Product overviewLabotemp Portable Cryogenic Freezer CRF-203 is a compact 2 L ultra-low temperature freezer engineered for laboratory, clinical and pharmaceutical use. The unit provides an adjustable temperature range from +18°C to -120°C with target stability of ±1°C, offering reliable cryogenic storage for biological specimens, DNA/RNA, cell cultures, enzymes, vaccines and other high-value temperature-sensitive materials. Dual-power compatibility (AC 100–240 V and DC 12–24 V) enables bench-top, mobile or cold-chain transport applications.
Features- Free-piston Stirling cooling engine delivering compressor-free, low-vibration ultra-low temperature performance.
- Rapid pull-down to target temperatures down to -120°C for time-sensitive sample processing.
- Compact 2 L internal volume suitable for small-batch and high-value sample storage.
- Direct cooling architecture for fast and uniform temperature distribution.
- Integrated PT100 (RTD) temperature sensor and control with alarm setpoint and lockable lid for sample protection and traceability.
- Operates with natural helium refrigerant (He) for environmentally friendly operation.
- Low acoustic profile (<55 dB) and reduced maintenance due to fewer moving parts.
- High-performance polyurethane foam insulation to minimize thermal loss during operation and transport.
- Supports AC (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz) and DC (12–24 V) for laboratory and mobile cold-chain use.
Applications- Cryogenic preservation of clinical and research specimens requiring ultra-low temperatures.
- Biotechnology and molecular biology: storage of DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes and cell lines.
- Pharmaceutical R&D and stability testing for biologics and temperature-sensitive formulations.
- Clinical diagnostic laboratories for secure sample custody and transport.
- Vaccine storage and mobile immunization units requiring reliable ULT conditions.
- Research institutes, instrument cooling and specialized low-temperature testing.
- Cold-chain transport of high-value, temperature-sensitive materials.
