Energy-saving freezers go green

In today’s energy-conscious environment, energy efficiency is a prime concern for equipment manufacturers and users alike, and at New Brunswick it has long been a high priority. New Brunswick’s ultralow-temperature (ULT) freezers, available through Eppendorf, are the most energy-saving in the industry and the company’s new HEF high-efficiency freezer models are the greenest of them all. They consume up to 59% less energy than other units, potentially saving thousands in operating costs over the lifetime of the freezer, and have significantly less carbon impact on the environment.

Ultralow-temperature freezers are almost never turned off and, compared to other laboratory systems, energy requirements can be high in order to maintain the very low temperatures necessary for sample preservation. Energy efficiency is therefore of paramount importance. This new range of HEF freezers raises the standard for minimising energy usage and greenhouse gases, while providing superior sample protection.
