7.1 Accessories 

 
A number of accessories are available for the New Brunswick Scientific range of 
ultra-low temperature freezers.  Contact your local NBS representative or 
distributor for details.

 Back-Up Systems 

 
These systems are available to temporarily protect the contents of the 
freezer against the consequences of freezer or power failure.  In an 
emergency, the system can inject either carbon dioxide or liquid nitrogen 
from a storage bottle.  Carbon dioxide back-up systems will maintain 
temperatures between -40°C and -70°C (subject to environmental 
conditions) for a period of up to 48 hours, during which time the freezer 
can be repaired. Liquid nitrogen back-up systems will maintain the freezer 
temperature at -86°C. 
 
CO

and LN

 back up systems can be retrofitted by the user. Contact your 

local NBS distributor for options available.  Instructions are included in 
the kit. 
 

7.1.2 Racking 

Systems 

 

A very comprehensive set of aluminum racks is available.  These are 
designed to accommodate various sizes of boxes neatly, while giving 
maximum packing density in the freezer.  Custom-made racking may 
also be available upon request. 

 

7.1.3 Chart 

Recorder 

 

A chart recorder is available to provide a continuous record of the 
temperature inside the freezer over a period of seven days.  The record is 
presented on a circular chart.
