Farrar 190 ulc ultra low chamber

Ultra low chamber for Pharma & BioPharma

Withnell Sensors partners with FARRAR™ to offer the ULC ultra-low chamber to the UK market. FARRAR has pioneered forced-air convection cooling as an answer to the challenges faced when storing biological and human tissue samples and materials. Engineered specifically for pharmaceutical and life science applications, the Ultra Low Chamber(ULC) and 'Pallet' Ultra Low Chamber (ULC-P) are the sole -20°C to -80°C, forced air convection, ultra-low temperature freezers on the market today. The ULC line is perfect for bulk storage for both short-term and long-term demands. These ground-breaking ultra-low chambers enable quick, efficient, and sustainable product cool down as well as support all product containers (bags, bottles, and boxes of all sizes and shapes of pharmaceutical packaging). The chambers boast 5,380 litres of capacity in just a 190 cubic ft area, providing a 50% reduction in floor space on standard freezers. At +/-3.0˚C temperature ISO-certified ULC & ULC–P units provide incomparable uniformity, offer full redundant systems (controls, refrigeration airflow), as well as offering the fastest temperature recovery from door openings, going far beyond rival products. Designed with energy balance in mind, the ULC and ULC-P are smart storage solutions for life science applications that offer dynamic refrigeration control and low energy consumption (0.33 kWh/cu.ft.).

The All New ULC-259

With the rapid growth of biologic based drugs, more cold storage specifically optimised for material handling is needed for bulk drug substance, final drug product, biologic samples, lot samples, and clinical trial kits. To meet the needs of bio-logistics, biorepositories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and clinical trial customers, which FARRAR and Withnell Sensors now offers with the new ULC-259.

Process Driven Engineering

The ULC-259 is engineered for high traffic processes that require frequent access. It is the latest innovation in FARRAR’s ultra-low temperature freezer solution series. Designed for the demanding pull/pack/ship process, this new chamber innovation offers all the features and benefits pharma, biopharma, and biorepository customers have come to rely on with the ULC-190 and ULC-311 combined with intelligent racking and sliding drawer options. The forced- air refrigeration system provides unmatched temperature uniformity and rapid recoveries from door openings to the ULC family.

ULC-259 Product Capability

  • Designed for frequent access storage, clinical trial kitting, and logistics prep process needs in mind
  • Ergonomically engineered for high-density storage and pull/pack/ship accessibility
  • Chamber accommodates smart sliding racks and carts to minimise product/substance/sample handling
  • Easy loading and pulling from the ground
