Description

ARES Cool 4 cu. ft. Solid Door Undercounter Freestanding Freezer – Product Highlights

• ARES Cool proprietary cold storage line: This unit is part of ARES Cool, ARES Scientific’s exclusive laboratory and medical-grade cold storage brand, backed by ARES Scientific’s distributor support network and one-year parts and labor warranty.
• Compact undercounter freestanding design: At 20.25″ W × 21.625″ D × 31.5″ H, this freezer fits under standard lab benches and counters without requiring dedicated floor space, making it ideal for space-constrained labs, pharmacies, and clinical environments.
• Eco-friendly R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant: Operates on a CFC-free, low global-warming-potential refrigerant that reduces environmental impact while maintaining reliable freezing performance across the operating range.
• Mechanical thermostat temperature control: Provides straightforward, tool-free temperature adjustment without digital interface complexity, well-suited for routine cold storage workflows where consistent setpoint management is required.
• Manual defrost system: Supports controlled defrost cycles that allow lab managers and vivarium technicians to schedule maintenance without unplanned interruptions to stored specimens, reagents, or medications.
• Keyed door lock security: Protects sensitive contents — including controlled substances, blood products, cannabis extracts, and biological samples — from unauthorized access in multi-user facility environments.
• UL/C-UL Listed certification: Meets U.S. and Canadian electrical safety standards, supporting deployment in laboratory freezer environments where compliance with facility safety requirements is expected.
• White powder-coated steel exterior with high-density foam insulation: Combines durable exterior construction with thermal insulation engineered to maintain stable internal temperatures, reducing temperature recovery time after door access.
• Standard NEMA 5-15 plug at 110-120V / 0.9A: Operates on a standard household-style outlet with minimal amperage draw, requiring no dedicated electrical circuit or facility modification for laboratory cold storage deployment.
• Two fixed interior shelves: Organize up to 4 cu. ft. of cold storage capacity across two shelf levels, accommodating standard lab tube racks, small reagent containers, vials, and pharmacy cold chain inventory.
