Additional this is the only freezer compatible with the TEC 3000 technology needed for adequate temperature monitoring, LN2 level monitoring, and control automatic filling. This system sends an alarm when the freezer goes beyond set thresholds. These systems are proprietary technology and can't be purchased elsewhere. Therefore, using the same types of sensors, equipment & associated components, not only insures data compatibility, but also maintain continuity in their research results.
