LAB1000SMF Laboratory Freezer

1000L upright laboratory freezer | 0°C to −20°C | Bluetooth® monitoring | ideal for hospitals, laboratories, and public health facilities

The LAB1000SMF is a 1000-litre upright laboratory freezer designed for hospitals, research institutions, public health facilities, and pharmaceutical organisations requiring high-capacity sub-zero frozen storage. Operating between 0°C and −20°C, it supports the storage of biological samples, reagents, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive materials where consistent frozen conditions are critical.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel inside and out with 50mm CFC-free high-density foam insulation, combining clinical hygiene standards with strong thermal performance. Six adjustable shelves and four fixed sliding drawers provide flexible, organised access across the full 1000-litre internal volume.

Fan-assisted cooling supports an even temperature profile throughout the cabinet, while automatic defrost cycles with ambient-optimised timing operate without manual intervention. Dual solid, self-closing, lockable doors support both cold retention and secure access across the wide upright format.

A digital Bluetooth® controller with LED display provides precise temperature management and enables remote monitoring from connected devices. Three independent alarms, a built-in voltage protector, R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, and B-class energy rating complete a specification designed for high-throughput environments where reliability, compliance, and energy efficiency are key priorities.

Features

  • 1000-litre upright capacity — high-volume frozen storage for laboratories, hospitals, and pharmaceutical facilities
  • 0°C to −20°C operating range — controlled sub-zero storage for biological samples, reagents, vaccines, and pharmaceuticals
  • Bluetooth® digital controller with LED display — remote monitoring and configuration from connected devices
  • Fan-assisted cooling — even temperature distribution throughout the cabinet
  • Automatic ambient-optimised defrost — reduces manual intervention and supports consistent operation
  • 6 adjustable shelves and 4 fixed sliding drawers — flexible, organised access across a large internal volume
  • Dual lockable self-closing doors — secure access control with improved cold retention
  • Three independent alarms — temperature, dirty condenser, and door open alerts
  • Stainless steel interior and exterior — hygienic, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean
  • R290 refrigerant with B-class energy rating — efficient hydrocarbon refrigeration for laboratory use

Safety

The LAB1000SMF is fitted with three independent audible and visual alarms: temperature, dirty condenser, and door open. These provide early warning of excursions, maintenance issues, and access-related temperature risks. Dual lockable doors restrict access to authorised personnel. A built-in voltage protector guards against electrical supply irregularities, while the pre-fitted probe hole supports independent temperature monitoring for compliance records. The optional Bluetooth® controller backup battery maintains monitoring only during power outages and does not power the compressor or full unit.

Temperature Control

Temperature is maintained between 0°C and −20°C by a digital Bluetooth® controller with LED display. Fan-assisted cooling supports even temperature distribution throughout the 1000-litre cabinet. Automatic defrost cycles are optimised for ambient conditions and operate without manual intervention. Remote monitoring and configuration are available from connected devices via the Bluetooth® controller. Maximum ambient operating temperature is listed as 25°C and should be confirmed before publishing.
