ARES Cool 30 cu. ft. Single Swing Solid Door Manual Defrost Laboratory Freezer

Description

ARES Cool 30 cu. ft. Single Swing Solid Door Manual Defrost Laboratory Freezer – Product Highlights

• At 30 cu. ft., this unit is the largest-capacity upright freezer in the ARES Cool line, providing high-volume pharmaceutical and laboratory frozen storage for central blood bank frozen product inventories, bulk pharmaceutical frozen programs, large shared-access research lab frozen sample collections, cannabis extract cold storage, and vivarium frozen supply cold storage where the 14 and 17 cu. ft. ARES Cool upright freezer models do not provide sufficient frozen storage volume.
• Specialized fast-freeze compartments within the cabinet provide dedicated zones for rapid temperature pull-down of newly added frozen inventory — minimizing the thermal burden on existing frozen samples and pharmaceutical inventory when new materials are introduced, a workflow advantage particularly valuable in high-throughput blood bank, research laboratory, and pharmaceutical frozen storage environments where freezer access and restocking occur throughout the day.
• Manual defrost maintains uninterrupted frozen cold chain temperature stability at -15°C to -25°C by eliminating the periodic temperature excursions that auto-defrost heating cycles introduce — protecting pharmaceutical frozen inventory, biological specimens, and blood products across the full 30 cu. ft. frozen storage volume where even brief warming events during an auto-defrost cycle can compromise the integrity of high-value frozen materials; see how manual defrost affects blood bank and pharmaceutical cold storage selection.
• Four fixed shelves across the 35.75″ W × 35″ D cabinet provide large-format frozen storage shelf space suited to bulk frozen container formats, large pharmaceutical storage racks, blood product bags, and high-volume frozen reagent and enzyme collections that the narrower 14 and 17 cu. ft. upright freezer interiors cannot accommodate — with the structural stability of fixed shelves preferred in high-volume institutional frozen storage where consistent shelf positioning supports organized inventory management.
• Comprehensive alarm coverage — audible and visual high temperature, low temperature, sensor error, and power failure alerts — combined with a keyed door lock and UL/C-UL Listing provides institutional-grade frozen storage security and compliance certification for research universities, hospital blood banks, biopharma manufacturers, and regulated pharmacy and clinical environments requiring documented cold chain compliance for large frozen inventory volumes, backed by ARES Scientific’s two-year parts and labor warranty and five-year compressor parts warranty; explore all ARES Scientific freezer options to match the right capacity to your facility’s frozen storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions — ARES Cool 30 cu. ft. Solid Door Upright Manual Defrost Laboratory Freezer

What is ARES Cool?

ARES Cool is ARES Scientific’s proprietary line of research-grade and professional cold storage equipment distributed exclusively by ARES Scientific, serving vivarium and animal research facilities, clinical laboratories, cannabis storage operations, pharmacy programs, and research institutions requiring dependable, professionally specified frozen and refrigerated cold storage solutions.

What temperature range does this laboratory freezer maintain?

The ARES Cool ARS-MFP-30 operates between -15°C and -25°C (5°F to -13°F), covering the standard medium-temperature frozen storage range for frozen reagents, enzyme storage, competent cells, PCR reagent storage, pharmacy frozen medication storage, cannabis concentrate cold storage, and veterinary pharmaceutical frozen storage in vivarium and animal research facility environments.

Is this unit suitable for pharmacy frozen medication storage?

Yes — the ARS-MFP-30 carries “Pharmacy freezers” product classification, and its -15°C to -25°C operating range, microprocessor temperature controller, comprehensive alarm system, and keyed door lock support pharmacy freezer applications including frozen medication storage and biologics storage at compounding pharmacies and hospital pharmacy departments; facilities should verify their specific regulatory requirements against the unit’s documented specifications, and the cold storage feature selection guide covers key compliance considerations for healthcare frozen storage contexts.

Does this freezer require a dedicated electrical circuit?

The ARS-MFP-30 requires a 110–120V AC, 15A minimum circuit with a NEMA 5-15 plug — a 15-amp circuit is recommended to support the unit’s power draw, and while no specialized high-voltage wiring is needed, facilities should confirm circuit availability before installation; most vivarium procedure rooms, clinical laboratories, pharmacy areas, and cannabis storage environments can accommodate this requirement without infrastructure modifications, and the lab refrigeration requirements guide provides additional installation planning context.

What applications is this upright lab freezer suitable for?

The ARS-MFP-30 supports a broad range of frozen storage applications including frozen reagent and enzyme storage, PCR reagent storage, competent cell storage, veterinary pharmaceutical frozen storage in vivarium and anoprietary cold storage line — the ARS-MFP-30 is distributed exclusively through ARES Scientific with a two-year parts and labor warranty, five-year compressor parts warranty, backed by ARES Scientific distributor support and technical assistance; for facilities requiring both refrigerated and frozen storage, explore laboratory refrigerator and freezer combo units.
