Reliability at its core:
- Manufactured excellence: built to the highest standards at our ISO 13485:2016 facilities
- Proven durability: 10k+ hours of intensive lab and field runtime testing to help ensure long-term reliability
- Proven quality: each unit undergoes rigorous end-of-line testing for quality control
- Complete transparency: shipped with factory documentation and a certification of calibration*
- Peace of mind: backed by our 12-year warranty** for long-term confidence
Built to perform, designed to protect:
- Enhanced performance with universal V-Drive technology: adapts to user activity to help maintain peak performance and protect what matters most—your samples.
- Stable temperatures: less than 4°C variation helps keep samples safe anywhere in the cabinet
- Fast recovery: industry-leading 15-minute door recovery helps minimize temperature fluctuations and downtime
- Rapid cooling, faster setup: reaches -80°C in under 5 hours—41% faster than previous models
- Cost effective: uses 33% less energy than previous models , helping reduce costs and environmental impact
- Quick sample access with active pressure relief: innovative pressure relief technology enables re-entry in just 30 seconds so you can retrieve samples as frequently as needed, helping minimize disruptions
- Maximum protection & compact footprint: advanced vacuum insulation and environmentally friendly 0 GWP, water-blown foam insulation safeguard samples while providing a compact footprint
Greener by design
- Less hazardous: uses non-hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants and foam insulation which has a 0 GWP and Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and is water-blown, helping reduce chemical emissions and outgassing
- Less waste: contains up to 70% recycled materials, with 90% of waste diverted from landfills at our zero-waste facility***†
- More energy efficient: ENERGY STAR® certified†, helping reduce lab energy costs and environmental footprint
- Responsibly packaged: uses non-hydrofluorocarbon (non-HFC) refrigerants with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and foam insulation, with 0 GWP and Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP), that is water-blown, helping reduce chemical emissions and outgassing
- Extended life: offers a 12-year warranty, longer than any comparable product on the market
Enhanced experience, optimized for ease
- Lab-ready convenience: universal voltage, multiple size options, and whisper-quiet operation for easy installation and compatibility
- Reliable storage and organization: ergonomic handle helps ensure an airtight seal to prevent temperature fluctuations, while adjustable racking maximizes storage efficiency
- Enhanced security and monitoring: 7 in. UI helps streamline operations, optional HID access enhances security, built-in power and outputs enable real-time monitoring and diagnostics, and an optional lightbar allows instant unit status visibility
- Easy frost management: 7-point gasket design with an adjustable perimeter heater helps minimize frost build up for easier maintenance
- Seamless integration: built-in ports for LN2, CO2, and monitoring probes helps ensure compatibility with your lab setup
