Stirling Ultracold Freezer Achieves Unprecedented Eco-Friendly Score in U.S. Market
In a significant stride towards sustainability in laboratory equipment, Stirling Ultracold has announced that its latest upright ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezer, the VAULT100, has earned the lowest validated Environmental Impact Factor (EIF) score of 23 among ultra-low temperature models in the United States. This achievement, confirmed by the My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel audit, is a part of Stirling's broader commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of laboratory operations.
The VAULT100 represents not just an advancement in performance but also a leap in eco-friendliness. With a wide operational temperature range of -100°C to -20°C, it meets the diverse needs of researchers while maintaining energy efficiency. This new model replaces the previous SU780XLE model and matches its storage capacity while improving upon its environmental performance metrics.
The impact of the VAULT100's innovative design continues beyond just its operation. By implementing the M6D Stirling engine, which enhances energy efficiency and reliability, the freezer operates at a mere 5.8 kWh/day in steady-state conditions. This efficiency results in a lower Maximum Daily Energy Consumption (MDEC), verified by ENERGY STAR certification. Stirling Ultracold's commitment to environmental sustainability is clear as it strives to use 100% natural refrigerants, reducing dependence on harmful substances commonly used in refrigeration equipment.
Clayton Newman, the CEO of Stirling Ultracold, expressed satisfaction with this validation from a respected entity like My Green Lab. "It's very gratifying to see our latest effort to reduce ULT environmental impacts being validated by a respected lab sustainability advocate like My Green Lab," he stated. This recognition affirms the company's 360-degree approach to sustainability, which focuses on accountability, consistency, and transparency regarding environmental impact.
The My Green Lab ACT Ecolabel is the world's leading ecolabel for lab products. It serves as a standard for laboratories to make informed decisions about the sustainability of the products they choose. With clear, third-party verified data about the sustainability profiles of laboratory products, the ACT ensures that laboratories can easily procure environmentally preferable equipment.
The introduction of the VAULT100 has aligned with Stirling Ultracold's mission to innovate and lead in the ULT freezer market. It emphasizes that sustainability does not have to compromise performance but can enhance it, catering to the growing demand for environmentally responsible lab practices. Researchers can now store samples efficiently while also contributing to a reduction in their lab's carbon footprint.
As labs around the world become increasingly aware of their environmental responsibilities, Stirling Ultracold sets a benchmark in the industry. The VAULT100 not only meets rigorous performance standards but also aligns perfectly with the sustainable development goals that many organizations are now prioritizing.
