How to select a -80 °C freezer for my lab?
Still, the freezer is the core of your sample storage system:
Eppendorf offers different lines of -80 °C lab freezers to meet a variety of needs. Depending on the approach, there are different questions to answer before you select your Ultra-Low-Temperature freezer, also known as ULT freezer to store your freezer boxes and your valuable samples:
- Do you need an upright freezer or a chest freezer to store your freezer boxes?
- Do you want a foam-insulated freezer wall enforced by vacuum insulation panels or is foam sufficient?
- Which footprint in the lab is sufficient and/ or acceptable?
- When choosing an upright freezer, do you need a 3- or 5-compartment instrument?
- Do you need a future-proof freezer with green cooling liquids as R290/ R170?
- Do you want to connect your ULT freezer?
As your ULT freezer is a longterm investment, a careful planning and validation is recommended.We want to provide you with high performance, sample safety, and convenience.
It’s 2 a.m. in the morning & and the phone rings...
»There is an alarm in your lab, you‘d better come over…«
Due to the 50,000 valuable samples in your freezer, you rushed to the lab. Finally, the temperature was still ok, false alarm but you were done for the day. Just imagine, you get an alarm notification of VisioNize by email about your freezer, and in the next step, you log into the system and check online the temperature graph and the events of your freezer – still being at home. Then, you can still decide if you have to go to the lab or if you still have some hours - or if it is again a false alarm.
Your freezer becomes a smart storage with VisioNize keeping your valuable samples safe. VisioNize offers you the possibility to remotely monitor your freezer. Take advantage of customizable notifications to meet your needs. More peace of mind for "You and Your Lab" with VisioNize.
Important note:
Depending on your country, VisioNize and the VisioNize services may not be available. You can either check the Eppendorf eShop or contact your Eppendorf sales representative for details.
Air-conditioning at the limit? Go for water-cooling
You can improve the conditions and comfort in your lab while saving energy by installing a water-cooled Eppendorf freezer. Many ULT freezers use the air in the laboratory to extract heat energy from the freezer’s heat exchanger. Another option is to use a water-cooled ULT freezer connected to a facility’s recirculating water system. A constant stream of water removes the heat from the heat exchanger, rather than the ambient air in the lab.
- Reduce air conditioning power consumption by letting the water carry away the heat
- The heated cooling water can be reused for other heat demanding systems in the facility
- Minimum flow: 29 L/h
- Inlet pressure: 1 – 10 bar
- Temperature range of water: 7 °C to 25 °C

Annoyed by uncomfortable handling?
Ergonomics is far beyond the »ergonomically designed chair«. Eppendorf started to optimize the laboratory devices regarding ergonomics already in the early 1970s.
In 2003, we started the PhysioCare Concept, focusing on ergonomic liquid handling devices like our pipettes.
Nowadays, the Eppendorf PhysioCare Concept is broaden up to include further laboratory products as a holistic solution to harmonize the workflow in your laboratory with your health and well-being, e.g. for the Eppendorf ULT freezer:
- Intuitive interface for easy handling
- Automatic vent port for easy re-access to samples
- Low noise level for convenient working conditions
- Ergonomic door handle for easy opening and closing
- All cable interfaces are located at one corner for convenient access
Eppendorf offers three lines of freezers to meet a variety of needs:
The Eppendorf High-Efficiency ULT Freezers are one of the best energy-efficient freezers in the market. The vacuum insulation panel technology is the core: an advanced thermal insulation technology that significantly outperforms traditional materials such as closed-cell foams (urethane), foam beads, and fiber blankets. Vacuum insulation removes gasses within the insulating space to reduce heat transfer; as a result, thermal insulation performance far exceeds traditional materials. Other freezers use vacuum insulation panel technology, but none use Vacupor NT®.
The Eppendorf Innova® ULT Freezers combine ultra-efficient insulation panels with foam insulation, generating a maximized storage capacity.
The Eppendorf ULT Freezers have established a reputation for preserving outstanding sample quality while minimizing energy consumption.
