I mean, looking at a site now that sells cryogenic freezers, only one model goes colder than -86C, and this was going down to less than -110C. this is expensive and specialized equipment. I understand not having a second one but they needed more safety and redundancy on this one.

A quick google finds a -80C freezer for $14000 [0] a fraction of the $1million they've "lost".
