[Histonet] RE: Freezer for tissue storage

[Walter Benton]

Revco freezers are very good. I prefer uprights for their ease of use (with racks and seeing the stored samples) and use of doors over stryofoam covers used for chest freezers.

In my experience the uprights have more frost buildup problems, causing sealing problems. The chest ones I've had in the lab do less of this.

I need a recommendation for a -80 degree C. freezer for storing tissue specimens.  Do you prefer upright vs. chest?  Thanks.
