All Lab equipment is designed to sustain specific conditions for operation, either consistent temperatures when it comes to Cold Storage, Ovens or Incubators or speed for centrifuges etc.

3 Ways VR and AR Can Make ULT Freezers Cooler

Ultralow temperature (ULT) freezers produce very cold temperatures of up to -86º C. Now, with the technologies of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), ULT freezers can be even cooler.

North Sciences Jean Fallacara writes on Artificial Intelligence for Lab Monitoring in this article published in Lab Manager.

A typical day in your lab may involve walking near a freezer, or a room full of them. These, especially ultralow temperature (ULT) freezers, are crucial pieces of equipment in any biological lab. They allow specimens to be preserved for as long as several years without loss of quality and viability.

2 Powerful Things AI Can Do For Your Lab 

Artificial intelligence (AI) has gone far since being a staple of science fiction in the 20th century. Now, AI is a science fact, and it is quickly gaining ground. Modern AI can write, paint pictures, and compose music, among other remarkable things.

The typical refrigerator or freezer uses a refrigerant to produce cold temperatures. Refrigerants make use of a cycle of evaporation and condensation to cool the contents inside. Evaporation is an endothermic process, which absorbs heat from the surroundings. The result is a cool refrigerator interior.
