Extended exposure to ambient air accelerates the death of your ultra low temperature freezers.
Each time the door of your laboratory ULT is opened, warmer air rushes in and begins to thaw your precious tissue, cells and one-of-a-kind samples.
Every minute the door remains open stresses the compressor to work extra hard ejecting that heat, and can take up to an hour before the internal temperature returns to a safe setting.
The busy lab manager cannot plant themselves in front of a bank of ULTs and police the comings and goings of each technician, but they can significantly reduce door opening times with a simple piece of technology that comes standard on more and more Z-SC1 Biomedical ULT freezers.
Built into the touch screen panel on our 19 and 27.5 cubic foot Unicore (single compressor systems), and standard on the "built-for-biorepository" massive 36 cubic foot Tera-Core with dual compressors, is a powerful inventory management system.
The first time a new sample is placed into the ULT for storage, the technician calls up the inventory system and logs in the samples location.
The freezer inventory management system lets the technician give the sample a name as lengthy as needed and to enter the location down to the shelf, rack, and box position on that rack.
All this information can be downloaded to a USB drive and uploaded to an Excel spreadsheet and shared with all laboratory members.
This makes it possible to "Know before you Go" and significantly cuts down on the time the door is left open rummaging for samples.
Find what you need in seconds to lessen the recovery time and reduce strain on the compressor.
To help retrieve samples faster, we strongly recommend outfitting your ULT with a complete set of stainless steel freezer racks.
With over 2000 freezer rack variations to choose from, Stellar Scientific and Z-SC1 have the tools to protect your research!
