What is the typical lifespan of a used laboratory freezer?

With proper maintenance, laboratory freezers can have a service life of 10-15 years or more. The 'Direct Reuse' approach for this unit supports extended operational life.

Does this freezer require any special installation?

Installation typically involves positioning on a level surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit, and connecting to a standard electrical outlet. No special plumbing is usually required.

What maintenance is typically needed for a laboratory freezer?

Routine maintenance commonly includes periodic defrosting, cleaning of interior and exterior surfaces, and ensuring the condenser coils are free from dust to maintain efficiency. Calibration checks may also be performed.

Is this unit suitable for ultra-low temperature storage?

No, the RLVF1514 model is a standard laboratory freezer, typically operating down to -30°C. Ultra-low temperature storage (-80°C or below) requires specialised ULT freezers.

What should I consider regarding the 'As-Is' sale condition?

An 'As-Is' sale means the unit is sold in its current state, with the seller verifying power-on and physical integrity. Buyers should have in-house technical expertise or an existing service agreement for any required analytical validation or calibration.
