VWR 5606 Ultra Low Temperature Freezer – 23 cu ft Upright -86°C Biomedical Storage

The VWR 5606 Ultra Low Temperature Freezer is engineered for reliable -86°C storage of temperature-sensitive biological specimens, reagents, and clinical samples critical to molecular diagnostics, biotechnology, and biopharmaceutical research. This upright freezer features a spacious 23 cu ft (651 L) compartmentalized interior with four sections, each secured by high-impact ABS inner doors that minimize cold air loss and maintain thermal stability during frequent access.

Key technical details include:

• Temperature range: -50°C to -86°C, adjustable in 1°C increments via a microprocessor-controlled LED panel, allowing precise environmental control essential for gene editing and synthetic biology workflows.
• Robust insulation: Five inches of foamed-in-place insulation combined with a stainless steel interior and powder-coated exterior ensures consistent ultra-low temperature performance even with daily use in demanding lab settings.
• Refrigeration system: Two 1 HP compressors with 2545 BTUH capacity each guarantee rapid pull-down times and maintain stable cold storage.
• Safety and monitoring: Audible and visual alarms monitor temperature excursions, power supply issues, probe faults, and low battery conditions, supporting strict sample security protocols in clinical diagnostics and biobanking.
• Dimensions and power: External dimensions of 44x40x78 inches, weighing 800 lbs, operating on 208/230V 60Hz power with a 12 amp draw; requires a dedicated electrical circuit for optimal performance.

This freezer is widely adopted in biotechnology labs for long-term specimen preservation, live-cell imaging sample storage, and critical biomanufacturing processes, where sample integrity is paramount. The multi-compartment design and active monitoring systems make it ideal for environments demanding high sample throughput and reliable storage conditions.

The VWR 5606 comes fully tested for temperature accuracy and alarm functionality, arriving securely packaged to protect hardware integrity. It supports molecular biology researchers, clinical scientists, and biobank managers by providing a stable ultra-low temperature environment essential for molecular cloning workflows and biomedical engineering studies.
