Overview
The Blizzard NU-99578J -86°C Ultralow Temperature Freezer provides 20.6 cu. ft. (582 L) of validated cold storage engineered for the long-term preservation of cell lines, tissues, vaccines, and high-value research samples. Built for life science, biomedical, and clinical environments, it delivers exceptionally tight temperature uniformity and stable -86°C performance to help ensure the viability of irreplaceable materials.
A durable multi-gasket outer door and insulated inner doors minimize frost intrusion and maintain thermal integrity during routine access. The Electronic Control Center supports continuous temperature monitoring with clear digital readouts, event logs, and audible/visual alarms that alert staff to deviations. During a power interruption, an integrated battery backup preserves monitoring and alarm functions, while optional CO₂ or LN₂ emergency cooling provides added protection for mission-critical samples.
Using energy-efficient hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants, the NU-99578J achieves rapid recovery and reduced energy consumption without sacrificing performance—supporting sustainability goals and lowering operating costs. Its intuitive interface, ergonomic door design, and reliable uptime make it an excellent fit for high-throughput labs that prioritize sample security, workflow efficiency, and compliance with internal quality standards.
Designed for dependable performance in demanding research environments, the Blizzard NU-99578J combines precision, protection, and ease of use to give your team confidence in every storage cycle.
