Samples stored at ultra-low temperature only stay viable if the freezer holding them never drifts out of range, and a lab that loses power or airflow for even a few hours can lose years of research material. Eppendorf built the CryoCube F Series specifically to guard against that risk, and MediDepot carries the full CryoCube lineup, spanning compact 101 liter units up through 740 liter, lab-scale freezers, all rated from negative 50 degrees C to negative 86 degrees C.
What sets this collection apart is capacity depth within a single trusted platform. Eppendorf doesn't force a lab to jump between brands as storage needs grow; MediDepot's catalog spans the CryoCube F101h for smaller sample volumes up through the CryoCube F740 series for high-capacity biobanking, which matters for labs planning for growth without wanting to requalify a new freezer platform every time capacity needs change.

Product Types
MediDepot's Eppendorf collection spans the CryoCube F Series ultra-low temperature freezer line across three capacity tiers, all rated from negative 50 degrees C to negative 86 degrees C.
Large Capacity Freezers (740 L)
The CryoCube F740 series, at 43.7 inches wide and 740 L (26.1 cu ft) capacity, is offered in three configurations: the F740hiw, F740hi, and F740h, which differ in insulation and door features for labs needing maximum storage density with the platform's highest level of temperature stability. This category totals 3 products.
Mid Capacity Freezers (440 L and 570 L)
The CryoCube F570 series, at 43.4 inches wide and 570 L (20.1 cu ft) capacity, is offered in the F570h and F570n configurations, while the CryoCube F440 series, at 37.6 inches wide and 440 L (15.5 cu ft) capacity, is offered in the F440h and F440n configurations, giving labs a mid-range footprint option between the largest and smallest CryoCube models. This category totals 4 products.
Compact Freezer (101 L)
The CryoCube F101h, at 36.9 inches wide and 101 L (3.6 cu ft) capacity, is Eppendorf's smallest ultra-low temperature freezer in this collection, suited to labs with limited floor space or lower sample storage volume. This category totals 1 product.
How to Choose the Right Product
Matching a CryoCube freezer to your lab depends on current and projected sample volume, available floor space, and how the unit will be configured.
- Sample volume today and in five years. Choose the F101h for smaller collections or satellite labs, the F440 or F570 series for growing mid-size programs, or the F740 series for biobanking-scale storage.
- Available floor space. Unit width ranges from 36.9 inches for the F101h up to 43.7 inches for the F740 series; confirm doorway and room clearance before ordering a larger unit.
- Configuration needs. The h, hi, hiw, and n suffixes indicate different configuration variants within each capacity tier; compare the specific features of each variant against your lab's power, monitoring, and access requirements.
- Redundancy planning. Labs storing irreplaceable samples should consider whether a single high-capacity unit or multiple smaller units better protects against total loss in the event of a single freezer failure.
- Power infrastructure. Ultra-low temperature freezers draw significant power, especially during pull-down and recovery; confirm your facility's electrical capacity can support the unit size you're considering.
- Temperature range requirements. All CryoCube models in this collection are rated from negative 50 degrees C to negative 86 degrees C, covering standard ultra-low storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the h, hi, hiw, and n configuration suffixes?
A: These suffixes indicate different configuration variants within each CryoCube capacity tier, generally reflecting differences in insulation, door design, or monitoring features. Compare each variant's specific documentation against your lab's requirements before ordering.
Q: What temperature range do CryoCube freezers cover?
A: Every CryoCube model in this collection is rated from negative 50 degrees C to negative 86 degrees C, covering standard ultra-low temperature sample storage protocols.
Q: Which CryoCube model is right for a smaller lab or satellite location?
A: The CryoCube F101h, at 101 L and 36.9 inches wide, is the most compact model in this collection and suits labs with limited floor space or lower sample storage volume.
Q: How much floor space and clearance do I need for a CryoCube freezer?
A: Width ranges from 36.9 inches for the F101h up to 43.7 inches for the F740 series. Confirm doorway width and room clearance for your specific model before delivery and installation.
Q: Should I buy one large freezer or multiple smaller units?
A: This depends on your redundancy needs. A single high-capacity F740 series unit maximizes storage density, while multiple smaller F440 or F570 units can reduce the risk of total sample loss if one freezer fails.
Q: What electrical capacity does a CryoCube freezer require?
A: Ultra-low temperature freezers draw significant power, particularly during pull-down and recovery periods. Confirm your facility's electrical infrastructure can support the specific unit size you're considering before installation.
