Summit FS-60M Upright Manual Defrost Laboratory Freezer -21°C, 5 cu.ft. Capacity

The Summit FS-60M is a compact, upright laboratory freezer optimized for biomedical and biotechnology applications requiring reliable low-temperature storage. Featuring a 5.0 cu.ft. (142 L) capacity and a slim 22-inch width, it is ideal for laboratories with limited space needing additional refrigerated storage for biological samples. It operates at a consistent -21°C, critical for preserving molecular diagnostics reagents, clinical specimens, and bioprocessing materials.

Key technical specifications and features include:

• Manual defrost operation that conserves energy and reduces maintenance complexity
• Two open wire shelves and three door racks enhancing organized sample storage and airflow for uniform cooling
• An adjustable dial thermostat allowing precise temperature regulation for sensitive biotechnology samples
• Utilizes environmentally safe R134a refrigerant with CFC-free design, aligning with green laboratory standards
• Electrical requirements: 120V, 60Hz with a power consumption of 321 kWh/year, and current draw of 1.1 amps
• Interior height: 29.5 inches, supporting vertical storage of tubes, plates, and small equipment
• Durable white door with minimal cosmetic wear, ensuring proper insulation and temperature stability

The Summit FS-60M freezer is widely used in clinical diagnostics, synthetic biology workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where controlled low-temperature storage is essential. Its reliable performance and energy-efficient manual defrost system make it critical infrastructure for labs focusing on gene editing, live-cell sample preservation, and molecular biology research requiring stable cold chain management.
