So-Low | -85°C Chest Ultra-Low Temperature Laboratory Freezers | 2–27 Cu. Ft. Cascade Refrigeration & Dual Digital Control
At Alto Med Supply, we offer chest-style ultra-low temperature freezers from So-Low Environmental Equipment Co. designed for dependable storage down to -85°C.
Ideal for laboratory applications, shrink fitting, and ultra-cold product preservation, these chest freezers provide efficient storage in capacities ranging from 2 to 27 cubic feet.
The chest configuration helps maximize usable space while maintaining consistent internal temperatures for sensitive materials.
Manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, So-Low ultra-low temperature freezers are built with heavy-duty materials and decades of engineering expertise.
Each unit utilizes a cascade refrigeration system engineered to deliver stable, uniform cooling across demanding environments.
The exterior features 16-gauge cold-rolled steel, while the interior is constructed from durable 14-gauge galvanized, non-corrosive steel.
Galvanized steel promotes efficient temperature conduction, helping reduce compressor strain for improved performance and longevity.
For precise temperature management, these laboratory freezers include a dual-display digital control system.
A red LED screen shows the actual chamber temperature, while a green LED display indicates the setpoint temperature, allowing users to monitor both readings at a glance.
This added visibility supports accurate temperature control for critical storage requirements.
Every So-Low ultra-low freezer undergoes a comprehensive seven-day performance test to ensure reliable operation, even in warmer ambient conditions.
Units are backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty and supported by a nationwide service network for added peace of mind.
When you purchase through Alto Med Supply, you receive access to trusted ultra-low temperature freezer solutions built for durability, consistency, and professional laboratory use.
