-80℃ Backup Freezers

Updated Apr. 18, 2024 

Is your deep freezer broken?
We have backup freezers on stand-by while you are repairing your freezer.

Policy

It is NOT necessary to send any requests or make a reservation to use the backup freezer for the following reasons:

  • When your deep freezer has malfunctioned
  • When your deep freezer is undergoing repair work
  • When you are relocating

Upon using the backup freezer, please write your Unit name and period of use on the sheet attached to each freezer door.
After the usage period, please remove the items from the backup freezer.

Please keep in mind these freezers are for emergency use only. These backup freezers must be kept empty at all times to ensure space availability for those who need them urgently.

The use of these backup freezers as regular sample storage is not recommended. The BLS Section is not responsible for any loss or damages incurred to your samples.

For inquiries about the backup freezers' availability, please contact us at bls@oist.jp.
