Important technical features at a glance:

• Temperature range: Adjustable from -90 °C to -40 °C, control range -86 °C to -40 °C with a minimum spatial temperature deviation of ±2.5 K.
• Net capacity: 483 litres (total interior space), divided into four compartments with three flexibly positionable shelves.
• Dimensions (W x H x D): 900 x 1970 x 935 mm, interior width 619 mm, interior height 1300 mm, interior depth 600 mm.
• Energy efficiency: Low energy consumption during typical use: 12.8 kWh/day at a target temperature of -80 °C (at an ambient temperature of 25 °C), refrigerant R-170/R-290 (environmentally friendly and powerful).
• Safety features: Visual and audible multifunctional alarm, potential-free alarm contact for external systems, operating hours counter, door lock with ergonomic lever.
• Noise level: 49 dB(A) - particularly quiet for undisturbed work in the laboratory.
• Robust design: Stainless steel housing inside and out, durable, easy to clean and corrosion-resistant.
• Load capacity: Permissible total payload up to 200 kg, up to 50 kg per compartment.

The special vacuum insulation effectively minimises cold loss and ice formation, while the sophisticated door sealing system increases long-term operational safety.

Certifications and standards

The ultra-low temperature freezer complies with DIN 12880 for temperature stability in laboratory equipment and the IP20 standard according to EN 60529 (protection against solid foreign bodies). This ensures that both technical reliability and laboratory safety meet the highest industrial standards.

Typical applications in laboratories and research

The versatility of the UF V 500 is particularly beneficial in demanding scientific fields. The most important and frequent areas of application include:

• Long-term storage of cell cultures and microbial samples (e.g. bacteria, viruses, yeasts, plasmas)
• Storage of vaccines and biotechnological agents (such as mRNA vaccines, recombinant proteins)
• Storage of human sample materials (including blood plasma, tissue samples, DNA/RNA extracts)
• Archiving of sensitive chemical substances (e.g. enzymes, reference standards, calibration solutions)
• Other applications include use in pathology, toxicology, clinical diagnostics and pharmaceutical depots.

The high temperature stability and sophisticated safety concept offer maximum protection for valuable and critical materials.

FAQs on ultra-low temperature operation

How quickly does the ultra-low temperature freezer reach the target temperature?

The cooling time from +25 °C to -80 °C is only 5 hours (when empty), ensuring quick and efficient commissioning after relocation or maintenance work.

What measures protect the samples in the event of a power failure?

Special thermal insulation ensures that the temperature in the unit rises from -80 °C to -60 °C over a period of around 3 hours - enough time to secure samples or activate emergency power supply.

What are the installation requirements?

For optimum air circulation and safe operation, a distance of 100 mm from the wall at the rear and sides (or 245 mm on the side with the door hinge) must be maintained.

How is an alarm triggered in the event of a malfunction?

The device signals malfunctions both acoustically and visually and can be integrated into on-site alarm systems via a potential-free contact to ensure maximum operational safety.

Can the device be used with different types of samples at the same time?

Yes, thanks to several compartments with variable shelves, different sample categories can be stored separately and securely.

Summary

Innovative refrigeration technology, groundbreaking energy efficiency, high-quality workmanship and a comprehensive safety and alarm system make this model the first choice for professional laboratories with the highest demands on reliability and safe sample storage. The implementation of international standards and certifications underlines the versatility and future-proofing of this ultra-low temperature freezer, which provides optimum support for a wide range of applications in everyday scientific and medical practice.
