High-performance temperature regulation for the storage of sensitive samples
Biological samples, pharmaceuticals, and other research materials are very sensitive to temperature. Proper temperature regulation is thus important for their storage.
PHCbi developed the world’s first -152°C ultra-low temperature freezer in 1991 in response to a growing demand for cryopreservation solutions following medical and scientific advances, such as the increased use of cryopreserved oocytes in IVF and stem cells in transplants. Since then, PHCbi has continually invested in the ongoing development of cryogenic freezers, introducing improved insulation, better refrigeration technology and alarm systems, and a bigger capacity. The latest Cryogenic MDF-C2156VAN and MDF -1156 ultra-low temperature freezers offer unparalleled safety, reliability and uniform temperatures thanks to the application of over 20 years of specialist expertise.
From special biological samples to precious drug substances, the Cryogenic Freezer makes them available and stored while they are kept in storage for the duration. The uniformity of temperature suppresses degradation that could otherwise lead to defective research results, product failure, or slowed clinical trials.

Benefits of our Cryogenic freezing solutions
We recognize how critical it is for ULT freezers to maintain specific temperatures with high accuracy for the protection of biosamples. Our Cryo freezers -150°C employ advanced technology that ensures a high precision temperature environment at all times. They are designed for fast temperature recovery.
Our Cryogenic -150°C ULT Freezers meet rigorous standards and comply with all key certifications For many years, liquid nitrogen was used for cryogenic freezing. While liquid nitrogen systems can be used as a back-up option with our cryo freezers, they have been designed to provide appropriate cooling mechanically. This provides a safer and more convenient alternative to liquid nitrogen tanks.
PHCbi was the first company in the world to introduce vacuum insulation panels to ULT Freezers. Our patented VIP vacuum insulation is a high-efficiency design that provides outstanding insulation and yields more interior storage volume in a conventional freezer footprint. Overall, our Cryo Freezers have a small footprint and have also been designed for low noise.
There is more than one back-up option for operation of the Freezers. These different options utilize liquid nitrogen. All our Cryo Freezers feature highly effective user-interfaces, including doors, monitoring systems, and alarms, and clear and specific user protocols.
Storage consistency for precious samples
The Cryogenic Freezer is outfitted with the latest technology for maintaining even and stable temperatures within the storage chamber. Having a high-stage cascade condenser and low-stage tube-on-sheet evaporator, the freezer achieves even cooling throughout, with no chance of temperature fluctuation that can destroy sample integrity.
This reliable cooling system maintains your samples in the perfect state, with no unexpected variation in temperature, even when the freezer is constantly open.
High-performance insulation precision cooling
VIP Plus vacuum insulation panels of the Cryogenic Freezer offer optimal energy efficiency at the highest storage volume. The 'panels' create cold internal temperatures via heat exchange reduction, thereby keeping the freezer more efficient than ordinary freezers.
Advanced insulation technology not only maintains your valuable products at the correct temperature, but also minimizes the use of energy, translating to significant cost savings in the long term.
Low operating cost with energy-saving technology
The advanced design of the freezer, featuring VIP Plus insulation panels and a highly efficient cooling process, lowers energy consumption significantly. This design makes it possible for laboratories to have precise temperature control without the risk of higher utility bills.
With its cost-saving design, laboratories can store their valuable biological samples, drugs, and research material at its ideal temperature at reduced expenditure. The Cryogenic Freezer allows your laboratory to accomplish more with less by offering a solution that not only minimizes its carbon footprint but is also cost saving.
Reduced likelihood of sample breakdown and loss
Through maintaining consistent temperatures with quality insulation and cooling systems, the Cryogenic Freezer reduces the risk of sample loss or contamination. This ensures maximum assurance in the validity and integrity of research results, clinical trials, and biobank processes.
Through precise temperature control, your samples remain stable and viable and are protected from expensive inconsistencies due to deviation that would otherwise lead to the destruction of your samples or rendering results invalid.
Trusted monitoring and safety features for peace of mind
The Cryogenic Freezer is equipped with a variety of built-in monitoring and safety features to always ensure the perfect storage conditions of your samples. These include high temperature alarms, low temperature alarms, power failure alarms, door status alarms, and filter check alarms. These safeguarding measures provide peace of mind, knowing that any abnormality will be immediately signaled.
Greater safety with internal alarms
The internal alarms also enhance the safety record of the Cryogenic Freezer. The alarms detect any deviation from normal conditions, such as temperature drift or power outages, for you to take immediate action and prevent sample loss. Therefore, by taking immediate action on these warnings, laboratories are able to avert the disastrous result of defective sample storage and revisit their research schedule.
Space-saving design with high storage capacity
The Cryogenic Freezer has abundant storage space with a small footprint, well-suited for short-space laboratories requiring plenty of storage. The total (231 L) capacity will store 150 boxes or 15 racks of fiberboard boxes.
Abundant storage for growing sample inventories
This great capacity is ideal for laboratories that want to accumulate sample collections or archive diverse material. The versatility of storage in the Cryogenic Freezer is well suited for today and tomorrow, with ample space as your research grows and evolves.
Quiet operation for noise-sensitive areas
Most research institutions and laboratories require quiet, disturbance-free environments to provide concentration and effectiveness. Low noise operation of just 51 dB(A) in the Cryogenic Freezer provides silent working for it to be installed in noise-sensitive areas without interfering with laboratory operations.
Low noise levels to provide comfortable laboratory conditions
The silent functionality of the Cryogenic Freezer creates a more comfortable workplace environment, particularly in labs where the background noise must be as minimal as possible to help keep one focused. Its whisper-quiet operation will guarantee that your laboratory's usual functioning is not interrupted, with a tranquil and effective working environment.
