Selecting An Ultralow Freezer Back-up System

Ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers are widely used for high-capacity storage of samples such as genomic material, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, or vaccines which they maintain at or below -80°C. Provided they are well cared for and undergo regular preventative maintenance. They can preserve sample integrity for months or even years, making them a precious asset to any lab working with large quantities of irreplaceable material. To ensure samples in ULT storage remain protected in the event of an unexpected power outage, most end users choose to integrate a ULT backup system. Here, we explain some features and benefits of the available options to help you decide which ULT backup system is right for you.
