A demonstration event is planned Tuesday (Feb. 23) for a deal that is so hot and yet so cold at the same time: new energy-efficient, ultralow-temperature freezers for your research samples, for $9,650, less than half of the list price of $22,904. And you get free shipping and haul-away and recycling of your old freezer, provided it’s ready to go the day you receive your new one.

You can check out the freezer during the demonstration, noon to 2 p.m. in the Bennett Conference Room, second floor, , in the Health Sciences District.

“Energy savings is also a deal,” said Kay Cole, a buyer in �°������ϲ���Ļ��Ϣ Davis Contracting Services, noting that the Thermo Scientific TSX freezer — with 600-box capacity in 28.6 cubic feet — uses less than 10 kilowatt hours per day, less than half what older freezers require. “Not only does it support carbon-neutrality goals but it also costs less in utility costs for the university to operate one of these freezers.”

The �°������ϲ���Ļ��Ϣ Office of the President negotiated the deal with Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., and all the campuses are getting the word out. The trade-up deal is scheduled to expire April 30. Fliers from �°������ϲ���Ļ��Ϣ Davis Contracting Services advise interested researchers to contact Thermo Fisher Scientific representative Mindy Cole, by phone, 650-269-2609, or email, mindy.cole@thermofisher.com.
