The Low Temperature Blood Operating Bench provides a temperature-controlled working surface specifically designed for blood sample processing and analysis procedures requiring consistent 2-8°C conditions. This specialized laboratory workstation combines precision microcomputer temperature control with a stainless steel countertop engineered to prevent sample displacement during handling operations.
The system maintains temperature stability within ±0.1°C through air-cooling refrigeration technology, with real-time digital temperature monitoring and ultra-low temperature alarms for protocol compliance. The 1350×860×880 mm external dimensions provide substantial workspace while accommodating standard laboratory footprints, making it suitable for blood banking facilities, clinical laboratories, and research environments requiring controlled-temperature sample manipulation.
How It Works
The Low Temperature Blood Operating Bench operates through precision microcomputer temperature control technology integrated with air-cooling refrigeration. The system continuously monitors and adjusts temperature to maintain the 2-8°C range with ±0.1°C stability required for blood sample integrity. Digital sensors provide real-time temperature feedback to the microcomputer control system, which modulates refrigeration output to compensate for thermal loads from sample handling and ambient conditions.
The stainless steel working surface features wire drawing process finishing for enhanced durability and cleanability, while the anti-slip countertop design prevents blood sample displacement during handling operations. The integrated alarm system provides audible alerts for ultra-low temperature conditions, ensuring immediate notification of temperature excursions that could compromise sample quality.
Safety features include leakage current and over voltage protection, while the compressor system incorporates delay starting and high temperature protection to prevent mechanical damage during operation. The combination of precise temperature control, robust construction, and comprehensive safety systems creates a controlled environment suitable for critical blood banking and clinical diagnostic procedures.

This workstation combines precision temperature control with specialized features for blood sample handling. The anti-slip surface design and comprehensive safety systems distinguish it from basic refrigerated laboratory furniture.
Practical Tips
Verify temperature accuracy monthly using a calibrated reference thermometer placed directly on the working surface.
Why: Surface temperature may vary from air temperature, making direct surface measurement essential for accuracy.
Clean the stainless steel surface daily with laboratory-grade disinfectant and inspect for any signs of corrosion or damage.
Why: Regular cleaning maintains sterile conditions and preserves the wire drawing finish for optimal performance.
Allow samples to equilibrate on the work surface for 5-10 minutes before beginning temperature-sensitive procedures.
Why: Sample temperature equilibration ensures consistent conditions throughout the analytical workflow.
Minimize door openings and limit the number of samples placed simultaneously to maintain temperature stability.
Why: Thermal load management prevents temperature fluctuations that could affect sample integrity.
If temperature alarms activate, verify that air vents are unobstructed and ambient room temperature is within specifications.
Why: Blocked ventilation or high ambient temperatures can prevent proper cooling system operation.
Test alarm systems weekly to ensure proper function and immediate notification of temperature excursions.
Why: Functional alarms provide critical protection for temperature-sensitive blood samples and reagents.
Document temperature readings at the beginning and end of each work session for quality assurance records.
Why: Temperature documentation supports regulatory compliance and troubleshooting of sample integrity issues.
