Product description

Ultra-low temperature -86°C upright freezer with 23 cu ft capacity for stable storage of biological samples.

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.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
