Thermo Scientific TSX3005SD Refrigerator

The Thermo Scientific TSX3005SD lab refrigerator is designed with features that support sample protection and sustainability objectives for the storage of media, reagents, chemotherapy, pharmaceutical and other medical and laboratory-grade storage requiring 3° to 7°C.

Thermo Scientific TSX3005SD features

29.2 cubic foot capacity

Automatic defrost

208V, 60Hz electrical configuration

V-drive compressor technology

90-day warranty

The Series' V-drive technology is designed to provide temperature uniformity that continually adapts to user patterns, offering significant energy savings without compromising protection.

Featuring over 450W of reserve refrigeration capacity, the TSX series has the power to protect your product from temperature swings as a result of frequent and prolonged door access, large product loads, and other activities that introduce hear to the cabinet.

Unique V-drive technology is designed to detect usage patterns such as door openings when a higher compressor speed is needed and periods of stability where the compressor runs at a lower speed, saving the Thermo Scientific TSX3005SD Lab Refrigerator energy without compromising protection. Easy to use microprocessor control with interior light, setpoint security and alarms.

ACT Environmental Impact Factor Label Certified, providing third-party verification of the sustainable impacts of the product, its operations, and its end of life. Natural, R290 refrigerants and water-blown foam make the TSX Series compliant with EU F-GAS regulations, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP), and other Global Environmental Regulations.

Thermo Scientific TSX3005SD Lab Refrigerator – Frequently Asked Questions

What types of applications is the TSX3005SD best suited for?

This refrigerator is engineered for laboratory and clinical environments, including:

Pharmaceutical storage

Vaccine and biologics storage

Chemotherapy drug storage

Research and diagnostic labs

Is a refurbished Thermo TSX3005SD reliable?

Yes—when properly refurbished Thermo TSX cold storage equipment is very reliable and can provide years of dependable use. High-quality refurbishment includes:

Temperature calibration and validation

Compressor and refrigeration system testing

Alarm and control verification

Electrical safety checks

When tested to manufacturer specifications, a refurbished unit can deliver performance comparable to new at a significantly lower cost.

Why choose a refurbished TSX3005SD instead of buying new?

Purchasing a refurbished unit offers several advantages.

First, Cost Savings:Refurbished units typically cost 40–70% less than new models.

Second, Faster Availability: New units may have long lead times, while refurbished inventory is often ready to ship.

Third, Proven Performance: Refurbished units have already been field-tested and revalidated.

Fourth, Sustainability: Extending equipment life reduces environmental impact—aligned with the TSX series’ eco-friendly design.

Why not buy a TSX3005SD from an auction site?

While auctions may seem like a less expensive option, they come with significant risks:

No guaranteed testing or calibration

Unknown usage history

No warranty or support

Potential hidden repair costs

In contrast, professionally refurbished units are fully tested, validated, and supported, reducing risk and downtime.

What should I look for when buying a refurbished lab refrigerator?

Key factors include:

Verified temperature uniformity and stability

Functional alarms and controls

Clean, intact door seals and insulation

Documented testing procedures

Warranty coverage

These ensure the unit meets laboratory-grade performance standards, not just basic cooling.

What is the V-drive variable speed compressor? How does it help the performance of the Thermo TSX3005SD refrigerator?

“V-Drive” is shorthand for “Variable Drive” technology. Thermo has designed a cooling system that dynamically adjusts the compressor speed, meaning that the system can ramp up cooling when a door is opened and temperature recovery is needed quickly.

Once temperature recovery is achieved and the temp of the chamber has stabilized, the compressor speed slows. This ensures both temperature stability and energy efficient operation. Thermo TSX series refrigerators, freezers, and ultralow freezers all feature V-Drive technology.

How easily does the TSX3005SD move on its casters?

The casters allow users and lab personnel to easily move the TSX3005SD within the lab space, although transporting the unit from one location to another (i.e. loading onto a freight truck) is not recommended. So if you need to have mobility within your lab casters will provide that capability.

My Thermo TSX3005 isn’t cooling properly. Can you please help with this?

Yes, we sure do. Our technicians are able to repair a wide variety of laboratory equipment, including Thermo TSX fridges and other laboratory refrigerators. Our goal is for 48-hour turnaround for evaluation/diagnosis. Please contact us for more information.

Can you provide a chart recorder or other accessories with this model?

We can sometimes provide accessories including chart recorders, digital temp monitors, additional lock and security devices, and more. Please contact us with your specific requirements to discuss options.
