Ultra low temperature (ULT) freezers are essential to any medical facility or lab environment. They play a crucial role in preserving temperature-sensitive biological samples.

Here’s what you need to know before buying a lab freezer:

Ultra-low temperature freezers typically operate within the -60°C to -86°C range. These are used in medical facilities to store biological samples like plasma, blood, enzymes, or organ tissues.

As with any critical piece of lab equipment, lack of maintenance can lead to sub-optimal ULT freezer performance—this is detrimental to the samples stored in the freezer.

inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of precision-engineered solutions for use in manufacturing and testing across a wide range of markets including automotive, defense/aerospace, energy, industrial, semiconductor and telecommunications, announced today its thermal segment subsidiary, inTEST Thermal Solutions, is introducing an all-new brand identity that includes new logos, colors and designs to unify and visually reinforce the synergies between its three core product lines – Temptronic, Sigma Systems and Thermonics.

Vaccine, drug, tissue, serum, and other biological sample preservation requires biopharmaceutical refrigerators with precise temperature and humidity control.

The global biomedical refrigerators and freezers market is predicted to amount to nearly 5 billion USD by 2026.

The reason why the pharma cold chain is a billion-dollar industry is simple: pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are required to deliver high-quality products. For that, they need state-of-the-art cold storage solutions to preserve biological samples and maintain their intended efficacy.
