Helmer Scientific 5812118-1 i.Series 18 Cu.Ft. Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer with 5 Storage Compartments

Details

The iUF118-GX is a single door, 18 cu.ft., -86?C ultra-low temperature freezer designed and developed to deliver world-class temperature performance for the storage of samples, reagents, controls, tissue, rare blood, and other biological materials.

Powered by OptiCool cooling technology, the iUF118-GX utilizes variable capacity compressors, natural hydrocarbon refrigerants, innovative oil management, and frost control to provide world-class cooling performance, increased energy efficiency and sustainability, and quieter operation compared to traditional ultra-low temperature freezer technology.

Features:

  • OptiCool cooling technology with variable capacity compressors and natural hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants optimizes temperature performance, noise management, and energy management.
  • HC refrigerants support sustainability: reduce heat output, decrease carbon footprint, lower global warming potential grade (GWP), and have no impact on ozone depletion.
  • EPA SNAP-compliant refrigerants and foaming agents.
  • Unique heat barrier system keeps heat out and reduces frost. Includes four levels of containment: fortified outer door with multi-bulb gaskets, insulated and reinforced inner door with dual-blade gaskets, hot gas loop and advanced composite panels in cabinet frame, and premium insulation.
  • Custom cascade refrigeration system designed to provide maximum heat exchange and optimize oil management.
  • Innovative i.C3 information center provides intelligent diagnostic information and temperature data, while providing security features to keep information safe.
  • Guardian Plus access control ensures product integrity.
