-85º C capable laboratory chest freezer with set of 6box racks included

The Accucold LAB8R6 is a purpose-built ultra-low chest freezer for labs and pharmacies that need reliable sub-zero storage for vaccines, reagents, and biological specimens without the footprint of a full-size ULT unit. It holds a true operating range down to -86°C, well past standard pharmacy-grade -25°C or even most -40°C units, in a compact 3.08-cubic-foot chest that fits into lab space a full-size upright freezer couldn't. The cabinet ships with a complete set of 6 vertical stainless steel box racks (three 10-box and three 5-box units), so it's ready to organize and load specimens immediately out of the crate.

Insulation is the heart of any ultra-low freezer, and the LAB8R6 uses 4.5-inch-thick cabinet walls built around more than eight layers of D-shaped cooling pipe to hold temperature stability even during ambient temperature swings or brief power interruptions. A hermetically sealed compressor runs on a CARB-compliant, CFC-free hydrocarbon refrigerant, and a digital microprocessor thermostat with front-mounted controls lets staff select Celsius or Fahrenheit readout and monitor the set point at a glance.

Safety and monitoring are built in: a high/low temperature audible alarm flags excursions before they become a loss event, and a 9-volt battery-powered power-out alarm keeps watching even through a facility power failure. Counterbalanced hinges hold the lid open past a 45-degree angle so staff have both hands free while loading racks, and two removable inner protective lids cut down on cold air loss every time the freezer is opened. A factory-installed keyed lock (2 keys included) secures the cabinet, manual defrost is accessed from a front drain, and four casters — two of them locking — make the unit mobile enough to reposition without a hand truck.

The LAB8R6 is UL listed in the U.S., UL-C listed in Canada, and UL-S listed to ANSI/NSF-7 sanitation standards, and it's backed by a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty plus a 5-year warranty on the compressor, with extended 1- and 3-year warranty options available separately. Mediplies is an authorized Accucold dealer, so this freezer ships with full manufacturer warranty support.
