"Cash for Clunkers" Freezer Trade-In Program
The SVPHS Research Unit, in coordination with the Office of the Vice President for Research, is again able to offer a freezer trade‐in program, intended to increase the efficiency and reliability of ‐80 freezers on campus. Program pricing has been negotiated with ThermoFisher to provide high‐efficiency freezers at the lowest possible cost to our programs. A $4,000 trade‐in rebate will be offered for all of campus. To be eligible to receive the rebate, programs must trade in an energy‐inefficient freezer at the time of purchase.
