Cool rooms and freezers
RV Investigator has a blast freezer, cool room, two walk-in freezers and two ultra-low temperature freezers (-80°C) which allows for samples to be preserved and stored for later analysis.
In addition to cold-storage facilities, the vessel also has incubation facilities, enabling researchers to keep living organisms alive for research purposes on board or to store them at sea for later analysis.
