minimize frost build-up. Not a good situation for keeping specimens or for pest control. A manual defrost freezer will keep the temperature constant although it will need periodic (usually annual) defrosting though to get rid of the buildup of ice.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">... yes, chest-type freezer would be the better option and might have slightly longer hold-over times in case of power failure. It might be worth to look for specific canteen equipment freezers instead of household freezer - we had bad
experiences with (plastic) handles that broke/cracked after few years because of frequent freezer use. Canteen kitchen equipment might be a bit more expensive, but might be more durable.<br>
<br>
If you prefer an upright freezer, the freezer should have drawers so that you can remove all specimens from one drawer - some freezer have a combination of drawers and compartments or only compartments which then might require (expensive) additional trays to
hold specimen-tubes / boxes. <br>
<br>
All the best<br>

it is heavier than warm air) when you open the door. That doesn’t happen with a chest type. We’ve been looking at a Frigidaire that will hold 6 boxes 12 x 12 x 18 (herbarium specimens) for about $350.00. You can also get chest types in larger sizes if
needed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
