Accucold LAB11R9 4.8 Cu.Ft. -86ºC Ultra Low Temperature Chest Freezer for Laboratory Use

The Accucold LAB11R9 ultra low temperature chest freezer is engineered to deliver precise and reliable storage at temperatures ranging from -50ºC to -86ºC, essential for the secure preservation of biological samples, DNA/RNA specimens, vaccines, and sensitive chemicals in life science and biotechnology laboratories. Manufactured by Elcold in Denmark, this unit features a 4.8 cubic feet (136 L) capacity with extra thick 4.5" insulation and multi-layered D-shaped cooling pipes ensuring maximum thermal efficiency and minimal temperature fluctuation critical for molecular diagnostics and gene editing workflows.

Key technical attributes include:

• Digital microprocessor thermostat with external controls and dual ºC/ºF readout for precise temperature monitoring
• Manual defrost operation complemented by a convenient front-located defrost drain for maintenance ease
• Dual inner lids reducing ambient air exposure during use, preserving sample integrity during rapid access
• Audible high/low temperature and power failure alarms powered by a 9V battery for continuous monitoring in biopharmaceutical production pipelines
• Pre-installed casters with two locking wheels and a factory-installed keyed lock enhance security and mobility within laboratory environments
• Constructed with a durable white steel interior for clear visibility and easy cleaning aligned with ANSI/NSF-7 sanitation standards
• Certified UL and ULC listed for safety and sanitation compliance in US and Canadian clinical diagnostic facilities
• Environmentally conscious design with 100% CFC-free, CARB compliant hydrocarbon-based refrigerant reducing ecological impact

The unit ships with nine stainless steel vertical box racks (six 10-box and three 5-box), facilitating organized storage and quick retrieval of critical research materials. With a sound level of 49 dB, the LAB11R9 operates quietly, fitting seamlessly into controlled lab settings.

The Accucold LAB11R9 chest freezer is widely adopted in biotechnology, synthetic biology research, and biomedical engineering fields, where stable, ultra-low temperature storage is crucial for live-cell imaging preparations, bioprocessing, and long-term vaccine storage. This model supports stringent biomanufacturing environments requiring reliable cold chain maintenance for sensitive reagents and proprietary materials.
