The Eppendorf CryoCube F440 series of ULT freezers (also known as ultra-low temperature freezer/-80 °C freezer) is based on a strong compressor for fast recovery to -80 °C after opening. As this class of freezer is often used as real lab freezer, multiple openings per day are normal – a dynamic and strong cooling system is mandatory for fast recovery to -80 °C after every freezer access: Provide your valuable samples a safe and cold location. The freezer minimizes operating costs by low energy consumption per day while providing superior protection for your critical samples. A combined insulation based on vacuum insulation panels and polyurethane foam enables extremely low energy consumption during long-term storage for the CryoCube F440h.
How can I choose the right ULT freezer in a 400 – 500 L/300 – 350 freezer box scale for my lab? Where do I need to pay attention to get a reliable -80 °C freezer?
The Eppendorf CryoCube F440 series offers a 5-compartment lay-out and 5 insulated inner doors for easy sample access and safe sample storage at -80 °C. The walls are 130 mm thick based on foam and vacuum insulation panels (for the “h” version).
The ULT freezer has a volume of 440 L (15.5 cubic feet) and a temperature range from -50 °C to -86 °C. The CryoCube F440 series is based on two different freezer models:
CryoCube F440n:
• 130 mm wall (polyurethane insulation)
• "Green" hydrocarbon-based cooling liquids (R290/ R170)
• Air-cooling
CryoCube F440h:
• 130 mm wall (polyurethane insulation and vacuum insulation panels)
• "Green" hydrocarbon-based cooling liquids (R290/ R170)
• Air-cooling
