Our cold storage systems integrate advanced temperature control, alarm monitoring, backup power options, and easy-access door systems to safeguard your sensitive research materials. We help you select freezers with optimal footprint, energy efficiency, and lifetime maintenance planning to stay ahead in the demanding life-science space.

Cold Storage & Freezer Types

Standard Freezers (-20 °C to -40 °C)

• Upright and chest freezers suited for sample banks, reagent storage and vivarium feed/heating cool-down.
• Benchtop and under-counter models for supporting labs with limited floor space.
• Alarm and data-logging systems to support institutional audit trails.

Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers (-80 °C and below)

• Vertical ultra-low freezers for critical long-term sample storage, LN2 replacement or backup containment.
• Energy-efficient models using climate-friendly refrigerants and reduced draw.
• Redundancy features including dual compressors, battery backup alarms and remote monitoring.

Walk-In Cold & Freeze Rooms

• Modular walk-in cold storage suites for large-volume cage storage, biobanks or vivarium expansions.
• Custom setpoints: from +4 °C to -80 °C depending on application.
• Integrated lighting, air-curtain doors and backup refrigeration.

Cold Storage FAQ

What temperature range do I need for vivarium operations?

Most vivariums use standard freezers (-20 °C to -40 °C) for bedding, cages and materials. For critical sample storage we recommend ultra-low (-80 °C) units. ARES can help map your workflow to the right set-point.

How do I choose between upright freezer vs chest vs walk-in?

Upright models save floor space, chest units maximize volume per footprint for storage rooms, and walk-ins are best for high-volume cage racks or biobank labs. Consider access, traffic flow, and service clearance.

Can monitoring and alarms be added later?

Yes. Most new models support add-on modules for remote alerts, temperature logging and building management integration. ARES can retroinstall these to upgrade older equipment.

What service considerations should I anticipate?

Ensure regular maintenance: condenser cleaning, gasket replacement, defrost management, compressor checks and filter cleaning. These help preserve cooling performance and reduce lifetime cost.
