Explore our cold storage solutions
Designed with your science in mind
Most laboratories have a very large collection of biological samples from clinical and field studies, some irreplaceable, all representing enormous scientific and financial value for the researcher and the organisation. Hence a key aspect of research revolves around the preservation of samples for examination and analysis at a future date. It is imperative to have a process of storage (short and long term) that is efficient and preserves sample integrity over time.
How can Thermo Fisher Scientific partner with you?
For over 80 years, we have been a trusted and reliable partner in the development of sustainable, high-quality products for cold storage applications ranging from 4 °C high-performance laboratory refrigerators to –196 °C cryogenic freezers. We are committed to designing products and service solutions with your science in mind, helping you be confident on paper and in practice.
Discover why researchers worldwide protect more than 2 billion samples with Thermo Scientific cold storage equipment and consumables. Designed to support your science – across all temperatures.
