Why you should use an Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer 

The Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) freezer has become an essential part of modern medicine. It is designed to maintain temperatures typically ranging between -60°C and -90°C, as per the requirements of the CDC. 

They are designed to store sensitive medical articles such as drugs, blood enzymes, biological materials, plasma and lab samples, which are highly perishable substances. These substances can only be maintained without damage in extremely low temperatures. Recently, they were also being used worldwide for storage of COVID19 Vaccines.

Apart from the safe storage of vital medical components, ULT freezers also offer additional benefits, such as the ones mentioned below:

Improved Storage Life of Medical Components

ULT freezers are designed with innovative technology that allows you to store medical components items at very low temperatures. These units use advanced refrigeration technology to keep the storage area at a constant temperature. 

In case of power failure, inclusion of a back-up battery ensures that the stored medical components would continue to be safely stored until the power is restored.

ULT’s alarm systems are designed to alert users about threats like drastic temperature fluctuations,

power failure, system failure or even if the door to the unit is open. 

Increases Energy Efficiency

ULT freezers also allow you to save energy costs. They use less electricity than traditional freezers because they maintain a constant temperature. Most ULT’s include fast cooling technology which maintains the desired temperature even if the door to the unit is opened frequently. This puts lesser load on the unit in terms of power consumption.
