A guide to medical freezers

Posted by AldoMoore on March 26th, 2015

The importance of protecting medical samples in laboratories cannot be denied. They are high-priority materials that require constant surveillance and care. In a laboratory, there are many kinds of medical samples that require cold storage. However, there is no single solution to your cooling needs.

In order to gain a working understanding of medical freezers, it is necessary to acknowledge that different kinds of freezers serve different needs. It is not just a matter of purchasing the biggest or the most expensive model. Since medical samples are not homogenous in nature, different specimens require specific units. Here's a list of the various freezer models in the market.

Enzyme freezers

Enzymes are compromised if stored in units that have auto-defrost. Since this particular auto-defrost feature is beneficial to other medical samples, enzymes require to be stored in freezers that can be manually defrosted.

Plasma freezers

 Blood samples are stored in plasma freezers. In order to preserve the integrity of the specimens, plasma should be stored in specially programmed plasma freezers. They are designed to remove heat as soon as possible, restoring the sample to a more desirable temperature.

Explosion proof

For laboratories that are located in unsafe locations, protecting medical samples is an even more difficult task. In such an environment, medical freezers that are explosion proof are required. These are large units that offer extensive storage space. The freezers are designed to absorb the trigger of any explosion within the unit or outside it. Use of these models ensures a safe working environment.

Flammable materials

 Laboratory samples can be volatile and dangerous. Some of these materials are flammable as well. In order to preserve them and any other specimen that may be compromised by them, there are special cooling units for this purpose. Freezers for flammable samples have insulated cabinets made of foam. They are specifically manufactured without any CFC too.

Laboratory freezers 

Large storage and cooling units such as these are a feat in engineering. They are equipped with highly sophisticated control systems for constant monitoring of your samples. An alarm system is also a unique feature of this kind of freezer.

During the purchase of medical freezer, it is also worth checking out the following: the upright freezer, the under counter storage unit, chest freezers with the opening at the top and ultra sensitive coolers.

While it may seem that the freezer you have is capable of meeting all your needs, you can always get more out of it by fitting it up with a selection of accessories for medical freezers. The market is strewn with special attachments and fittings that allow you to use the freezer in a more efficient and effective manner. Any company that sells medical freezers, like Cooler Store will also provide accessories such as output cables, steel shelves, canisters for storing red cell bags, storage bins for plasma, racks for test tubes, detachable shelves, etc. You also have the option to install an additional freezing system for the door of your unit.
