holds 73 listings from 7 verified suppliers and distributors across 4 countries. Prices run from EUR 801 to EUR 13.372. The average listing price is EUR 4.304. 21 percent of the listings are used. The condition detail, capacity and temperature rating sit on each individual listing, which is where a buyer compares a used ULUF against a new one of the same class. Parts can be sourced via Questpair, and a warranty is often possible, arranged in consultation for the specific listing. For manuals or documentation, a buyer can contact Questpair and specialists respond within one hour.

Questpair review of Arctiko
Our take based on listings data and supplier feedback
Arctiko occupies a defined niche: temperature-controlled storage for samples, reagents, blood products and pharmaceuticals. The marketplace inventory reflects that focus rather than spreading across unrelated instrument classes, and the three benefits above hold up when read against the actual listing data.
The breadth of the catalogue is the first point worth examining. With 73 listings on Questpair, the Arctiko range spans several distinct storage classes. Ultra-low temperature freezers, the ULUF and ULTF lines, handle long-term storage of biological material at minus eighty degrees, the standard for biobanking and cell-line preservation. Alongside those sit laboratory refrigerators from the Flexaline series, pharmaceutical refrigerators built to hold tight temperature tolerances for medication storage, and blood bank refrigerators designed around the specific requirements of transfusion medicine. A buyer sourcing cold storage for a molecular biology lab, a hospital pharmacy or a clinical diagnostics facility will find the relevant class represented rather than a single generic freezer type. The 7 verified suppliers and distributors behind these listings mean the inventory is not dependent on one seller's stock.
Price is the second point, and here the data gives a buyer something concrete to work with. Listings range from EUR 801 to EUR 13.372. That spread is wide because the catalogue covers very different equipment: a compact benchtop pharmaceutical refrigerator sits near the bottom, while a large-capacity upright ultra-low freezer with the compressor and insulation needed for minus eighty operation sits near the top. The average listing price is EUR 4.304. A buyer should read the range as a function of capacity and temperature class rather than as a quality gradient. A smaller blood bank refrigerator and a full-size ULUF are not competing products; they answer different storage needs, and the price reflects that difference in build and cooling capacity.
The condition split is the third point. 21 percent of the listings are used. For cold storage equipment this matters more than for many instrument types, because compressor hours and door-seal condition bear directly on how well a unit holds temperature over a long run. A used ULUF at a lower price can be a sound purchase where the compressor history is documented, and the lower-priced used units are listed next to new ones so the comparison is direct. Where a buyer wants to weigh the two, the individual listing carries the condition detail, and warranty is arranged in consultation for that specific listing.
Taken together, the Arctiko inventory on Questpair suits a buyer who already knows which temperature class they need and wants to compare capacity, condition and price within a specialist range. It is less suited to a buyer looking for general laboratory equipment outside cold storage, since the catalogue is deliberately narrow around refrigeration.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I get the manual or documentation for an Arctiko freezer?
Contact Questpair with the specific model you are looking at and specialists respond within an hour. Documentation requests are handled per listing, so having the exact unit in mind helps.
How much does Arctiko equipment cost?
On Questpair, Arctiko prices range from EUR 801 to EUR 13.372, with an average of EUR 4.304. Compact refrigeration sits at the low end and large-capacity ultra-low freezers at the high end.
What is the difference between refurbished and used Arctiko units?
Used units are sold in their existing condition, while refurbished units have been reconditioned before resale. Both are listed below new pricing on Questpair, and the exact condition is stated in each listing.
Is there a warranty on Arctiko freezers?
A warranty is often possible and is arranged in consultation for the specific listing. For a used ultra-low freezer this matters, so check the cover for that unit before committing.
Are Arctiko freezers suitable for clinical and research use?
Yes. The ULUF and ULTF ultra-low temperature freezers store cell lines, nucleic acid extracts and purified proteins for molecular biology and proteomics, while blood bank and pharmaceutical refrigerators serve blood component storage and the medical cold chain.
How long does an Arctiko freezer last?
Lifespan depends on duty cycle, maintenance and how continuously the unit runs, rather than on a fixed figure. Ultra-low temperature freezers running at -86°C around the clock see heavier compressor load than a laboratory refrigerator held near zero.
Can I get parts for Arctiko equipment?
Parts for these systems can be sourced via Questpair. Identify the model and the component you need so the request can be matched to the right supplier.
What are good alternatives to Arctiko?
The alternative depends on which category you need. For ultra-low temperature freezers and biomedical refrigeration, other manufacturers in the same laboratory cold storage space list comparable units, and you can compare them by storage temperature and capacity on Questpair rather than by brand alone.
What is the lead time on an Arctiko order?
Lead time depends on the individual listing and the supplier holding it, since stock and location differ across offers. Contact Questpair with the model you want to confirm availability for that specific unit.
What is the difference between parts and spares for these units?
The terms are used interchangeably for replacement components such as compressors, seals, controllers and shelving. Both can be sourced via Questpair when you specify the model and the part.
Can Arctiko equipment be shipped internationally?
The listings come from verified suppliers and distributors across 4 countries, so cross-border supply is possible. Shipping arrangements depend on the supplier and the destination for each listing.
Which product lines does Arctiko make and how do they differ?
The ULUF line is the upright ultra-low temperature cabinet and the ULTF covers ultra-low temperature freezers more broadly, both built for long-term frozen sample preservation. The Flexaline PRE and Flexaline+ series are laboratory refrigerators for reagents, media and pharmaceutical stock held at refrigerated rather than frozen temperatures.
Which types of Arctiko equipment are listed here and in what condition?
The catalogue covers laboratory freezers, ultra-low temperature freezers, biomedical freezers, laboratory refrigerators, temperature-controlled storage and refrigeration equipment. Across the brand, 21 percent of listings are used and the rest are new, with used and refurbished units priced below new.
Why are some Arctiko listings so much cheaper than others?
The spread from EUR 801 to EUR 13.372 tracks what the unit does. Compact laboratory refrigerators and bench-scale refrigeration sit at the low end, large-capacity ultra-low freezers that hold samples down to -86°C at the high end, and within the same class a used or refurbished unit is listed below a new one.
