  2. Enhanced Sample Security – Features include remote-contact alarms, temperature logging, and keyed locks, with pharmacy models meeting NSF 456 vaccine storage standards.
  3. User-Friendly Design – The intuitive touchscreen, quiet operation (under 53 dB), and efficient temperature management ensure ease of use and reliable performance.

Thermo Fisher Scientific introduces the Thermo Scientific TSG Series Freezers and Sample Preparation Refrigerator, built specifically for laboratory and research environments and users who need consistent, reliable performance without sacrificing usability. The purpose-built TSG Series refrigerators and freezers offer energy-efficient, quiet and intuitive operation with effective temperature control to help ensure sample integrity.

TSG Series Help Support External Sustainability Objectives

TSG Series refrigerators and freezers are designed to help support external sustainability objectives, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) and the European Union’s F-gas Regulations. They have also been ENERGY STAR certified and can help reduce lab energy consumption by up to 10% compared to previous models. The TSG Series is manufactured in a zero-waste-to-landfill factory in Asheville, North Carolina and comes with an extended 4-year warranty, which can help eliminate some of the environmental impact from end-of-life disposal.

The refrigerators, freezers and sample preparation refrigerators in this series include heat-free defrost, efficient door-open recovery and temperature uniformity to help protect sample integrity. There are remote-contact alarms for low- or high-temperature readings and power failure, door-ajar alarms and data logging of high and low temperatures and alarm events. Each unit also includes keyed door locks that are compatible with e-lock adapters. 

The TSG Series pharmacy refrigerators adhere to NSF 456 vaccine storage standards, helping provide the security and temperature stability needed for vaccines and other pharmaceuticals.

Intuitive User Interface

The bright, easy-to-read touchscreen on TSG Series refrigerators and freezers is intuitive, with easy access to the temperature setpoint, alarm logs and settings. The TSG Series refrigerators and freezers offer quiet operation through internal design elements that reduce the acoustic footprint of each unit to below 53 decibels.

The sample preparation refrigerators feature an interior outlet that offers 

an easy setup for benchtop equipment or an apparatus within the chamber, helping researchers shake, spin, and agitate samples in a temperature-controlled environment without the need for specialty benchtop equipment.

“Temperature variation can impact the viability and efficacy of vaccines, medication, reagents, and other temperature-sensitive materials and can shorten product shelf life, degrade samples and reduce vaccine effectiveness,” says Dennis Howe, vice president and general manager, Controlled Temperature Technologies at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “With the TSG Series, we’re proud to offer quieter and more sustainable models that don’t compromise temperature control and sample security so laboratory professionals can feel confident in their cold storage tools and focus on their research.”

TSG Series Includes Four Options

The TSG Series refrigerators and freezers include four options for a variety of cold storage applications: glass-door refrigerators, solid-door refrigerators, pharmacy refrigerators and auto-defrost freezers. The TSG Series sample prep refrigerators include a single- and double-door model.

Sustainable Design and Development: ENERGY STAR certified, EPA SNAP compliant and E.U. F-Gas compliant, and manufactured in a zero-waste facility in the U.S.

Precise Temperature Control: Offer heat-free defrost or auto-defrost, double-pane glass or insulated solid doors, self-closing doors with 90° stop and powerful door-open recovery to maintain temperature control.

Sample Security: Remote-contact temperature, power failure, door ajar alarms, and keyed door locks compatible with popular e-lock adapters. Pharmacy-specific units comply with NSF 456 vaccine storage standards and include an additional temperature display probe.

Extended Warranty: 4-year warranty with complete parts and labor coverage.

Quiet Operation: The TSG Series offers quiet operation at less than 53 dB, about the same as an at-home refrigerator.

Intuitive Features: Easy-to-use touchscreen provides easy access to controls, alarms and settings. Each unit features bright LED interior lighting and lockable casters for easy maneuvering.
