Summit Undercounter General Medical Freezer Description:
The Summit VT65MLPLUS2 Undercounter General Medical Freezer is a 24” wide all-freezer designed for freestanding use, with a factory installed lock for added security. This manual defrost unit can hold temperatures as low as -25ºC, ideal for many vaccines and laboratory items. The door includes a thermometer calibrated to NIST standards in our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory. It displays the current, minimum, and maximum temperature to the nearest tenth degree viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The buffered temperature probe is stored in a glycol-filled bottle to ensure the temperature reading best reflects the temperature of other stored freezer contents. The interior features three removable storage baskets with clear plastic fronts for easy storage that stays cold, even when the door is opened.
This freezer can be paired with the auto defrost FF6LPLUS2 for a complete matching set.
Accucold’s PLUS2 series freezers are intended for a wide variety of basic storage only. Storage of high-value vaccines, life science materials, medical, or clinical biologicals require a product with design features including, but not limited to tighter temperature controls, monitoring, and/or back-up.

Product FAQ
What is the VT65MLPLUS2 and what is it used for?
The VT65MLPLUS2 is a compact 3.2 cu ft (~91 L) under-counter medical-grade all-freezer designed for secure storage of temperature-sensitive materials. It features manual defrost, a keyed lock, NIST-calibrated temperature monitoring and is capable of reaching approximately –25 °C for small footprint medical and laboratory use.
What are the key technical specifications?
• Capacity: 3.2 cu ft (~91 L)
• External dimensions: Height ~85 cm, Width ~60 cm, Depth ~60 cm; door-open depth ~117 cm
• Temperature range: Approx. –12 °C to –25 °C
• Defrost type: Manual
• Interior: Three clear pull-out storage drawers for organized separation
• Security/monitoring: Factory-installed keyed lock; digital thermometer displaying current, high/low temperatures
• Electrical (US version): 115 V AC / 60 Hz; approx. 1.3 amps
What safety and security features are included?
Features include:
– Keyed door lock for controlled access
– NIST-calibrated temperature display with high/low readouts
– Buffered temperature probe in a glycol-bottle to reflect stored-item temperature more accurately
– Magnetic door gasket, thick insulation for stable conditions
– Manual defrost design for reliability and uniform performance
Which environments is this unit best suited for?
Ideal for medical, laboratory or clinical storage settings where compact, low-temperature freezer capacity (~-25 °C) is required under counters or in tight spaces. Not designed for ultra-low (≤ -80 °C) storage without further validation.
Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical lead time: 3-5 business days when the unit is in stock and ready for dispatch.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is available. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance and GST
• Site access: confirm doorway/elevator clearance of approximately 60 cm width × 60 cm depth and allow ~117 cm front clearance for full door opening
• Electrical compatibility: US model is 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australia (230 V / 50 Hz) ensure export variant or use certified step-down transformer by a licensed electrician
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
Ships boxed and palletized; unpacked footprint approx. 85 cm H × 60 cm W × 60 cm D; door-open depth ~117 cm. Ensure the delivery pathway is level, firm and clear from vehicle to final installation site.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
Upon delivery inspect the outer packaging and unit for visible damage. Photograph any damage, keep packaging and delivery receipt, and contact your supplier with order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or arrange replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the VT65MLPLUS2?
1. Place the unit on a firm, level indoor surface or under-counter location in a climate-controlled room; allow clearance behind/top and at least ~117 cm front clearance for door opening.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet rated for the unit’s voltage.
3. Power the unit, set the thermostat to the target low-temperature range (~-25 °C) and let it stabilize for several hours (typically 4-6 hours) before loading sensitive contents.
What best practices should I follow when using this freezer?
• Arrange stored items with spacing to maintain airflow; avoid over-packing which can impede temperature uniformity.
• Label stored contents with batch number and date/time; apply first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation where applicable.
• Minimize door-open duration; rely on the external display and monitoring rather than frequent access.
• Regularly inspect the door gasket/seal, hinges/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 set 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 stable conditions return.
• Investigate the cause (door left open, ambient load surge, power/sensor fault).
• After stabilization, verify stored contents for integrity before resuming normal use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect gaskets, hinges, locks; ensure unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; verify thermometer/monitor and alarm functions.
• Periodically: Review any logged temperature deviation incidents, confirm calibration of monitoring equipment, and retain documented service/maintenance records for compliance.
