Laboratory deep freezers are essential for the preservation of biological samples, including blood bank storage, pharmaceuticals, and genetic materials. These freezers operate at ultra-low temperatures, often reaching -80°C, to maintain the integrity of sensitive materials. However, they are also among the most energy-intensive equipment in laboratories. As environmental concerns grow and energy costs rise, there is an increasing need to develop strategies and innovations to reduce energy consumption in laboratory deep freezers without compromising their performance. This article explores various methods, green technologies, and alternative cooling methods to achieve this goal.
