4.8 Cu.Ft. -85ºC Ultra Low Chest Freezer (Model LAB11R9)

The Accucold LAB11R9 is a 4.8 cu.ft. (136 L) chest-style ultra-low freezer purpose-built for pharmacy, laboratory, and life-science cold storage — the kind of unit hospitals, reference labs, research facilities, and vaccine-storing pharmacies rely on to keep biological samples, DNA/RNA material, chemicals, select vaccines, antibiotics, and other temperature-critical substances safely below standard freezer range. It holds a stable, adjustable set point anywhere from -50 down to -86°C, controlled by a front-mounted digital microprocessor thermostat with a switchable °C/°F display, so staff can dial in the exact temperature a protocol calls for and monitor it at a glance.

Manufactured exclusively for Accucold by ELCOLD in Denmark, the LAB11R9 is built around 4.5" of extra-thick insulation and more than eight layers of D-shaped cooling pipes lining the interior walls — construction that lets it reach and hold ultra-low temperatures efficiently instead of running the compressor constantly. The lift-up lid uses counterbalanced hinges so it opens and stays open with minimal effort even at this size, and two separate inner lids shield the contents from ambient air every time the outer lid is opened, protecting temperature-sensitive samples and reducing frost buildup. Interior organization comes ready-made with 9 vertical stainless steel box racks (six 10-box and three 5-box) included, so samples are sorted and retrievable from day one rather than piled loose in the chest.

Safety and monitoring are built in: a high/low temperature alarm plus an independent 9V battery-powered alarm keep watching the unit's internal temperature even through a power outage, sounding a warning before a sample loss becomes a compliance problem. A factory-installed keyed lock (2 keys) secures the lid for controlled-substance or restricted-access storage, and four pre-installed casters — including two locking front casters — make it easy to position the freezer exactly where a lab or pharmacy needs it and then lock it in place. At roughly 49 dB, it's quiet enough for a shared lab or pharmacy workspace rather than a dedicated equipment room.

The LAB11R9 measures 36.25"H x 28.5"W x 28.0"D with a 26.25"H x 20.25"W x 17.5"D interior cavity, weighs about 150 lbs, and runs on standard 115V/60Hz current at 5.3 amps — no special electrical work required for most facilities. It's UL and UL-C listed, UL-S listed to ANSI/NSF-7, 100% CFC-free, and CARB-compliant, and it's backed by a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty plus an additional 5-year warranty on the hermetically sealed compressor. For any pharmacy, hospital lab, blood bank, or research facility that needs dependable sub -50°C storage in a compact chest footprint, the Accucold LAB11R9 delivers hospital-grade reliability with the organization and safety features that make daily use straightforward.
