Used and refurbished lab available from American Instrument Exchange. Click HERE for more details.

It seems as if we’re finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel: COVID-19 vaccines are being rolled out in greater numbers, some of our staff have gotten their first jabs, and normal life seems to be slowly but surely coming into focus. For the time being we’re still limiting the number of vendors to our warehouse and have temporarily suspended visits from customers until further notice. Though this is an inconvenience we believe it is in the best interest of our staff, vendors, and customers, and will keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. As always we’re happy to provide pictures, videos, and testing details for any equipment you’d like to purchase, but for the time being and for the safety of our employees and customers we cannot permit tours or in-person equipment evaluations.

We continue to be the preferred supplier for used and refurbished equipment to customers worldwide in a variety of industries, including major pharmaceutical companies, rock-star biotech startups, major breweries and microbreweries, cannabis startups, academic labs, and more. In addition to the global network of customers we have built over the past five decades a significant portion of our business is still centered in and around the biotech cluster in Cambridge and Boston that we call home. Below are some examples of used and refurbished lab equipment that we shipped to local customers last month.

So if you’re in and around Cambridge and Boston and you’re in the market for used and refurbished lab equipment, give us a call or email. You’re always welcome to come by the warehouse and check out what we have in stock and available. And if you’re not local that’s fine too: we utilize a huge network of freight carriers in order to quickly and safely ship lab equipment across the USA and around the world. Thanks!

Advantages of a double door ultralow freezer

Click here to see used and refurbished ultralow freezers from American Instrument Exchange.

We consistently stock ultralow freezers here at American Instrument Exchange, including models from Thermo Scientific, VWR, Stirling, Norlake, and Panasonic, and more. One feature that is often overlooked when selecting an ultralow is the double door.

What’s so great about double door access on an ultralow freezer? Well for one thing it is better for sample stability. Anytime a user reaches in to one chamber the other chamber remains undisturbed, door closed and temperature uninterrupted, with no temperature spike exposure to ambient conditions.

VWR model 5603 ultralow freezer

As an ancillary benefit to stable conditions the double door units often use less energy than single door models because there is a less of a need for the compressors to kick on to recover temperature – the undisturbed chamber has maintained temperature and the chamber that was opened is small and thus easier to cool back down. In other words, the double door feature improves temperature control and increase reserve BTUH capacity, the result of which is better sample temperature stability.

The best way to take advantage of the double door feature is to store infrequently accessed samples in the bottom chamber for longer term undisturbed storage while putting the more regularly needed samples in the top chamber for quick retrieval.

So if you’re looking for an ultralow freezer for your lab please give us a call or email today to ask about the availability of double door models. Thanks!
