Frequently asked questions
Why three inner doors on a 58-litre cabinet?+
Three foamed SUS304 inner doors mean each retrieval exposes only one section of the chamber to room air. On a small ULT that is used frequently, inner-door subdivision does more for temperature stability than raw insulation thickness, because door openings are the dominant warm-up event.
How much does it hold?+
58 litres (2.0 cu ft), configured as 2 racks in a 6×2 layout taking 24 two-inch boxes — approximately 2,400 vials at 2 ml. Interior dimensions are 13 × 17.8 × 16 in.
What monitoring is included as standard?+
A data logger is standard on this model rather than optional. There is one USB interface, remote alarm access over RS232/485, a 25 mm access port, and a 72-hour alarm battery backup. Alarms cover high and low temperature, power failure, abnormal voltage, sensor error, door ajar, filter screen check, thermostat failure, low battery, condenser clean and high ambient temperature.
What power supply and footprint should I plan for?+
110 V / 120 V 60 Hz, 442 W, 3.18 A, at 50 dB. Exterior is 25 × 30 × 48 in with a net weight of 255 lb and shipping weight of 350 lb; packaged size is 29 × 33 × 55 in. Permissible ambient is 10 to 32 °C.
How does it compare with the undercounter 2 cu ft model?+
Identical capacity and rack configuration, and the same auto-cascade refrigeration. This upright is 48 in tall and 25 in wide with three inner doors; the undercounter version is 29.45 in tall and 35.59 in wide with one inner door. Pick on the space available and on whether you need it to sit under a bench.
What certification does the product data record?+
The product title states the cabinet is UL Listed and the specification block records a CE mark. If your installation record requires documented evidence, ask for the listing file number and the certificate rather than relying on the listing text alone.
