A pathology lab freezer should typically be set to a temperature of -20°C (-4°F) or lower to preserve biological samples and reagents effectively. For long-term storage of sensitive specimens, such as certain tissue samples or RNA, ultra-low temperature freezers set to -80°C (-112°F) may be used. It is essential to maintain these temperatures consistently to ensure the integrity and stability of the stored materials.
