Elcold LAB8 Ultra Low Temperature Chest Freezer -86ºC 3.08 cu.ft. Capacity

The Elcold LAB8 is a precision-engineered ultra low temperature chest freezer designed for critical cold storage applications in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and clinical research laboratories. Manufactured in Denmark for Accucold, this freezer provides a 3.08 cu.ft. (87 L) storage capacity with robust, static manual defrost operation optimized for maintaining -86ºC to -50ºC temperature ranges.

Key technical features include:

• 4 ½ inch thick insulation with more than 8 layers of D-shaped cooling pipes for enhanced thermal efficiency and stable cryogenic storage of DNA/RNA samples, biological specimens, vaccines, and antibiotics.
• Dual removable inner lids to minimize temperature fluctuations when accessing stored materials, critical for bioprocessing workflows requiring stringent temperature integrity.
• Digital microprocessor thermostat offering precise external controls with high/low temperature alarms and selectable °C/°F display, ensuring reliable monitoring in molecular biology and synthetic biology laboratories.
• Audible 9V battery-powered power failure alarm mounted at the rear safeguards against unexpected temperature deviations during power outages, essential for long-term biomanufacturing sample preservation.
• Solid white steel interior, counterbalanced lid hinges, and an exterior factory-installed keyed lock ensure security and durability in lab environments.
• Mobility facilitated by a set of four casters (two locking), aiding ease of positioning in cleanrooms or biosafety laboratories.
• Certified for USA and Canada with UL, ULC, and ANSI/NSF-7 safety and sanitation standards, ensuring compliance in regulated molecular diagnostics and clinical settings.
• Environmentally responsible with 100% CFC-free design and CARB-compliant hydrocarbon refrigerant, aligning with sustainable practices in biomedical engineering facilities.

This chest freezer is widely adopted in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and laboratory cold storage for maintaining sample integrity during critical gene editing and synthetic biology research workflows. The optional factory-installed NIST calibrated wireless temperature monitoring device (DLPWULT) upgrade further supports proactive environmental control.

The Elcold LAB8 delivers reliable ultra-low temperature storage specifically engineered to meet the stringent demands of life science research, biotechnology sample preservation, and clinical diagnostics.
