Ultralow temperature (ULT) freezers produce very cold temperatures of up to -86º C. Now, with the technologies of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), ULT freezers can be even cooler.

A typical day in your lab may involve walking near a freezer, or a room full of them. These, especially ultralow temperature (ULT) freezers, are crucial pieces of equipment in any biological lab. They allow specimens to be preserved for as long as several years without loss of quality and viability.
2 Powerful Things AI Can Do For Your Lab
Artificial intelligence (AI) has gone far since being a staple of science fiction in the 20th century. Now, AI is a science fact, and it is quickly gaining ground. Modern AI can write, paint pictures, and compose music, among other remarkable things.
The typical refrigerator or freezer uses a refrigerant to produce cold temperatures. Refrigerants make use of a cycle of evaporation and condensation to cool the contents inside. Evaporation is an endothermic process, which absorbs heat from the surroundings. The result is a cool refrigerator interior.
Cryopreservation is an excellent way to store cells for a long time. Bacterial cultures kept at -80ºC, for example, can remain viable for more than 5 years. Storing your samples in an ultralow temperature (ULT) freezer is the best way to preserve them for longer-term use.
