Tescor manufactures customized low temperature freezers that are used for bulk storage of pharmaceutical products.        

 

Tescor has utilized its experience in refrigeration and air conditioning technologies to manufacture chambers which can maintain –70° C (-94° F) on a continuous basis.

The Tescor freezer is configured to have a  -20° C corridor with identical -70° C freezer compartments on both sides. The freezer can also be configured to include a +4° C Ante-room to help prevent moisture migration to freezer section.
