ARES Cool 10 Cu. Ft. Solid Door Combo Pharmacy Refrigerator/Freezer (-40°C)

Description

ARES Cool 10 cu. ft. Solid Door Combo Pharmacy Refrigerator/Freezer (-40°C) – Product Highlights

• The -40°C freezer compartment represents the deepest frozen storage temperature in the ARES Cool combo line, providing ultra-low pharmaceutical frozen storage for lyophilized biologics, critical research specimens, certain frozen plasma products, and pharmaceutical materials requiring storage below the -30°C threshold of the standard ARES Cool deep-freeze combo model — alongside a 2°C to 8°C refrigerator for concurrent vaccine, medication, and biological sample cold storage in a single compact floor-standing cabinet.
• The solid door configuration on both the refrigerator and freezer compartments delivers maximum dual-zone thermal insulation, supporting stable cold chain conditions in both zones during door-open events and reducing the energy demand associated with temperature recovery — particularly critical at -40°C where temperature recovery from a door-open event requires significantly more compressor work than at -20°C or -30°C.
• Manual defrost in the -40°C freezer compartment prevents the temperature excursions that auto-defrost heating cycles introduce, protecting ultra-low frozen pharmaceutical and biological specimen integrity at the deepest cold chain temperatures available in the ARES Cool combo portfolio; the cycle defrost refrigerator section handles maintenance automatically without requiring manual intervention for the 2°C–8°C pharmaceutical cold storage zone; see why lab-grade cold storage differs from consumer appliances for context on defrost type selection.
• Independently optimized dual hydrocarbon refrigerants — R600a for the refrigerator and R290 for the -40°C freezer — provide zone-specific eco-friendly cold storage performance with CFC-free, low-global-warming-potential refrigerants across both pharmaceutical cold storage zones within a single cabinet requiring only a standard 115V electrical connection.
• UL/C-UL Listed with keyed door locks and temperature alarms, this unit meets institutional pharmaceutical cold storage compliance requirements for facilities choosing between the -30°C and -40°C solid door ARES Cool combo models based on their specific frozen pharmaceutical, blood product, or biological specimen temperature requirements; backed by ARES Scientific’s two-year parts and labor warranty and three-year compressor parts warranty covering both refrigerant systems; explore the full ARES Cool refrigerator and freezer combo range to compare all available dual-zone configurations.
