Ultra-Slender 360 litre (12.7 cft) Freezer with Sophisticated Control and Automated Data Logging Capability!
For labs tight on space, New Brunswick Scientific (NBS) has designed a new slender-styled upright -86°C ultra-low temperature freezer that fits where other lab feezers simply can't go. The Innova U360 adds many new features including an advanced controller with extra large display for easy viewing, automated data logging, audible door open alarm and more. Vacuum Insulation Panel technology maximises storage capacity and minimises footprint.
This lab freezer shares the same quality construction and system advantages as our original Innova models, but with the added features below.

Innova® -86°C Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) Laboratory Freezers: With Space-Saving Vacuum Insulation Panel Technology
Innova ultra-low temperature laboratory freezers from New Brunswick Scientific (NBS) use Vacuum Insulation Panel technology to provide up to 30% more internal capacity than freezers of equal size.
Seven energy-efficient Innova upright and chest freezers are now available, including our unique personal-sized Innova U101, designed for use on or under the lab bench; our slender Innova U360, designed to fit in even the tightest spaces; and our Innova U725, capable of holding up to 10400 more samples than lab freezers of equal size. We also offer Innova U725-G "Green" freezers in 50 Hz voltages, providing advanced energy savings and lower greenhouse emissions.
Features & Benefits of NBS Innova Lab Freezers
Increased Storage Capacity
- Innova ULT laboratory freezers utilise Vacuum Insulation Panel technology to offer up to 30% more storage capacity than traditionally-insulated lab freezers, without altering external dimensions.
Energy Efficient
- NBS Lab Freezers Consume Less Power per Kilowatt-Hour than ULT freezers of similar size, resulting in lower energy bills. So you'll save thousands of dollars in operating costs over the life of your freezer. See the energy savings worksheet or electrical cord plug and receptacle requirements
- Inner Door Seals Prevent Cold Air Loss and eliminate need for a door heater, resulting in lower energy bills and less maintenance
- Flexible Low-Temperature Outer Door Seals prevent cold air loss for lower energy bills and maintenance
- Multiple Compartments with insulated inner doors protect samples and improve energy efficiency (upright models)
- Rapid Temperature Recovery After Door Opening provides enhanced sample security
Convenience
- Flush, Front-Mounted Control Panel is easy to read and reach. Features a bright LED display; a flat touch-keypad for easy cleaning. Mounted at eye-level on all upright units
- Easy-to-Open Door allows one-handed operation. Cam latch ensures secure door closure
- Heated Air Vent with Spring-Assisted Plunger to Break Ice prevents vacuum formation, allowing door to be re-opened quickly
