Overview

Chest style Low Temperature Freezers are designed for storing product down to -40°C. The chest style unit allows for efficient storage capabilities. Freezer Sizes range from 3 to 22 cubic feet capacities.

Manufactured in Cincinnati Ohio, So-Low's Low Temperature Freezers to -40°C are produced with high quality craftsmanship, heavy-duty materials, and over 50 years of experience. These freezers use a hermetic motor compressor refrigeration system, providing durable and reliable environmental conditions for your product’s vital temperature requirements. So-Low Low Temperature Freezers are available in wide variety of sizes and styles, to accommodate for each customer required conditions. Combined with our nation-wide service network, our Low Temperature Freezers have various options for additional temperature recording devices, providing the highest level of quality temperature management and transcription.

So-Low's Superior Construction

Laboratory freezers have a 16-ga. exterior (cold rolled steel). Interiors are 14 gauge vs. competitions 16 gauge. Uprights have adjustable shelves. Laboratory freezer interiors are galvanized, non-corrosive steel. Galvanized steel conducts temperature more efficiently than stainless steel. This creates less stress on compressors making them run cooler and longer.

So-Low's Digital Control

So-Low is the only Ultra-Low temperature manufacturer to utilize a dual display digital temperature control. A red LED display indicates the actual interior chamber temperature while a green LED display located directly below the red display shows the actual setpoint temperature. This will give assurance that the freezer is operating at the correct temperature range whereas other manufacturer's temperature controls show only the actual temperature and not both the setpoint and actual temperature.

So-Low's Dependability

Laboratory professionals all over the world have recognized the dependability and efficiency of So-Low Laboratory Freezers, the first to combine all of these performance features and deliver a level of quality construction, reliability and value unequaled anywhere in the world.

Performance testing is your assurance of So-Low Laboratory freezers' dependability. Every freezer is fully tested under the most demanding conditions for seven days. The constant ultra-low setpoint operating temperature is assured in warm temperature environments. Dependability is backed up by a 12 month warranty. Technical assistance is provided by a Nation-Wide-Network of service companies.

Please note: So-Low refrigerators and freezers are manufactured at the time the order is placed and go through extensive testing before they are released. A 2-3 week lead time should be expected.

Some of the accessories/options available for this product are factory installed and must be purchased at the same time your So-Low freezer / refrigerator is ordered. Please add them to your cart with your freezer / refrigerator before checkout so that they may be included with the submission of your order to the manufacturer for installation during production.

FAQ

What is the temperature stability / differential of the So-Low Low Temperature Chest Freezers?

While there is no specified temperature differential, based on the data which So-Low collects in testing every freezer prior to shipment, when the temperature setpoint is -40°C a temperature stability of +/- 5°C can be expected. (Higher temperature setpoints result in larger cycle temperature swings.)

This cycle temperature variance cannot be user-defined nor factory altered.

Instructions are useless
Size: 1 Panel
The instructions are poorly written and not very helpful. The divider itself is easy to assemble, and honestly, it would’ve been quicker if I had skipped the directions altogether. Once put together, though, it works as intended.

This was the best
Size: 1 Panel
This divider is great for creating a little privacy or separating a small area without taking up much space. The fabric is thick enough to block visual clutter, and the frame is lightweight but stable once it’s opened. It folds flat for storage, which is convenient if you only need it occasionally. Assembly was straightforward, and it was the perfect size. It’s a practical piece for apartments, studios, or home offices where you want a quick, temporary partition.

Good privacy screen
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
This is a good privacy screen that's easy to assemble and looks nice. Be a little careful moving it, as the corners can twist. It's sturdy once in place, and the thick material is completely opaque. If the folds bother you, you might want to iron it, but I'm happy with it as is.

Lightweight divider that works well for video call backgrounds
Size: 1 Panel
This divider works fine for what it is, but it’s definitely on the lightweight side. Setup was very easy and only took a few minutes. The frame is fairly light, so it’s easy to move around or reposition if needed. That said, the tradeoff is that it’s not especially sturdy. It stands fine on its own but I wouldn’t expect it to handle much bumping or movement. I mainly bought it to use as a background for Zoom calls when I’m working from my den, and for that purpose it works great. The fabric panel blocks the room behind me and gives a cleaner background on camera. It’s not huge though. To keep the camera from seeing around it, I have to position it directly behind my chair. If you’re expecting it to divide a large room or create a big privacy barrier, it may feel a bit small. Overall, it does the job and works well for temporary setups or video call backgrounds, but the lightweight frame keeps it from feeling like a premium divider. The product description and photos are accurate.

Sent Wrong Pieces
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
I really, really wanted to like this - and, in theory, I really, really should have! The instructions were easy to follow and assembly took about five minutes. The assembled screen is lightweight and easy to move. It was a great size and exactly what I was looking for except....I wasn't sent the correct pieces. Instead of receiving 4 elbow pieces and 4 feet, I received 2 elbow pieces and 8 feet - meaning that the bottom part of the fabric just hangs there and, overall, the divider is extremely unstable because there is no horizontal support on the bottom. Thankfully, there are Velcro tabs on the side of the fabric so I can use it if I don't plan to move it even 1 cm, but otherwise, what I received is not usable for what I needed it for. Additionally, the fabric is made of polyester and catches animal hair very easily. Had I received the correct pieces, this would be a good buy for the money. Unfortunately, overall, I'm disappointed.
