At Alto Med Supply, we offer So-Low Low Temperature Freezers designed for dependable cold storage and heavy-duty laboratory applications down to -40°C.
Available in chest and upright styles with capacities ranging from 3 to 27 cubic feet, these laboratory freezers provide flexible storage options for research facilities, industrial environments, and other controlled settings.
Chest models offer efficient bulk storage, while upright units include adjustable shelving for organized access.
Manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, So-Low freezers are built with high-quality, heavy-duty materials backed by over 50 years of experience.
A hermetic motor compressor refrigeration system delivers reliable temperature performance for critical storage needs.
Optional temperature recording devices are available to support accurate monitoring and documentation.
Engineered for durability, these laboratory freezers feature a 16-gauge cold rolled steel exterior and a 14-gauge galvanized steel interior.
Galvanized steel helps improve temperature transfer efficiency, reducing strain on the compressor for cooler operation and longer equipment life.
Each unit includes a dual display digital temperature control system.
A red LED shows the actual chamber temperature, while a green LED displays the setpoint, allowing users to clearly confirm proper operation at a glance.
Every So-Low freezer undergoes seven days of performance testing to ensure consistent operation, even in warm ambient conditions.
Backed by a 12-month warranty and supported by a nationwide service network, these -40°C low temperature freezers deliver reliable laboratory cold storage you can trust.
