A deep freezer is designed for frozen storage below 0\u00b0C, with the required temperature depending on the application.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Can an ILR be used as a deep freezer?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. An ILR is designed for controlled refrigerated storage and should not be treated as a substitute for equipment designed for frozen storage.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Which is better for vaccine storage: ILR or deep freezer?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on the storage requirements of the specific vaccine. Vaccines requiring +2\u00b0C to +8\u00b0C storage generally require an appropriate vaccine refrigerator such as an ILR, while vaccines or materials requiring frozen storage require suitable freezer equipment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Does an ILR work during a power cut?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ice lining provides thermal reserve that can slow the increase in chamber temperature during a power interruption. Actual hold-over depends on the model, ambient conditions, loading and door-opening frequency.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What temperature does a laboratory deep freezer maintain?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The temperature depends on the model. Bionics Scientific&#8217;s current laboratory deep-freezer range includes approximately -20\u00b0C, -40\u00b0C and -80\u00b0C configurations.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>How do I choose the right
