Thermo Scientific™ TDE60086FV-ULTS Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer
Brief DescriptionThe Thermo Scientific™ TDE Series (Model TDE60086FV-ULTS) is a vertical ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezer designed for the safe and reliable storage of biological specimens at temperatures down to −86°C. With a storage capacity of approximately 810 L and excellent temperature stability, the system represents a key component of the biobank infrastructure. The freezer is primarily used for medium- and long-term specimen storage and serves as both a primary and backup storage solution alongside liquid nitrogen cryopreservation systems.
Specifications
