[Histonet] RE: Freezer for tissue storage

[Morken, Timothy]

We use Sanyo and Revco uprights with good success. One key ease of use feature has been the use of front-pull racks for sample box storage. Only one row at a time needs to be pulled out rather than a whole rack. We have them linked to a central monitoring system for temperature and power outage alerts so don't bother with chart recorders (though they have LED temperature display).

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