The Portable -86 °C Ultralow Freezer by Antech Scientific is a critical solution for laboratories, healthcare providers, and research institutions in South Africa. Available through Apex Scientific, this compact freezer delivers high-performance cryogenic storage in a lightweight and portable format. Whether transporting vaccines, biological samples, or temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, it offers the reliability and protection your work demands.
The touch screen controller provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface for complete operational control and monitoring. Users can easily set the desired temperature, view the current inner cabin and ambient temperatures, and track performance through a real-time temperature graph. The display also shows running time, battery status, and door lock status, ensuring optimal awareness of system conditions. Additional features include access to advanced settings, network connectivity status, and a clearly visible power button for easy operation.
Advanced Cooling Technology
The BioSafe Series uses advanced Stirling cooling technology to deliver precise temperature control from ambient conditions down to -86 °C. This technology eliminates traditional compressor-related wear and tear, offering a longer service life and better energy efficiency. As a result, your sensitive materials remain consistently protected during both transit and storage.
Versatile Power Options for Field Use
This freezer runs on 12–24 V DC, making it ideal for mobile environments such as vehicles, marine vessels, or remote field labs. Additionally, a built-in lithium battery allows temporary operation without an external power source—ensuring sample safety during power interruptions or while transitioning between locations. It also supports 100–240 V AC power input via adapter, offering flexibility in various settings from clinics to research facilities.
User-Friendly Touch Screen Controller
The intuitive touchscreen interface allows easy management and real-time monitoring. Key functions include:
- Set Temperature: Adjust and maintain precise cooling targets.
- Status Monitoring: Track ambient temperature, cabin temperature, and battery charge level.
- Operational Data: Access temperature graphs and runtime logs for audit and analysis purposes.
Applications and Benefits
This ultralow freezer is ideal for field-based clinical trials, vaccination campaigns, forensic science, wildlife conservation, and mobile blood banks.
