ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Single Glass Door Stainless Steel Laboratory Refrigerator

Description

ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Single Glass Door Stainless Steel Laboratory Refrigerator – Product Highlights

• Occupying a distinct mid-capacity position in the ARES Cool upright refrigerator range, this 23 cu. ft. single-door unit provides single-access glass door laboratory refrigeration suited to research labs, pharmacy cold storage rooms, blood bank environments, and vivarium installations where a dual-door 49 cu. ft. unit exceeds available width or where single-door access workflow better matches the facility’s cold storage usage patterns.
• The self-closing single swing glass door with keyed lock provides full-height visibility of all four shelf levels without opening the cabinet, enabling at-a-glance refrigerated inventory monitoring for vaccines, reagents, medications, biological samples, blood products, and cannabis extracts in high-access clinical and research environments where reducing door-open frequency supports cold chain stability.
• A cycle defrost system maintains uniform cabinet temperature distribution automatically while minimizing energy consumption, providing energy-efficient refrigeration temperature uniformity across the 1°C to 10°C operating range — a broader general laboratory refrigeration range than the ARES Cool pharmacy-specific 2°C to 8°C models, covering reagent cold storage, enzyme preservation, biological sample refrigeration, and pharmaceutical cold chain applications in a single unit; see how medical-grade refrigeration design supports these applications.
• A built-in probe access port enables direct integration with external temperature data loggers and monitoring systems, supporting continuous laboratory cold storage temperature documentation for GLP/GMP compliance, institutional cold chain audit readiness, and pharmaceutical cold chain verification without requiring door-open access or compromising cabinet insulation integrity.
• Four adjustable shelves across the 23 cu. ft. interior accommodate varied container heights and formats — including large flasks, bulk reagent bottles, sample racks, and pharmaceutical storage trays — providing flexible mid-capacity lab refrigerator shelf configuration that the fixed-shelf freezer models in the ARES Cool line cannot offer; swivel casters allow repositioning during facility reconfiguration without utility disconnection; explore the full ARES Scientific refrigerator portfolio to compare capacity and door configuration options.
• Operating on R290 natural propane, ETL Listed conforming to UL471, with stainless steel exterior construction and high-density urethane foam insulation, this unit meets ARES Cool laboratory refrigerator compliance and durability standards for institutional procurement across research universities, biopharma manufacturers, hospital pharmacies, blood banks, and vivarium facilities, backed by ARES Scientific’s two-year parts and labor warranty and three-year compressor parts warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions – ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Single Glass Door Stainless Steel Laboratory Refrigerator

What is ARES Cool?

ARES Cool is ARES Scientific’s proprietary line of laboratory and medical-grade cold storage equipment, designed and sold exclusively through ARES Scientific to serve research laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, blood banks, vivariums, pathology departments, clinical facilities, and cannabis operations — the ARS-HC-SSP-23G is the large-capacity stainless steel glass door laboratory refrigerator in the ARES Cool line, purpose-built for facilities requiring 23 cu. ft. of 1°C to 10°C temperature-controlled cold storage with remote alarm contacts, probe access capability, and stainless steel construction for GMP-compatible laboratory refrigeration.

What are remote alarm contacts and how are they used?

Remote alarm contacts on the ARS-HC-SSP-23G are electrical output connections that allow the unit’s high and low temperature alarm signals to interface with external monitoring systems — including facility building automation systems (BAS), centralized laboratory temperature monitoring platforms, data acquisition systems, and remote notification services — enabling cold chain alert signals to be captured and acted upon by facility infrastructure beyond the unit’s onboard audible and visual alarms; this capability is particularly important for pharmaceutical GMP environments with 21 CFR Part 11 documentation requirements, blood bank operations with after-hours monitoring protocols, and research facilities with centralized laboratory refrigerator monitoring systems.

What is the probe access port used for?

The probe access port allows external temperature probes, calibrated data loggers, and temperature mapping sensors to be inserted into the refrigerator cabinet interior without opening the door — supporting IQOQ installation and operational qualification temperature studies, GMP cold storage validation and temperature mapping documentation, continuous external monitoring with independently calibrated instruments, and regulatory documentation requirements for pharmaceutical, blood bank, and research laboratory refrigerators where internal temperature verification by an independent sensor is required alongside the unit’s onboard display.

How does this laboratory refrigerator differ from the ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Stainless Steel Pharmacy Refrigerator?

The ARS-HC-SSP-23G (laboratory) and PH-ARS-HC-SSP-23G (pharmacy) share identical external dimensions, the same 1°C to 10°C temperature range, stainless steel construction, self-closing glass door, swivel casters, R290 refrigerant, ETL listing, and three-year compressor warranty; the laboratory model adds remote alarm contacts and a probe access port — features that support GMP validation documentation, centralized cold chain monitoring integration, and external temperature verification — and is positioned for research laboratory and pharmaceutical manufacturing applications rather than the pharmacy-specific workflows of the PH-ARS-HC-SSP-23G; buyers should select based on whether remote alarm integration and probe access are required for their monitoring protocol.

What circuit requirements does this unit have?

The ARS-HC-SSP-23G requires a 115V circuit with a minimum 15A capacity via a NEMA 5-15 plug; a dedicated 15A circuit is standard practice for large-capacity laboratory refrigerator installations and prevents breaker interference in shared-circuit laboratory cold storage areas; facilities should plan circuit allocation during pre-installation site preparation and also account for the door swing (24.5 in) and total open depth (60.75 in) when planning laboratory cold storage layouts to ensure adequate clearance for full door access to the 23 cu. ft. cabinet; the ARES Scientific resource on real-time temperature monitoring in clinical and research laboratories provides additional guidance on laboratory refrigerator infrastructure planning.

What applications is this stainless steel laboratory refrigerator used for?

The ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Single Glass Door Stainless Steel Laboratory Refrigerator is used in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities requiring GMP-compatible laboratory refrigerators with remote alarm and probe monitoring capability, research laboratories with centralized temperature monitoring infrastructure, blood bank operations with remote cold chain alert integration, vivarium supply rooms, pathology departments, cannabis extraction facilities, and university and industrial research institutions where stainless steel construction, probe access, and remote alarm contact capability are selection criteria alongside 23 cu. ft. of 1°C to 10°C cold storage capacity.
