Undercounter & Countertop Freezer -40°C, 3.2 cu.ft., Manual Defrost Overview
The Undercounter & Countertop Freezer -40°C, 3.2 cu.ft., Manual Defrost (model UCF101B) from Yamato Scientific is an upright laboratory freezer built for benchtop and undercounter installation. Reaching a control range of -20°C to -40°C, it serves pharmacy and research storage where deep-freeze temperatures matter. LabSupplies.com stocks this unit as an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer.
Construction pairs a painted steel exterior with a painted aluminum interior, while high-density urethane foam insulation (US EPA/SNAP approved) holds thermal stability. Two adjustable shelves plus a base shelf organize samples, and a 1" access port accepts external probes. Direct cooling and an R290 hermetic compressor drive the refrigeration system.
Power comes from a 115V, 60 Hz single-phase supply through a NEMA 5-15 plug. Exterior dimensions of 24" × 24" × 33" and a 150 lb shipping weight fit standard lab casework, aided by two front leveling legs and two rear casters. Built in China, the unit carries UL listing and Energy Star recognition.
