Haier -86C Under Counter ULT Freezer, 115V/60Hz
Quote
The Haier DW-86L100J –86°C Under Counter ULT Freezer is a compact, energy-efficient ultra-low temperature freezer designed for laboratories, pharmacies, blood banks, and research facilities that require reliable –86°C sample storage in a space-saving form factor. With a 100 L (3.5 cu. ft.) capacity and a height of just 810 mm (32 in.), this under counter ULT freezer fits beneath standard laboratory benchtops or on countertop surfaces, providing convenient point-of-use access to reagents, biological samples, enzymes, and other temperature-sensitive materials without occupying valuable floor space. Available through ARES Scientific from Haier Biomedical, the DW-86L100J delivers laboratory-grade ultra-cold storage performance in one of the most compact footprints on the market.
Operating across an adjustable temperature range of –40°C to –86°C, this ultra-low freezer uses HC refrigerant and direct cooling to reach target setpoints quickly while consuming only 5.5 kW per 24 hours — making it one of the most energy-efficient –80°C class freezers available for benchtop or undercounter installation. A microprocessor-controlled thermostat with LED display (0.1°C resolution) provides precise temperature monitoring, while a comprehensive alarm system — including high/low temperature, power failure, sensor error, door ajar, low battery, and high ambient temperature alerts — protects stored samples around the clock. The battery backup alarm operates continuously for more than 24 hours during a power outage, and standard RS485 and USB interfaces enable data logging and connectivity with facility environmental monitoring systems.
The Haier DW-86L100J features two inner compartments, each with its own insulated inner door, to minimize warm-air ingress and improve temperature recovery after door openings — a critical consideration for ultra-cold sample preservation workflows. The unit is UL certified and includes casters, adjustable feet, a porthole for external temperature probes, and a remote alarm dry-contact interface. Optional CO₂ and LN₂ backup systems provide additional sample protection for high-value inventories.

Frequently Asked Questions – Haier DW-86L100J –86°C Under Counter ULT Freezer
What is an under counter ULT freezer used for?
An under counter ULT freezer provides ultra-low temperature storage (typically –40°C to –86°C) in a compact form factor that fits beneath a standard laboratory bench or on a countertop. Researchers, pharmacists, and lab managers use these units for point-of-use storage of biological samples, reagents, enzymes, vaccines, and other temperature-sensitive materials that require –80°C class conditions without occupying the floor space of a full-size ULT freezer.
What is the difference between a –80°C freezer and a –86°C freezer?
The terms “–80°C freezer” and “–86°C freezer” are often used interchangeably in the laboratory market. The Haier DW-86L100J reaches a minimum of –86°C, meaning it meets or exceeds the –80°C threshold required by most sample storage protocols. The additional cooling headroom provides a safety margin that helps maintain setpoint temperature during door openings and ambient temperature fluctuations.
Does the Haier DW-86L100J require special electrical connections?
No. The DW-86L100J operates on a standard 120 V / 60 Hz power supply, drawing 6.5 A. It plugs into a standard U.S. laboratory outlet and does not require dedicated high-voltage wiring or three-phase power. The unit includes casters and adjustable feet for flexible placement in any laboratory, pharmacy, or blood bank environment.
What alarms does this under counter ULT freezer include?
The DW-86L100J includes a comprehensive alarm system with high/low temperature, power failure, high/low voltage, sensor error, low battery, high ambient temperature, door ajar, and hot condenser alerts. Alarms are delivered through both audible and visual indicators, and a remote alarm dry-contact interface enables connection to facility monitoring systems. The battery backup alarm operates for more than 24 hours during a power outage.
Can this freezer connect to a building management or environmental monitoring system?
Yes. The DW-86L100J includes standard RS485 and USB interfaces, a remote alarm dry-contact output, and a 5 V power supply port for external monitoring equipment. An optional IoT module is also available for wireless connectivity. These features allow the unit to integrate with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and building management platforms for continuous temperature data logging and alarm notification.
What backup options are available for sample protection?
In addition to the battery-powered alarm system, the DW-86L100J offers optional CO₂ and LN₂ backup systems. These backup options inject CO₂ gas or liquid nitrogen into the cabinet during a compressor failure or extended power outage, maintaining ultra-low temperatures and protecting high-value sample inventories from warming events.
