BLS3 Laboratory

ULTs in Biosafety Level 3 laboratories

Ultra-low temeratures (ULTs) play a vital role in advancing scientific research while protecting both researchers and the public from potential exposure to hazardous pathogens.

ULTs, down to -86 degrees, are essential tools in Biosafety Level 3 laboratories (BSL-3 labs) for maintaining the integrity of biological samples, preserving reagents, and enhancing safety protocols for high-risk research.

The use of ULT freezers in these environments is critical for the preservation of pathogens, the long-term storage of biological materials, and ensuring that research involving dangerous microorganisms can be conducted safely and effectively. By enabling the cryopreservation of viruses, bacteria, and other temperature-sensitive materials that may be infectious, are contained at ULTs to preserve the viability of microorganisms.

The small and compact design of Nordic labs ULT freezers are especially useful in BLS3 Labs with limited space, a need for several freezer types or a requirement for multiple freezer temperatures.
