The BINDER UF V series ultralow temperature freezer: expert in the reliable long-term storage of biological samples

In pharmaceutical technology and biotechnology, valuable medical and biological samples and materials often have to be preserved at extremely low temperatures for anything from several weeks to a few years. The cooling system used in an application of this nature must be absolutely safe and reliable. Something going wrong may not only lead to the loss of valuable samples, expensive reagents, or entire research results but also significant amounts of time and money. Reputations can also suffer. The UF V series ultralow temperature freezer by BINDER, the world's largest specialist manufacturer of simulation chambers for scientific and industrial laboratories, has been designed for the safe long-term storage of samples at -86 °C. Its multi-stage safety concept can be relied upon to deliver an extremely high standard of safety. Personalized access control with RFID key card protects the samples against unauthorized access. Laboratory staff must be accredited before they are permitted to open the ultralow temperature freezer. The integrated log memory seamlessly documents every opening.

Moreover, BINDER's ultralow temperature freezer could not be more user-friendly. Thanks to an automatic door mechanism, the door can be opened easily at the touch of a button. The unit can be integrated into the security and alarm infrastructure with ease. Operating data can be analyzed and logged via the optional data logger with USB connection. The air filter, which can be replaced without the need for tools, and the defrosting kit for easy defrosting, make maintenance and cleaning incredibly straightforward. The ultralow temperature freezer also delivers outstanding environmental efficiency. The large vacuum heat-insulating panels reduce energy consumption and provide optimum insulation. A two-stage refrigeration cycle can be relied upon to maintain the extreme temperatures. The separate interior zones also ensure improved cold stabilization when the door is open. The reliability of the UF V series of ultralow temperature freezers is also reflected in the warranty conditions. In 2015, the previous warranty of two years was extended by a further three years, thus guaranteeing the functionality of the unit for five years. “Our products are designed to offer our customers the highest possible standards in quality,” says managing director Peter M. Binder.
