Thermo Scientific Heratherm IMH180 Incubator - Thermo Scientific 600V TSX Series Ultra Low Temperatire Freezer

• Storage of biological samples such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and cell lines.
• Preservation of pharmaceutical products and vaccines requiring ultra-low temperatures.
• Material testing and research in scientific and industrial laboratories.
• Long-term archiving of critical samples in biobanks and research institutions.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 300 to 700 litres, often accommodating several hundred cryoboxes.

Temperature range

Units in the TSX series are designed for ultra-low temperatures, typically maintaining -50°C to -86°C.

Power supply

While this specific unit is listed as 600V, TSX series freezers commonly operate on 208-230V, 50/60Hz, single phase power in many laboratory settings. Buyers should verify the exact voltage for this unit.

Footprint

Typically, these upright freezers have a floor footprint of approximately 0.8 to 1.2 square metres, varying with capacity.

Refrigeration system

TSX series freezers commonly utilise a variable speed drive (VSD) refrigeration system for energy efficiency and reduced heat output.

Insulation

Units of this type commonly feature high-performance vacuum insulation panels combined with foamed-in-place polyurethane for thermal stability.
