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.
Alarm System
ULT freezers use advanced refrigeration technology to maintain a constant temperature within the storage area. They also include an alarm system that alerts users when the temperature inside the unit reaches dangerous levels.
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.
Design
Most ULT Freezers are built out of sturdy material that makes them durable and sturdy. Many include an additional internal door that aids with temperature and frost control. They may also include adjustable shelves that can aid in storing material as per the user’s requirements. ULT’s also include a safety padlock on the outer door to keep sensitive material safe.
