Freezers can be colder than their set temperature. At the BMC, freezers set at -21°C were observed to be at temperatures as low as -27°C. The lower the actual temperature of a freezer, the more energy it consumes.

What we can do

To prevent unnecessary cooling and ensure appropriate sample storage, measure the freezer temperature with a thermometer and adjust the freezer settings accordingly.
