Product overviewLabotemp Portable Ultra Low Temperature Freezer -86°C ULF-25 is a high-performance Stirling freezer engineered for the safe storage and transportation of temperature-sensitive biological samples, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, reagents, and research materials. Featuring a 25 L storage capacity, an adjustable temperature range from +18°C to -86°C, and ±1°C temperature stability, it delivers dependable ultra-low temperature preservation for laboratories, clinical facilities, pharmaceutical cold chains, and field research. High-performance vacuum insulated panels combined with polyurethane foam insulation minimize heat loss, while the PT100 temperature sensor ensures precise monitoring and stable storage conditions. Designed for maximum flexibility, the ULF-25 operates on both 100–240 V AC and 12/24 V DC power, making it ideal for mobile laboratories, emergency response, and cold chain transportation.
Advanced Stirling cooling technologyThe ULF-25 utilizes a free-piston Stirling freezer system that cools by cyclically compressing and expanding helium gas within a sealed mechanism, eliminating the need for conventional compressor technology. With fewer moving components, Stirling cooling offers lower vibration, quieter operation, greater reliability, and reduced maintenance than traditional compressor-based freezers. The system rapidly reaches -86°C, maintains stable temperatures within ±1°C, and consumes an average of only 75 W during steady operation. The design uses environmentally friendly working gas and includes intelligent temperature monitoring and integrated high/low temperature alarms to support sustainable, long-term ultra-low temperature storage.
