ARES Cool MFP Series Manual Defrost Laboratory Freezers – Available in 14, 17, and 20 cu. ft. Models

Description ARES Cool MFP Series Manual Defrost Upright Laboratory Freezer – Product Highlights Maintaining stable temperature performance between −15°C and −25°C, the MFP Series relies on a microprocessor controller with a clear digital display to give lab managers and pharmacy technicians precise, at-a-glance monitoring of cold chain conditions at all times. The manual defrost system prevents the uncontrolled temperature fluctuations caused by automatic defrost cycling, preserving the molecular integrity of biological samples, frozen reagents, enzymes, and other stored materials that are sensitive to repeated freeze-thaw exposure. Designed for upright freestanding installation, the 14, 17, and 20 cu. ft. cabinet configurations offer flexible capacity options for labs scaling from a single-bench environment to multi-station research or clinical cold storage rooms without requiring custom infrastructure. Forced draft circulation within the cabinet promotes consistent cold chain control throughout the interior, reducing hot spots and temperature gradients that can compromise specimen preservation in blood bank, pathology, and vivarium cold storage applications, as discussed in our resource on real-time temperature monitoring in clinical and research labs. Meeting pharmacy cold storage requirements and clinical lab cold chain standards, the MFP Series is appropriate for medication storage, frozen biological samples, and blood product storage environments that must align with USP <1> and blood bank cold storage guidance — explore ARES Scientific’s full range of solutions for the pharmacy and nursing industry. Utilizing a hydrocarbon refrigerant that complies with EPA/SNAP mandates and carries CFC-free, low-global-warming-potential certification, the MFP Series supports sustainability goals in LEED-focused labs and institutions prioritizing environmental compliance in their equipment procurement. With an ETL listing and ENERGY STAR certification, the MFP Series meets established benchmarks for electrical safety and energy efficiency, reducing operating costs in facilities running multiple cold storage units continuously, including high-throughput research environments and blood bank cold storage rooms. The keyed door lock and state-switching remote alarm contacts provide an added layer of security and monitoring integration, enabling facilities to connect the freezer to building management or laboratory alarm systems for automatic notification of temperature excursions or unauthorized access events. Backed by ARES Scientific’s distributor support and warranty, the ARES Cool MFP Series is part of ARES Scientific’s proprietary cold storage portfolio, available through blood bank, vivarium, and laboratory procurement channels with direct access to ARES Scientific’s technical team at 720-283-0177 ext. 2. White powder-coated steel construction with high-density urethane foam insulation delivers the structural durability and thermal efficiency required for continuous operation in clinical labs, research institutions, cannabis processing facilities, and other demanding cold storage environments.
