The VT65MLBIMED is a 3.2 cu ft (~91 L) under-counter medical-grade all-freezer designed for built-in or under-bench use in clinical, laboratory or pharmaceutical settings. It is engineered for low-temperature storage of sensitive materials and supports temperatures down to approximately –25 °C.
What are the key technical specifications?
• Capacity: 3.2 cu ft (~91 L)
• Approximate external dimensions: Height ~81 cm, Width ~60 cm, Depth ~60 cm; door-open depth ~115 cm
• Temperature capability: approx. –12 °C to –25 °C
• Defrost type: Manual (static cooling)
• Interior: Three pull-out basket drawers or clear storage drawers for organized low-temperature storage
• Security/monitoring: Factory-installed keyed lock; high/low temperature alarm; external probe port for monitoring
• Electrical (US model): 115 V AC / 60 Hz
What safety and security features are included?
Features include:
– Keyed lock for secure access

– External probe access port for third-party monitoring
– Thick insulation and magnetic door gasket for consistent low-temperature performance
Which environments is this unit best suited for?
Ideal for laboratories, medical storage rooms, pharmacies or clinics requiring compact built-in freezer capacity around –25 °C under benches. Not intended for ultra-low (≤ –80 °C) applications without separate validation.
Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical lead time is approximately 3–5 business days when the unit is in stock.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is available. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia you should consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance and GST.
• Site access: ensure doorways/elevators can accommodate approx. 60 cm width × 60 cm depth and allow front clearance ~115 cm for door-opening.
• Electrical compatibility: The US version is rated for 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australia (230 V / 50 Hz) you must order the correct export variant or use a certified step-down transformer installed by a licensed electrician.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships boxed and palletized; unpacked footprint approx. 81 cm H × 60 cm W × 60 cm D; door-open depth ~115 cm. Ensure the delivery path is level, firm and clear from vehicle to installation site.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
Inspect the outer packaging and unit upon arrival for visible damage. Photograph any damage, retain packaging and delivery receipt, and contact your supplier with order and tracking details to initiate a freight claim or arrange replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the VT65MLBIMED?
1. Install under-bench or on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled room; allow clearance behind/top and at least ~115 cm front clearance for door opening.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the unit’s voltage specification.
3. Power on the unit, set the thermostat to the target low-temperature range (around –25 °C) and allow approximately 4–6 hours for internal temperature stabilization before loading sensitive materials.
What best practices should I follow when using this freezer?
• Load items into the drawers with spacing for airflow; avoid over-packing which may impair cooling uniformity.
• Label contents with batch number and date/time; apply first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation where applicable.
• Minimize door-opening events to maintain consistent low internal temperature.
• Regularly inspect door gasket/seal, hinges and lock mechanism; ensure the unit remains level and interior surfaces are clean and frost-free.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If internal temperature rises above or falls below the target range or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature deviation and impacted contents.
• Transfer critical items to validated backup freezer storage until conditions stabilize.
• Investigate the cause (door left open, ambient load surge, power or sensor fault).
• Once internal temperature returns to the desired range and stabilizes, inspect stored contents for integrity before resuming standard use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gasket/seal, hinges, lock; ensure unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; verify thermostat/alarm functionality.
• Periodically: Review logged temperature data (if external monitoring used), confirm calibration of monitoring equipment and keep service/maintenance records for compliance tracking.
