Thermo Scientific 88600 Ultra-Low Temperature Upright Laboratory Freezer -86°C, 815L Capacity
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific 88600 Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer is engineered for reliable, long-term storage of sensitive biological samples at temperatures as low as −86°C. Designed for biotechnology and clinical diagnostics laboratories, this upright freezer features an 815L (28.8 cu ft) cabinet volume supporting over 60,000 vials (2 mL) with a high vial-to-footprint ratio of 5.272 vials/sq ft, optimizing lab space utilization.
Key technical specifications include:
- Temperature range: −50°C to −86°C with high temperature stability ensured through brazed plate heat exchangers that enhance heat transfer efficiency while minimizing leak risk.
- Rapid recovery time: Door opening recovery in approximately 33 minutes and warm-up time from −80°C to −50°C within 240 minutes.
- Robust capacity: Supports up to 600 boxes of samples on reinforced stainless steel shelves rated to hold 245 lbs each.
- User interface: Features an intuitive LCD touchscreen for precise temperature control, password protection for settings security, and a 15-year onboard data logger for continuous performance monitoring — critical for compliance in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing environments.
- Energy-efficient operation: Two operating modes, including an energy savings mode that reduces power consumption by 15% without compromising control, and a high-performance mode for stringent temperature requirements in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing workflows.
- Additional features: Four heated gasketed inner doors to prevent frost build-up, earth magnet closures to eliminate external latches and magnets, remote alarm contacts, and rear access ports for auxiliary instrumentation integration.
The Thermo Scientific 88600 freezer is an essential piece of equipment widely adopted in biotechnology, molecular cloning, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines for secure cryogenic storage and sample integrity preservation. It supports advanced research applications such as gene editing, synthetic biology, and clinical sample storage, making it a critical asset in modern laboratories focused on live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis workflows.
