Countertop convenience
Thermo Scientific™ general purpose countertop -20°C freezers (GPF Series) are designed with minimal space consumption and maximum convenience in mind. From the exam room to the nurse’s station and more, our compact, lightweight GPF unit can sit atop the counter or workstation and fit beneath most overhead cabinets.
The Thermo Scientific countertop GPF weighs 44 pounds. This allows for easy transportation and placement within any laboratory or clinical setting, with a countertop footprint about the size of a microwave. The size and weight is designed to increase user efficiency and lessen physical strain, as there is no bending or squatting required. A top-mounted controller, reversible door and ergonomic handle contribute to its modern design, which allows for a convenient, practical approach to a busy day. Multiple GPFs in a medical facility allow for the convenient storage of daily doses of vaccines and pharmaceuticals requiring frozen storage in multiple locations.
Security and reliability
Our countertop GPF freezers are designed and equipped with the features needed for transient vaccine and pharmaceutical storage. For example, standard door locks provide users with the basic comfort and assurance of sample safety and validity, as well as peace of mind. We understand that temperature stability is a top priority in a laboratory or clinical environment. The countertop GPF has an excellent temperature recovery after door openings and closings while accessing medications, samples and reagents. The GPF is easy to operate, built for heavy yet reliable use, with straightforward functionality in mind.
SNAP compliant
Thermo Fisher Scientific is conscientious about the environment and meeting safe refrigerant standards. The Thermo Scientific Countertop GPF meets the standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program. SNAP evaluates chemicals that are harmful to the ozone and the health of human beings, regulating those chemicals - in this case refrigerants — and approving those that are environmentally safe while prohibiting the use of older refrigerants. The Thermo Scientific Countertop GPF features approved natural refrigerants and insulating materials, well in advance of any phase-out deadlines set by the EPA.
