Thermo Scientific Revco CXF Compact Ultra Low Temperature (-86°C) Chest Freezer

The Thermo Scientific Revco CXF is a compact ultra low temperature (ULT) chest freezer designed for precise sample storage between -50°C and -86°C. With a 3 cubic feet (84.9L) capacity and chamber dimensions of 18"x18"x16", it accommodates up to 63 freezer boxes or approximately 6,300 2 mL vials, making it ideal for biotechnology laboratories requiring bioprocessing sample preservation or molecular diagnostics storage in constrained research spaces.

Key technical features include:

• Foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation (5 inches) and an interior foam lid to minimize temperature fluctuations during access, essential for live-cell preservation and synthetic biology applications.
• Stainless steel interior and powder-coated cold-rolled steel exterior ensure robust chemical resistance and durability.
• A front-mounted, microprocessor-based temperature controller with 1°C setpoint adjustment and push-button LED display enables precise temperature regulation critical in bioassay and gene editing workflows.
• Forced-air condenser and two-stage refrigeration system provide stable ultra-low temperatures with optimized energy efficiency.
• Lockable lid and heavy-duty casters facilitate sample security and mobility within laboratories and biomanufacturing environments.

The chest configuration significantly limits cold-air loss compared to upright freezers, making the Revco CXF well suited for back-up storage, overflow capacity, or compact spaces where larger ULT freezers are impractical. It undergoes thorough pre-shipment testing to verify temperature accuracy, alarm functionality, and system operations, ensuring reliability in clinical diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Operating at 120V/60Hz, 11.5A and weighing 380 lbs, this freezer provides a balance of compact footprint (29"x33"x44") with high-performance ultra-low temperature storage critical for cell imaging and cryopreservation studies. The technician-tested unit supports seamless integration into existing cold storage workflows typical in advanced biotechnology research and biomedical engineering laboratories.

This model is a valuable asset for researchers needing dependable -80°C sample storage solutions with space-saving chest-style access, widely used in molecular biology, synthetic biology, and neuroimaging sample management.
