36 CF Basic Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator

Description

36 CF Basic Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator – Product Highlights

• 36 cu. ft. storage capacity with eight adjustable shelves (½” increments) for flexible organization of chromatographic samples, reagents, and pharmaceutical materials
• Microprocessor temperature controller with digital display delivers precise 1°C to 10°C management at 0.1°C resolution — verifiable temperature control versus mechanical thermostats
• Forced-draft air circulation provides excellent temperature uniformity and rapid recovery after door openings, protecting sample integrity in cold storage workflows
• R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant — EPA-compliant natural refrigerant paired with foamed-in-place high-density urethane insulation for energy-efficient performance and reduced environmental impact
• RS-485 MODBUS digital communication with remote alarm contacts integrates the unit into facility monitoring infrastructure for GLP and GMP-validated laboratory refrigeration compliance
• Complete alarm suite — audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, sensor error detection, power failure alert, alarm mute with ring back, and alarm validation features
• LED interior lighting is safety-shielded and switch-controlled for clear visibility across all shelf levels during sample inspection and inventory
• 3/4″ probe access port and one side all port hole plus interior duplex outlet enable temperature monitoring and external equipment integration (unit requires two facility electrical outlets)
• Keyed door lock and white powder-coated steel construction — interior and exterior finish supports access control in regulated pharmaceutical and clinical environments
• ARES Cool is ARES Scientific’s proprietary cold storage line, distributed exclusively by ARES Scientific with full warranty support — five (5) years compressor warranty and one 1 year parts and labor warranty

Frequently Asked Questions – 36 CF Basic Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator

What is the temperature range of the ARS-HC-CB-36 chromatography refrigerator?

The ARS-HC-CB-36 maintains an adjustable temperature range of 1°C to 10°C with 0.1°C resolution. The microprocessor temperature controller and forced-draft air circulation system deliver precise temperature uniformity and rapid recovery after door openings, supporting pharmaceutical, clinical, and chromatographic sample storage applications.

What electrical requirements does the ARS-HC-CB-36 need?

The ARS-HC-CB-36 operates on 115V, 60 Hz, 4.5 Amps, 1/4 HP and ships with a NEMA 5-15 plug. The unit requires two separate facility electrical outlets — one for the refrigerator and one for the interior duplex outlet provided for laboratory refrigeration accessory equipment and chromatographic instruments.

What is the difference between the ARES Cool Basic series and Plus series chromatography refrigerators?

The Basic series uses a microprocessor temperature controller with integrated digital display and alarm functions, while the Plus series adds a separate alarm module that operates 100% independently of the microprocessor controller for redundant monitoring. The ARS-HC-CB-36 Basic series carries a one-year parts and labor warranty plus a five-year compressor warranty; Plus series units offer extended two-year parts and labor coverage.

What applications is the ARS-HC-CB-36 chromatography refrigerator used for?

The ARS-HC-CB-36 supports chromatographic sample preservation, pharmaceutical reagent storage, clinical chemistry workflows, blood banking, and FDA/GMP-regulated cold storage operations. Typical deployments include research institutions, hospital pharmacies, pharmaceutical R&D facilities, and clinical diagnostic laboratories requiring validated 1°C to 10°C temperature control with audible, visual, and remote alarm capabilities.

Does the ARS-HC-CB-36 meet GLP and GMP monitoring requirements?

The ARS-HC-CB-36 provides the monitoring infrastructure required for GLP and GMP-validated environments: audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, sensor error detection, power failure alert, RS-485 MODBUS digital communication, and remote alarm contacts for integration with facility monitoring systems. Alarm validation and alarm mute with ring back functions support documentation requirements common to FDA-regulated pharmaceutical and clinical workflows.
