The accolade highlights the company’s February 2026 update to its existing smartphone app, which now allows facility managers to conduct precise room assessments. This digital tool addresses a growing safety mandate: as laboratories transition to natural refrigerants to comply with evolving regulations like UL 60335-2-89, they must maintain strict volume-to-charge ratios to prevent risks associated with potential gas leaks. The application automates the complex calculations required to confirm that room dimensions meet safety thresholds for flammable substances.

Dr. Dirk Frese, VP of Sales, Marketing & Service, noted that the project was driven by a commitment to share resources that advance scientific safety. Currently, JULABO USA remains the only industry player to offer a dedicated application paired with integrated LiDAR scanning. By automating spatial analysis and providing tailored product suggestions based on specific laboratory footprints, the tool serves as a critical asset for distributors and end-users navigating the shift toward sustainable cooling technologies.
