How can the safety and reliability of a laboratory freezer be improved?

The storage of biological samples is essential in scientific research. For this reason, a reliable and secure drive is required. An ultra-freezer is a special refrigerator that has space at temperatures of approximately -20 degrees Celsius. Ensuring that the material is preserved in excellent quality for long periods of time. To achieve the best security, reliability and optimized storage it is important to know how you can improve the efficiency of your equipment:

  • First of all, it is essential that the installation and maintenance is carried out by specialized personnel to guarantee an optimal operation. This includes cleaning and checking all parts of your computer, as well as regularly updating your devices. In such a way that the procedure certifies that all components, from the door to the engines, work properly, ensuring the stability of the system. It is important that stored products are placed safely to avoid third-party situations.
  • In addition to regular check-ups, consideration should be given to reviewing the power supply. The equipment cannot be exposed to rain or direct sunlight to avoid possible electrical failure. Consideration should be given to installing an overload protector that will ensure that the system is not hampered by typical power fluctuation problems. This will keep all products stored on the device safe.

Procedures for ultra-freezers in a safe environment

  • In a safe laboratory environment, protocols are key to ensuring that materials and samples are stored under appropriate conditions. One of the first precautionary measures is the use of appropriate equipment for specific purposes. Although there are many models available, they all meet quality standards to ensure that products are stored in a pollution-free and safe manner.
  • Ultra-freezers must be properly labeled to indicate the materials and samples stored and the storage conditions. This information should be updated periodically to ensure that it reflects changes (if any) in the stored item typology.
  • It is also recommended to ensure that equipment is kept at ultra low temperatures. This can be achieved by using a temperature monitoring software. This software not only ensures that temperatures remain stable within the desired range, but also provides accurate detection of heat leakage, condensation or moisture.
  • Users in charge of the unit must also strictly adhere to certain security procedures each time they open the computer door. This includes avoiding opening it too wide. Note that exposing the interior of the equipment for long periods may reduce its effectiveness.
  • Users should be careful not to insert and/or remove items directly from the back of the equipment. Instead, the material must enter through a slot located on the front of the door.
  • It is recommended to keep the compartment parameters at the temperature specified by the manufacturer. This is done by ensuring that fundamental thawing is performed regularly, at least once a year. These also help prevent condensation film from forming inside the computer.
