MANUAL

The LAB1000SMF Laboratory Freezer is a high-capacity, hospital-grade storage solution designed for laboratories, medical facilities, research institutions, and public health environments that require reliable low-temperature preservation. With a 1000-litre internal volume and robust stainless steel construction (430-grade exterior and 304-grade interior), the unit offers exceptional durability, hygiene, and ease of cleaning—making it suitable for demanding clinical and laboratory workflows.

Engineered for consistent performance down to –20°C, the LAB1000SMF features a high-efficiency cooling system that rapidly recovers temperature when large quantities of room-temperature material are introduced. A PLC-based controller manages automated defrost cycles and optimises performance across varied ambient conditions, ensuring stable operation in environments up to 32°C with relative humidity up to 75%. Internal LED lighting, adjustable drawers and shelves, lockable self-closing doors, and integrated voltage protection enhance usability and reliability in busy laboratory settings.

With Bluetooth-enabled monitoring and visual/audible alarms for temperature, condenser maintenance, and door status, the freezer supports essential quality-control and compliance requirements across medical, research, veterinary, and public health sectors. Whether used for biological samples, reagents, tissues, pharmaceutical materials, or specialised applications such as placenta storage, the LAB1000SMF provides dependable, high-capacity freezing performance built for African conditions.

Features

  • 1000L high-capacity upright design ideal for hospitals, laboratories, and public health facilities
  • Stainless steel build for hygiene, durability, and easy cleaning

  • PLC-based digital controller with Bluetooth® for accurate monitoring, configuration, and data access
  • Fan-assisted cooling system ensuring uniform temperature distribution throughout the cabinet
  • Automatic defrost with ambient-optimised cycles for consistent, maintenance-friendly operation
  • Dual self-closing, lockable solid doors enhancing security, cold retention, and energy efficiency
  • Built-in voltage protection and full alarm suite (temperature, condenser, door) for reliable performance
  • OPTIONAL ADD-ON: Controller backup battery to ensure controller remains active during power outages

Use Cases

  • Hospitals & Clinics
    • Storage of biological samples, tissues, and diagnostic materials requiring stable freezing conditions
    • Support for maternity, pathology, and surgical departments handling sensitive specimens
    • Backup freezer capacity for hospital pharmacies and emergency supply rooms
