Storing samples at temperatures as low as -86°C is essential for preserving the integrity of biological samples over extended periods it helps to maintain their structure, stability, and viability, ensuring that valuable research materials remain intact for future analysis.

ULT storage effectively halts biological activity, preventing degradation and preserving the integrity of DNA, RNA, proteins, cells, tissues, and other biological specimens. This is crucial for long-term research and archival storage, allowing samples to be stored for years without losing quality.

At ultra-low temperatures, the natural breakdown of cellular structures and biomolecules slows down significantly. This is especially important for fragile samples, such as cell cultures, plasma, or organ tissues, where even small changes in temperature can lead to irreversible damage.

Storing samples at ULT temperatures prevents ice crystal formation, which can damage cells and tissues, particularly in biological research where even minor changes can alter experimental results. ULT freezers help to preserve the structure and composition of sensitive samples, ensuring the accuracy of future analysis.
