Low-temperature freezers −60 °C
Vestfrost VT and Evermed LCSDF chest freezers operate from −40 to −60°C. Net capacity is 71–476 L for VT and 120–460 L for LCSDF. Compare each model’s capacity, dimensions, controls and supplied equipment. Storage conditions must match the material documentation or approved protocol.
Applications for −60°C storage
Freezers in this category can be used for reagents, control samples and other temperature-sensitive materials when this range is specified by the manufacturer’s instructions or an internal storage protocol. The final set point should be selected from documented storage requirements rather than from the general name of the material.
The range includes upright and chest formats in several capacities. A compact unit is practical for a limited sample load and a small room. A larger chamber provides more working capacity for regular loading and future growth.
Evermed LCSDF model comparison
| Model | Gross / net capacity, L | Dimensions W×D×H, mm |
|---|---|---|
| Evermed LCSDF 120 | 125 / 120 | 730 × 730 × 925 |
| Evermed LCSDF 220 | 235 / 220 | 1060 × 730 × 925 |
| Evermed LCSDF 320 | 340 / 320 | 1310 × 730 × 925 |
| Evermed LCSDF 390 | 410 / 390 | 1510 × 730 × 925 |
| Evermed LCSDF 460 | 480 / 460 | 1710 × 730 × 925 |
LCSDF models use MINI/LED controls, static cooling and audible/visual alarms. Baskets, castors and IQ/OQ documentation are agreed separately. Compare the supplied equipment for each Vestfrost VT and Evermed LCSDF model.
How to select a −60°C freezer
- Operating range. Confirm that the required set point is inside the specified range of the exact model.
- Usable capacity. Calculate the current load and a sensible reserve, allowing for baskets, shelves or racks.
- Format. An upright cabinet supports organised access, while a chest freezer can suit archive-style storage.
- Monitoring. Define alarm, temperature logging, external monitoring and backup requirements before ordering.
- Installation. Check external dimensions, door access, ventilation clearances and the available power supply.
When to consider −86°C
If the protocol calls for ultra-low temperature or long-term biobank storage, see the dedicated −86°C freezer category. Use the −60°C versus −86°C comparison to review the difference, or return to all medical and laboratory freezers.
Delivery and qualification
For accurate selection, provide the target temperature, material type, required capacity and monitoring specification. Delivery can be coordinated with refrigeration equipment qualification when required.
What to compare before ordering
| Criterion | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Storage conditions | Material requirements, permitted deviations and measurement conditions |
| Actual load | Usable volume, containers, shelves or baskets and reserve capacity |
| Monitoring | Alarms, logger, data export and independent sensor |
| Installation | Dimensions, ventilation clearances, room temperature and power |
Questions before selection and procurement
Is the temperature in the category name enough for selection?
No. Compare the specific model range with the documented storage requirements of each material. Storage duration is defined by the material documentation, not by the refrigerator or freezer name.
How should required capacity be assessed?
Count the actual containers and reserve stock, then check shelf or basket arrangements. Total volume, usable volume and package capacity are different measures.
What should be agreed for temperature monitoring?
Alarm functions, independent measurement, record format and the deviation response procedure. Include temperature mapping and qualification separately where required.
What is needed to compare quotations?
A technical specification and an equivalent equipment list for each option. Specify quantity, installation or use location, compatible accessories and documentation requirements. This supports comparison of the complete cost of the required solution.
Configuration and documentation
Record the exact model, version, standard equipment and optional items in the quotation. Request the manual and specification with the conditions under which performance figures are determined. Agree procurement documentation, availability, delivery, warranty and service work for the specific supply.
