The annual energy usage in a typical U.S. life science laboratory has recently been estimated at 4.54 GJ/m2/year,1 almost three times the energy usage of a medium intensity commercial building (1.79 GJ/m2/year).

Tracing the origins of lab refrigerators and freezers and looking ahead to future advances.

Features MicroSentry™ Scientific control for temperature accuracy and monitoring.

Low-temperature laboratory freezers are cooling boxes that achieve temperatures of about -40° C or lower. Kitchen freezers, by contrast, operate to about -20° C.

Designed to store high value, critical samples, reagents, vaccines, blood and plasma.

Engineered labels are the best choice for use on labware within the laboratory environment.

Screw cap tubes are found in the vast majority of laboratories and are commonly used for the long-term storage and cryopreservation of a plethora of sample types. Effectively maintaining sample integrity in these storage environments is of extreme importance to any researcher, and there are key factors that require consideration.

BioCision's CoolRacks consist of arrays of receiver cavities for tubes rendered in a highly thermo-conductive material.
