Overview

Engineered for life science professionals, the Blizzard NU-99578J -86°C Ultralow Temperature Freezer offers 20.4 cu. ft. (578 L) of trusted cold storage for critical cell lines, tissues, and research samples. Designed for maximum temperature uniformity and stability, it ensures long-term viability of irreplaceable materials.

A rugged multi-gasket door system minimizes frost, while intuitive electronic controls provide continuous monitoring with audible/visual alarms. In the event of power loss, a battery backup safeguards monitoring and alert functions. Optional CO₂/LN₂ backup further reinforces sample security.

Ideal for cell preservation in biomedical, clinical, and research labs, the NU-99578J delivers robust performance and user-friendly operation with a focus on reliability, precision, and lab efficiency.

Exceptional Temperature Stability and Uniformity

Precision is crucial in the realm of sample preservation. This freezer maintains an ultra-low temperature of -86°C and excels in temperature uniformity across the storage area. With a performance that ensures minimal temperature variation, it is ideal for maintaining the integrity of long-term biological samples. This consistent temperature uniformity is essential in preventing significant impacts on sample quality due to minor fluctuations.

Advanced Cooling Technology

This ultralow freezer incorporates state-of-the-art cooling systems utilizing environmentally friendly hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants. These HC refrigerants enhance performance and significantly improves energy efficiency. This contributes to both energy savings and a reduced environmental footprint, offering laboratories a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution.

Robust Design with Enhanced Insulation Features

Designed for durability and efficiency, the freezer's rugged construction is complemented by a multi-gasket system and insulated doors, specifically engineered to minimize frost buildup. This design ensures reliable long-term performance in demanding lab environments while maintaining consistent operation and protecting sample integrity.

User-Friendly Interface

Ease of operation is vital, and this freezer is equipped with an intuitive interface for simple temperature adjustments and monitoring. The straightforward controls and clear display support complex storage needs effortlessly.

Enhanced Safety Features

Equipped with advanced safety mechanisms, this freezer includes an Electronic Control Center that provides internal temperature monitoring and alarm systems with visible and audible notifications. In addition, a battery backup system powers the control center and alarms during any interruptions in the primary power source. For added security, an optional Backup CO2/LN2 Cooling system can be hooked up to maintain internal storage temperatures during power outages, ensuring the utmost protection for your valuable samples.
