Medical freezers-the specific medical equipment

by Aldo Moore San Diego

San Diego, CA – May 2015 Medical freezers are designed for storing medical samples like vaccines, other medical related sample and scientific experimental chemicals. A domestic freezer and a medical freezer may be may appear very similar but they are very differently designed. The foremost difference is in their range of operating temperature. While a freezer for domestic use goes maximum up to about 10 degrees below zero, a medical freezer in a lab may be required to freeze up to temperatures of -85 degrees. Hence, while buying a freezer for laboratory use, specific search has to be made. Some of the tips discussed below may be of help while choosing the right freezer for laboratory use.

There are many tips to buy medical freezers and accessories, some of them are as follows:

1. Configuration based on requirement

There are hundreds of different configurations available for medical freezers. The requirement for a laboratory is definitely more than just keeping a cool temperature. A sample of blood may need some extra precaution like sterilized environment and humidity control while a sample of tissue may need some different range of temperature. Hence, the features should be chosen depending on the type of material to be preserved. Features like moisture control, fresh air circulation, regenerative air filter etc. are must haves in many cases.

2. Safety features

Some samples or chemical compositions may be extremely sensitive to temperature. These might require a temperature sensor with alarm that can alert the operator whenever there is any fault, power failure or change in settings required. Many systems come with a microprocessor controlled temperature unit that automatically maintains the desired temperature. A built in reliable voltage stabilizer is another desirable feature.

3. Size and type

The freezers may be designed as upright units with vertical doors or may be of chest types (similar to ones used for storing ice-creams). The space constraints and allotted location for the freezer in the laboratory should dominate this choice. The convenience of the operator should also be taken into account. For small sized laboratories dealing with small number and size of sample, oversized freezer will take up most of the space which can be otherwise filled with other useful instruments.

4. Temperature stability

The medical freezers product documentation should be thoroughly read before buying any freezer. The range of temperature settings should suffice the requirements. Hence, it is very important that the person who is actually going to operate the laboratory should vet the product. In many freezer designs, the temperature at different areas inside the storage space may vary or there may be different compartments allocated for separate temperate zones. It is extremely important that the freezer is capable of maintaining a stable temperature in spite of voltage fluctuations and is well insulated and protected from the variations in external temperature.

The internet should be used extensively while carrying out a search for such products as the descriptions may contain many unknown technical jargons that might be misleading. The product history and reputation of various manufacturers should also be verified.
