Your Samples Are Safer Than Ever
The Stirling VAULT100 features a new, more robust, free-piston Stirling engine design that delivers unsurpassed temperature uniformity and stability. It’s the first ULT freezer with a -100 to -20°C temperature range and the best steady-state setpoint adherence in the market: +/-3°C* (9-position) uniformity and +/-0.2°C* (single-position) stability at -80°C. An updated interface shares freezer health analytics, keeping you in closer touch with your work. In addition, it’s designed with a 360-degree sustainability approach that doesn’t sacrifice performance or energy efficiency.

Check Out What’s Under the Hood
The new M6D Stirling engine builds on the advantages of our industry-changing technology to deliver the most robust, efficient and reliable performance yet.
The simplicity of the engine is its superpower — there are only a few moving parts in contactless linear motion — supported by gas bearings so there is no need for oil in the system. Using continuous modulation with advanced electronics, rather than stop/start temperature control, the M6D engine further reduces the chance of failure, providing your team with greater peace of mind.
Unsurpassed Temperature Uniformity
Most other ULT freezer manufacturers are satisfied with maintaining temperature uniformity to within +/-8°C.
That’s not good enough for us — or you.
The VAULT100 surpasses regulatory thresholds with a new thermodynamically engineered cabinet design that sustains temperature uniformity of +/-3°C at -80°C. With better steady-state temperature stability and uniformity at -100°C than most ULT freezers at -80°C, your samples are safer than ever.
Built for Fast Recovery
Lab techs open freezer doors throughout the day as they add or remove biological samples. With all that disruption, many ULT freezers struggle to get back to setpoint because there can be a difference of 100°C or more between ambient and lab freezer cabinet temperatures. This slow temperature recovery can threaten the integrity of your work.
The VAULT100 is built for fast temperature recovery with your everyday facility challenges in mind. Its enhanced engine, electronics and cabinet/inner door design ensure it gets back to temperature quickly. And when operating at setpoints down to -100°C, your samples may never be exposed to temperatures above -70°C during/after a typical door opening.
360-Degree Sustainability
Stirling Ultracold was the first in the industry to achieve ENERGY STAR® certification and has also received an ACT® Label from My Green Lab confirming a low Environmental Impact Factor (EIF).
But our approach to sustainability goes beyond kWh savings — and then some. The VAULT100 only uses 5.8 kWh** per day (steady state). It’s far more efficient than standard compressor-based units, even when operating down to -100°C setpoint. But it also offers the largest storage volume per square foot of floor space, significantly reducing your infrastructure footprint, plug load and carbon footprint.

Stay Connected to Your Work
An improved, larger user interface with built-in ethernet port and onboard predictive freezer analytics keep you more in tune with your work and the health of the equipment that safely preserves your samples.
You can also incorporate ULT performance data directly into your existing facilities’ BMS/BAS. The built-in ethernet port and BACnet interface help provide real-time event monitoring, so you can set alerts and be notified of door openings, temperature fluctuations and even engine status.
Onboard Predictive Analytics and Freezer Diagnostics
Using diagnostic lights like those on a car’s dashboard, the new VAULT100 user interface allows you to be more in touch with your work than any other ULT freezer on the market. You’ll get guidance for preventive maintenance and proactive service recommendations unique to your unit, its current operating conditions and stage of life, helping you to avoid unexpected cooling failures and the potential loss of sample integrity that come with them.
