Why choose the -150°C Cryogenic Freezer
-150°C Cryogenic Freezer from Antech provides a safe, reliable, and cost-effective solution for ultra-low temperature sample preservation without the daily handling requirements associated with liquid nitrogen. Supplied by Apex Scientific throughout South Africa, this advanced Cryogenic Storage Freezer maintains temperatures below the critical glass transition point for many biological specimens, making it ideal for Long-Term Sample Storage, Stem Cell Storage, and Biobank applications.
Reliable cryogenic storage without liquid nitrogen
Unlike traditional liquid nitrogen vessels, the -150°C Cryogenic Freezer achieves cryogenic temperatures using an advanced mechanical refrigeration system. Consequently, laboratories no longer need to refill liquid nitrogen containers or manage the associated safety considerations. This makes the freezer an excellent choice for organisations comparing Cryogenic Freezer vs Liquid Nitrogen Storage, particularly when consistent operation, easier accessibility, and lower maintenance are priorities. The system is well suited to research laboratories, clinical facilities, pharmaceutical companies, universities, and biobanks requiring dependable cryogenic preservation.
High-performance refrigeration technology
The -150°C Cryogenic Freezer incorporates an innovative two-compressor cascade refrigeration system that delivers stable cooling while reducing energy consumption, operating noise, and pull-down time. Premium SECOP compressors and German EBM fans contribute to dependable long-term performance, while environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerants eliminate the use of CFC and HCFC refrigerants. High-density polyurethane insulation further improves thermal efficiency, helping laboratories reduce energy consumption without compromising storage performance.
Designed for laboratory efficiency
Daily operation is straightforward thanks to the ergonomic cabinet design and intuitive touchscreen controller. A stainless steel interior resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning, while insulated inner doors reduce frost formation and improve temperature stability. The large colour display provides clear chamber temperature visibility, graphical temperature trends, and freezer status at a glance. Users can also export temperature records through the integrated USB port, while password protection prevents unauthorised changes to critical settings. Remote alarm contacts, backup battery switching, and optional cloud monitoring further enhance operational confidence.
Protect valuable biological samples
The -150°C Cryogenic Freezer has been developed for laboratories that require dependable Long-Term Sample Storage of high-value biological materials. It is particularly suitable for Stem Cell Storage, cell lines, tissue samples, microorganisms, DNA, RNA, plasma, serum, and other temperature-sensitive biological specimens. As a dedicated Biobank solution, it provides a stable cryogenic environment that supports sample integrity throughout extended storage periods.
Comprehensive safety features
Protecting valuable research materials requires more than precise temperature control. Therefore, the -150°C Cryogenic Freezer incorporates multiple audible and visual alarms for high temperature, low temperature, power failure, and sensor failure. A secure door lock prevents unauthorised access, while an access port allows independent temperature validation using external probes. Laboratories requiring additional redundancy can also specify optional CO₂ or liquid nitrogen backup systems to provide extra protection during unexpected power interruptions.
