As someone who used to do preventative and emergency maintenance on -80 freezers, this hits hard. The number of nights I spent swapping samples from one unit to another because the first unit was failing was a lot… but it was automatic triple time.

If I had a nickel for every time this happened I would have probably about a buck thirty-five, which is not a lot, but shit did this happen too often.

They sound like they’re made of rare incandescent light bulbs, Jatco CVTs and Seagate hardrives post tsunami

We talking ThermoFischer Scientific, or others? Is there a reliable ULT freezer anyone can recommend?

We used whatever we could get our hands on.
A frozen seal was probably the most common, which is not world ending as it is fine after you defrost it. But once it is defrosted you have to recertify it, which takes about a week.
