Precision Cooling from –90 °C: Store Your Samples with Confidence
Binder ultra low temperature freezers are built to meet the exacting standards of modern laboratories. Designed for consistent storage at temperatures as low as –90 °C, these freezers protect the integrity of sensitive samples such as vaccines, DNA/RNA, enzymes, tissues, and reagents.
The UF V range uses advanced cascade compressor technology and vacuum-insulated panels to ensure exceptional thermal stability and fast recovery after door openings. With capacities ranging from 300 L to over 700 L, these units offer flexible options to meet the needs of both small research teams and large institutions. Their energy efficiency, low noise operation, and GLP-compliant data logging make them a dependable choice for every lab environment.
Why is energy consumption important for ULT Freezers?
Did you know that ultra low temperature freezers are the second-largest energy consumers in a typical laboratory? According to research by the Center for Energy Efficient Laboratories (CEEL), ULT freezers rank among the most energy-intensive devices in lab environments.
Their energy consumption—especially at a –80 °C setpoint—typically ranges between 7.7 and 17 kWh per day, depending on the ambient room temperature and the freezer’s efficiency. To put that in context, this is equivalent to the daily electricity use of 0.8 to 1.8 average households.
This significant energy demand makes it essential to evaluate long-term operating costs when selecting a ULT freezer—not just the initial purchase price. Models that are Energy Star certified offer proven energy efficiency and lower environmental impact.
Binder UF V ultra low temperature freezers are recognized as some of the most energy-efficient units on the market, with industry-leading low energy consumption at –80 °C. If you’re comparing brands, it’s worth calculating the energy savings over several years—these can have a major impact on your lab’s total cost of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ultra low temperature freezer?
An ultra low temperature freezer (ULT freezer) is a specialized freezer designed to store sensitive samples at temperatures typically between –40 °C and –90 °C. They are essential in life science, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratories.
What types of samples are stored in ULT freezers?
ULT freezers are used to store biological samples such as DNA, RNA, proteins, cell cultures, blood, plasma, enzymes, vaccines, and microbiological agents.
Why is temperature stability important in a ULT freezer?
Consistent ultra low temperatures are critical to maintaining the integrity of sensitive samples. Even minor fluctuations can degrade materials and affect research outcomes.
What makes Binder ULT freezers energy efficient?
Binder ULT freezers use vacuum-insulated panels and environmentally friendly refrigerants combined with advanced cascade compressor systems to reduce energy consumption while maintaining stable temperatures.
How do I choose the right capacity for my laboratory?
Select the size based on your current sample volume and anticipated growth. Binder offers models from 350 L to over 700 L to suit varying lab needs. Data on the cryobox capacity can be found on the product pages under technical data
Are Binder ULT freezers GLP-compliant?
Yes. All Binder UF V models come equipped with data logging, alarm systems, and access ports to support Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards.
How loud are these ULT freezers?
Binder ULT freezers operate at low noise levels (around 47 dB[A]), making them suitable for installation in workspaces without disrupting lab routines.
Can Binder ULT freezers be integrated with remote monitoring?
Yes. The integrated Ethernet interface and data logging options allow for external monitoring and connection to lab management systems.
