Ultra-Low Freezers, or ULTs, are freezers that can keep items at −86 °C. They are typically employed in research labs, hospitals, and laboratories to store genetic material and other very thermosensitive chemicals for lengthy periods.

Due to the high volatility of samples, chemicals, and finished products, biomedical research institutions frequently utilize these freezers. Furthermore, as certain mRNA-based immunizations require long-term storage at −70 °C, Ultra-Low Freezers have recently become more commonly employed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
B Medical Systems offers a selection of Ultra-Low Freezers with varying storage capacities. The U901, with a gross volume of 949 L, is ideal for hospitals, labs, universities, and research institutions that require a large storage area for their most thermosensitive samples and goods.
The main advantage of this Ultra-Low Freezer is its wide operating temperature range, which can safely store a variety of goods at temperatures ranging from −86 °C to −20 °C. This capability allows this model to act as a standard medical freezer if necessary.
