FAQ
What applications fit the UltraChill –86°C Upright?
Ideal for long-term storage of vaccines, enzymes, cell lines, tissues, reagents, and reference standards in research, clinical, and biobank settings.
How does UltraChill maintain temperature uniformity?
Direct-cooling with optimized airflow and high-performance insulation (PURF + VIP) minimizes gradients and speeds recovery after door openings.
What alarms and protections are included?
High/low temp, door ajar, power failure with 72-hour backup, sensor error, abnormal voltage, condenser clean, thermostat failure, and low battery notifications.
Is the UltraChill 25.7 Cu Ft –86°C Freezer energy efficient?
Yes. The cascade system with HC refrigerants and VIP insulation reduces power draw while maintaining stability and rapid pull-down.
Installation & delivery tips
Measure access paths: confirm doorway and corridor widths vs. crate size. Provide dedicated circuit: 110/120 V, 60 Hz. Allow clearance for ventilation and service.

Frequently asked questions
How much will it hold?+
504 two-inch boxes, approximately 50,400 vials at 2 ml, across a rack layout of 18 (5×4) plus 6 (6×4). Interior dimensions are 38 × 22 × 53 in — note the wide, shallow chamber shape, which suits a wide bay but needs more frontage than the 20.8 cu ft model.
How does it compare with the 20.8 and 29.6 cu ft models in the same series?+
All three share the cascade refrigeration, HC refrigerants, PURF+VIP insulation, 7 in touchscreen and 72-hour alarm backup. Capacity steps 588 L / 400 boxes, 728 L / 504 boxes, 838 L / 600 boxes, and draw steps 690 W, 710 W, 720 W. Choose on box count and on the floor width you have: exteriors are 35 in, 41 in and 46 in wide respectively, all at 78.5 in high.
What refrigeration and insulation does it use?+
A cascade system with two SECOP compressors on HC refrigerants (R290 and R170), direct cooling, manual defrost, PTC sensing, and PURF plus VIP insulation with a SUS304 interior and two foamed SUS304 inner doors. Hydrocarbon refrigerants are flammable, so review the siting against your institution's requirements.
What power supply and consumption should I budget for?+
110 V / 120 V 60 Hz, 710 W, 8.48 A, with a stated consumption of 14.98 kWh per 24 hours and 53 dB of noise. Permissible ambient is 10 to 32 °C, and cabinet performance at the top of that range is worth confirming if the freezer will sit in an unconditioned equipment room.
What space and access do I need for delivery?+
Exterior 41 × 38 × 78.5 in, net weight 660 lb, shipping weight 815 lb, packaged 52 × 38 × 86 in. The 52 in packaged width is the constraint to check against corridor turns and doorway openings.
What certification does the product data record?+
The product data states the cabinet is UL listed. If your installation or accreditation record requires documented evidence, ask for the listing file number and the certificate rather than relying on the listing text alone.
