ARES Cool 10 Cu. Ft. Solid Door Combo Pharmacy Refrigerator/Freezer (-30°C)
Quote
When vaccines, injectable medications, and frozen biologicals all require dedicated cold chain control within a single compact footprint, the ARES Cool 10 cu. ft. Solid Door Combo Pharmacy Refrigerator/Freezer (-30°C) delivers the dual-zone pharmaceutical cold storage that pharmacy and clinical environments depend on — part of ARES Cool, ARES Scientific’s proprietary line of laboratory and medical-grade cold storage equipment built for compliance-driven healthcare and research facilities.
This pharmacy refrigerator freezer combo — also referenced as a combination pharmacy cold storage unit, lab fridge freezer two-in-one, or clinical refrigerator freezer combo — houses independent refrigerator and freezer compartments in a single 23¾” × 24″ × 65″ floor-standing cabinet: the refrigerator section maintains 2°C to 8°C for vaccines, medications, reagents, and biological samples, while the freezer section reaches -30°C for lyophilized pharmaceuticals, frozen plasma, biological specimens, and cold storage applications that standard -20°C pharmacy freezers cannot accommodate; a technically distinct dual refrigerant system — R600a for the refrigerator compartment and R290 for the freezer compartment — independently optimizes each zone’s energy efficiency and environmental performance, offering a refrigerator and freezer combo configuration not typically found in single-refrigerant units; for guidance on selecting medical refrigeration for vaccine programs, see choosing a medical refrigerator for vaccine storage.
Supporting blood bank, vivarium, cannabis, and pathology cold storage workflows alongside pharmacy applications, the unit features a microprocessor controller, keyed door locks, temperature alarms, UL/C-UL listing, solid door design for maximum insulation, cycle defrost refrigerator, and manual defrost freezer — all within a footprint suited to satellite pharmacies, nursing stations, clinical labs, and space-limited research environments where a standalone pharmacy freezer and refrigerator would otherwise require two separate units.
Description
ARES Cool 10 cu. ft. Solid Door Combo Pharmacy Refrigerator/Freezer (-30°C) – Product Highlights
- Combining a 2°C to 8°C pharmaceutical refrigerator and a -30°C freezer compartment in a single 10 cu. ft. floor-standing unit, this combo delivers dual-zone pharmaceutical cold storage that replaces two separate cold storage units with one compact, space-saving solution for satellite pharmacies, nursing stations, clinical labs, and vivarium cold storage environments; see why continuous monitoring matters across pharmaceutical cold chain zones when managing dual-zone cold storage.
- With a freezer compartment reaching -30°C, this unit extends pharmaceutical cold storage capability to lyophilized drug storage, frozen plasma, and deep-frozen biological specimen preservation that standard -20°C pharmacy freezers cannot support — a critical capability for blood bank cold storage, clinical research, and pharmaceutical facilities storing temperature-sensitive biologicals below the standard frozen medication range.
- Gerund phrase: Utilizing a technically distinct dual refrigerant system — R600a for the refrigerator compartment and R290 for the freezer compartment — each zone operates with independently optimized eco-friendly hydrocarbon refrigerants that minimize global warming potential while maintaining the precise temperature performance required across two distinct pharmaceutical cold storage ranges in a single cabinet.
- The solid door configuration across both compartments ensures optimal insulation and stable cold chain maintenance for both refrigerated and frozen pharmaceutical inventory, reducing thermal load during door-open events and supporting consistent temperature recovery in high-access clinical environments; explore temperature monitoring strategies for clinical cold storage to complement this unit’s alarm system.
- Cycle defrost in the refrigerator compartment and manual defrost in the freezer compartment provide application-appropriate defrost systems for each cold storage zone — the cycle defrost maintains consistent refrigerator temperatures without manual intervention, while the manual defrost freezer avoids the temperature fluctuations that auto-defrost cycles introduce in frozen pharmaceutical and biological specimen storage.
- Compliance-framed: UL/C-UL Listed with keyed door locks and audible/visual temperature alarms, this unit meets institutional cold storage certification requirements for pharmacies, clinical laboratories, blood bank environments, and healthcare facilities where documented cold chain compliance for both refrigerated and frozen pharmaceutical inventory is a regulatory requirement; the guide to medical-grade refrigeration standards explains what UL/C-UL listing means for pharmaceutical cold storage procurement.
- At 23¾” W × 24″ D × 65″ H and approximately 266 lbs, this unit’s compact floor-standing footprint provides space-efficient pharmaceutical refrigerator freezer combo cold storage suited to satellite pharmacy cold storage rooms, nursing station installations, and clinical lab environments where separate standalone refrigerator and freezer units would exceed available floor space.
- Lab managers and pharmacists rely on ARES Cool pharmacy cold storage equipment backed by ARES Scientific’s authorized distributor support, a two-year parts and labor warranty, and a three-year compressor parts warranty — covering both refrigerant systems within the combo unit across the full warranty period.
