New partnership with Memmert, world’s leading manufacturer of laboratory incubators and ovens.
First of all, I would like to wish all our customers, suppliers and partners a Happy New Year. From both my team at Henderson Biomedical and I, we look forward to working with you in 2022.
In last month’s blog, I reviewed the popular Vestfrost VTS 258 Ultra-Low Temperature freezer. I looked at this model’s features and functionality and evaluated the pros and cons of the device. But who exactly is Vestfrost and what products do they offer for use in laboratories?
As mentioned in January’s blog, Vestfrost is a manufacturer of refrigerators and freezers. Based in Esbjerg, Denmark, the company was formed in 1963 and currently has over 120 partners worldwide. You can learn more about the company by watching their corporate video.
Vestfrost Solutions currently have a total of 86 different models split over five main areas:
The instruments that concern us most is the biomedical range, which is squarely focused to meet the needs of the laboratory user. This segment is then split into a further three categories as follows:
Currently, there are four different models to choose from. All models range from 2°C to 20°C. The smallest is the R-90 which is a little 90 litre capacity refrigerator and the largest is 381 litres. Vestfrost do plan to introduce more models in the future, so expect this product line to increase over the coming months and years.
For full details on the current Vestfrost refrigerator range, please visit our dedicated refrigerators webpage.
Currently, Vestfrost offer two freezers, both of which have a temperature range from -5°C to -25°C. Vestfrost used to have a much wider freezer range, but many models were discontinued to make way for newer ones.
Like with their refrigerator range, you can expect more models to be introduced to this product line in the future.

Vestfrost manufacture a range of -86°C freezers, also known as Ultra-Low Temperature freezers or ULT freezers for short. These models come in both a vertical upright or horizontal chest configurations depending on what you prefer.

Each Vestfrost refrigerator or freezer can be fitted with a range of optional extras. These include, but are not limited to:
Available for all biomedical refrigerators. A glass door allows users to choose what they want before opening the cabinet. This minimises the time needed to keep the door open. However, this option is not suitable for light sensitive medicines.
Wire racks can be unsuitable for small containers which might tip over whilst being stored. Sometimes, a flat shelf is more practical. Vestfrost can equip your refrigerator or freezer with high-quality, durable aluminium shelves. These shelves have holes in them to improve air circulation within the chamber.
For increased manoeuvrability, when you need to move your laboratory refrigerator or freezer to different locations.
Vestfrost can equip you refrigerator or freezer with an extra hardware kit. This includes a 48 hour backup battery for the controller and data logger in case of power failure. It also includes a safety thermostat that shuts off the compressor to avoid the temperature getting too cold and potentially damaging your contents.
