FAQ
What are –20°C laboratory freezers used for?
–20°C freezers are commonly used as general-purpose laboratory freezers for storing reagents, enzymes, samples, and other temperature-sensitive materials. They are widely used across laboratories, healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical organisations, and industrial environments.
What is the difference between a -20°C laboratory freezer and a general freezer?
Laboratory freezers are designed to maintain stable and uniform temperatures, even with frequent door openings. They typically include features such as temperature alarms, improved insulation, and monitoring capabilities that are important for storing sensitive materials.
What size –20°C freezer should I choose?
Consider both the number of samples and how they will be stored. Organising samples in racks, boxes, or trays improves accessibility but also reduces usable freezer volume. Selecting a slightly larger freezer can help ensure efficient storage while maintaining proper airflow and temperature stability.
Do –20°C laboratory freezers require validation?
In regulated environments, –20°C laboratory freezers may need to undergo validation to confirm they maintain the required storage temperature. Validation can include installation checks and temperature mapping to demonstrate performance and support compliance with audit requirements.
