Refurbishment and Testing Process
At American Instrument Exchange, each refurbished ultra-low freezer is inspected and evaluated by our technicians prior to shipment. Testing procedures may include refrigeration performance verification, compressor operation assessment, temperature pull-down testing, temperature stability evaluation, alarm system verification, controller functionality testing, door gasket inspection, and general operational testing. Components showing excessive wear are addressed as needed to help ensure reliable performance. Final cleaning and inspection are completed before packaging and shipment.
Shipping and Installation Considerations
The Thermo Scientific RDE60086FA requires adequate ventilation clearance and a properly sized electrical circuit to support reliable operation. Buyers should verify doorway access, hallway clearances, elevator dimensions, and final installation requirements before delivery. Ultra-low freezers should be transported upright whenever possible and allowed to stabilize after shipment before startup. Proper installation and preventative maintenance can help maximize freezer performance and extend service life.
