ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Solid Door Upright Pharmacy Refrigerator

Description

ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Solid Door Upright Pharmacy Refrigerator — Product Highlights

• Microprocessor temperature control with a digital touchpad display delivers precise, stable temperature regulation across the full interior volume — supporting vaccine cold chain maintenance, reagent refrigeration, and biologics storage in clinical laboratory and compounding pharmacy environments.
• ETL-listed electrical safety certification confirms the unit meets North American electrical safety standards, giving hospital pharmacies, QC laboratories, and GMP-adjacent facilities the compliance documentation needed for equipment qualification programs.
• Keyed solid door with temperature alarm provides dual-layer security for controlled substance storage contexts, audible high-low alarm notification for temperature excursions, and superior insulation compared to glass-door configurations — reducing thermal load during repeated access cycles.
• R290 natural hydrocarbon refrigerant delivers an eco-friendly, low-GWP refrigeration cycle that minimizes environmental impact and supports sustainability goals for laboratories, animal research facilities, and vivarium operations integrating green lab infrastructure targets.
• Full-height, vertical footprint at 23 cu. ft. provides large-capacity cold storage without expanding the floor plan horizontally — ideal for pharmacy cold storage, multi-shelf medication storage, and organized specimen access in space-constrained clinical or research facilities.
• Cycle defrost system maintains interior temperature stability during defrost intervals, preventing the temperature spikes that compromise reagent refrigeration, enzyme storage, and drug stability storage in pharmaceutical research and process development labs.
• Standard 115V operation requires no dedicated high-voltage circuits or special wiring — enabling straightforward plug-and-play lab refrigerator installation in hospital pharmacies, nursing stations, and preclinical research labs without facility infrastructure modifications.
• Two-year parts and labor warranty plus three-year compressor parts warranty, backed by ARES Scientific distributor support, provides long-term operational confidence for facilities that cannot tolerate unplanned cold storage downtime.
• ARES Cool proprietary cold storage line — the PH-ARS-HC-23S is part of ARES Scientific’s exclusive ARES Cool brand, distributed solely through ARES Scientific with full warranty support, technical assistance, and expert product support from a U.S. laboratory distributor.

Frequently Asked Questions — ARES Cool 23 cu. ft. Solid Door Upright Pharmacy Refrigerator

What is ARES Cool?

ARES Cool is ARES Scientific’s proprietary line of medical-grade and laboratory-grade cold storage equipment, designed and distributed exclusively by ARES Scientific to serve pharmacies, clinical laboratories, research institutions, vivariums, and pharmaceutical facilities requiring reliable, compliant temperature-controlled storage.

What temperature range does this pharmacy refrigerator maintain?

The ARES Cool PH-ARS-HC-23S is designed to maintain temperatures within the 1°C to 10°C range — covering the controlled refrigeration conditions required for pharmaceutical cold chain compliance, vaccine storage, medication refrigeration, and biological sample storage in clinical and research settings.

Is this unit suitable for pharmacy medication storage, including USP cold storage requirements?

Yes — with its 1°C to 10°C operating range, microprocessor temperature control, keyed door lock, and integrated temperature alarm, the PH-ARS-HC-23S is well-suited for pharmacy cold storage contexts including hospital pharmacies and compounding pharmacies where reliable controlled-temperature storage is required; facilities should verify their specific regulatory requirements against the unit’s documented specifications, and you can explore the ARES Scientific Pharmacy & Nursing industry page for additional guidance.

Does this refrigerator require special electrical wiring or a dedicated circuit?

No — the PH-ARS-HC-23S operates on standard 115V power and is ETL listed for North American electrical safety, making it a plug-and-play lab refrigerator that installs without dedicated high-voltage wiring or infrastructure modifications in most pharmacy, nursing station, and laboratory environments; consult your facility’s electrical standards to confirm compatibility with your specific installation, and review the key features guide for additional installation context.

What applications is this upright pharmacy refrigerator suitable for?

The PH-ARS-HC-23S supports a broad range of cold storage applications including medication refrigeration, vaccine storage, reagent refrigeration, biological sample storage, short-term specimen holding, and veterinary pharmaceutical refrigeration in hospital pharmacies, compounding pharmacies, clinical laboratories, biotech QC labs, and vivarium facilities.

How does this solid door model compare to a glass door pharmacy refrigerator?

The solid door configuration of the PH-ARS-HC-23S provides superior thermal insulation compared to glass door models, reducing internal temperature fluctuation during access cycles — making it the preferred choice for light-sensitive pharmaceuticals, controlled substance storage, and high-security medication storage environments where visual inventory access is less critical than thermal stability; for applications prioritizing visual stock checks, ARES Cool also offers refrigerator and freezer combo and glass door configurations across the product line.
