90-Day Warranty

Thermo Forma -86°C Dual Door Ultralow Freezer

  • Model 8694
  • Low temperature range to -86°C
  • 17.3 Cu. Ft. Capacity
  • 90-day warranty

The Thermo 8694 has a storage capacity of 17.3 cu feet, and a low temperature range to -86°C. A dual door system gives users of this -80 lab freezer access to frequently used samples above, which items less needed can remain in the lower area undisturbed. It allows you to store both short, and long-term samples efficiently. It features a centralized information center, including microprocessor control and monitoring system, which ensures that all controls and displays are easy to reach and read, close to eye level.

This unit is built to last and stand up to rough working conditions. The exterior cabinet is constructed of heavy gauge cold-rolled steel and a powder coat paint finish, and the exterior resists chipping and rust. The microprocessor control and monitoring systems with an additional power management system with audible and visual alarms alert users to any problem with freezer. 5” foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation improves energy efficiency by reducing the need for power consumption and maintaining a consistent temperature setpoint. Additionally, a voltage compensator and back-up system result in peak performance.

The interior is polished stainless set over foamed in place polyurethane insulation that reduces energy consumption of this ultra-low temperature freezer and allows it to reach set temperatures quickly. Inside solid stainless-steel shelves are durable enough to handle a full load, while 4 interior compartment doors reduce temperature loss of compartments not being accessed. While on the exterior there is a handy storage pocket, giving you a location for your inventory control logs, IQ/QQ procedures or daily logs.

Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians use calibrated digital chart recorders to verify the accuracy of temperature controls and readouts of all ultralow freezers, making sure that the units hold temperature to within the manufacturer specified tolerance. We replace any hardware or parts as is necessary and if needed replace refrigerant. We clean all freezers thoroughly prior to shipment.

The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.

FAQ

Does the equipment come with a warranty?

Yes, all equipment from American Instrument Exchange comes with a warranty.
Used/reconditioned/refurbished equipment is tested to make sure it operates to the manufacturer’s specifications and comes with a 90-day warranty (unless otherwise noted). New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.

How do you test and recondition the equipment?

Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality.
We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly. While we may not be able to test for specific analytical applications we do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be used in your lab. If you have particular testing requirements please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these are addressed during testing. 

How do products ship from American Instrument Exchange?

We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements. In many cases we can offer inside delivery. Customers are also welcome to make pick-up arrangements using their own preferred carrier. 

All shipments are FOB Haverhill, MA. American Instrument Exchange will take reasonable steps to protect the equipment during shipment and the equipment will be fully insured. The customer will be charged for all shipping and handling charges, and fees incurred in the process of delivering the order.  

For local customers in and around New England we can offer shipping and delivery using a local moving company trained by our staff to handle and deliver lab equipment. Our local movers can provide either standard dock-to-dock delivery or bring the equipment into your lab and set it in place. 

Prior to signing the POD (Proof of Delivery), you are responsible for inspecting the goods for any damage.  You MUST note any damage on the POD prior to letting the driver leave.  This is to protect you, the receiver of the goods in the unlikely event of any damage.  Once you sign the POD free and clear from damage, the goods are then deemed delivered in good order and no further claims would be applicable.  This is the standard for all transportation so we want to protect you, our valued client.

Return and order cancellation policy

American Instrument Exchange will accept the return of any product that is not working as represented and could not be replaced or repaired to the customer’s satisfaction by American Instrument or a technician hired by/vetted by American Instrument Exchange’s during the warranty period. The customer will be responsible for proper packaging of the equipment and all included accessories. 

Customers who cancel orders after refurbishing has begun or after delivery where there are no equipment performance issues will be subject to a cancellation and restocking fee of between 20% and 40% and responsible for the full total of the  shipping & handling costs for both the delivery and the return of the equipment. 

Are discounts available for educational or non-profit institutions, or for bulk purchases?

Yes – call or email us today with a list of equipment you’re looking for and we can potentially put together a quote that includes a discount. 

How does your price matching policy work?

We strive to keep our pricing competitive and reasonable. If you find comparable items for sale at a lower price from other vendors please send us a link and or quote for the item and we’ll do our best to match or beat the price.

Can I see the equipment in person before committing to a purchase?

Customers are welcome to make an appointment to view equipment in our warehouse. Given our workload we may not be able to test or clean the equipment prior to your arrival if you have not committed to an order. 

1023 Western Avenue is a working warehouse, not a showroom, and customers should dress appropriately and wear closed toe shoes.

Can I ship products that I purchased elsewhere to American Instrument for repair?

Yes – please see our repair services page for more information.
