Source BioScience, the international laboratory services and products business, has launched its revolutionary -70°C walk-in chamber, the Polar 50. The official opening featured the world-famous polar explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who spoke at the launch.

With temperatures regularly reaching -70°C, the coldest place on earth is unsurprisingly the Antarctic. Source BioScience is now able to replicate these bone-chilling temperatures in an innovative, efficient storage solution. The only one of its kind in the world, the Source BioScience -70°C walk-in chamber is the first in the new Polar Series and will be welcomed into research and industrial settings alike. Boasting a high-efficiency insulated enclosure, with an internal volume of 50m3, the chamber is supported with 100% operational redundancy on key components and has been designed for easy installation in any manufacturing or storage facility.

The latest addition to the Company’s growing portfolio of products and services, the first Polar 50 has ...
