These pharmaceutical refrigerators deliver a stable, reliable temperature control for clinical, pharmaceutical, biomedical storage and processing. Fast recovery following door openings assures safe storage during times of frequent access and high ambient conditions and to remove heat loads generated by powered instruments.
- Positive airflow assures quick recovery, interior uniformity and prevents temperature stratification
- Precision temperature control protects inventory
- Microprocessor controls simplify operation
- Adjustable shelves offer flexibility in storage options
- Ideal for storage or process instrumentation
- Cycle defrost function
- High performance cooling with EPA SNAP compliant refrigerants
Vertical, forced air circulation with dual blower creates a uniform temperature at all shelf or drawer levels, top to bottom and front to back. Internal shelf or drawer clearances permit the positive airflow also restores temperature to setpoint following door openings, and safely accommodates busy, high traffic demand for access to stored contents in pharmacies, clinics and hospitals. These pharmaceutical refrigerators operate over a temperature range of 2 to 23 °C, adjustable in 1.0 °C increments. Actual interior air temperature is displayed to 0.1 °C.
The top-mounted air circulation blower creates a circular airflow within the chamber to provide uniform temperatures at all shelf levels to enhance and protect viability of stored product. Regardless of location, all products are subjected to the same safe temperature to assure repeatability of stored product viability. A microprocessor controller monitors all functions. Setpoint is factory set at 5 °C. A soft key interface allows setpoint adjustment throughout the operating range. Audible and visual warnings indicate a door ajar or temperature deviation from setpoint. The large easy-to-read LED display confirms actual temperature.
Refrigerator 76355-506 includes four open-wire shelves strong enough to hold bulk loads. Refrigerator 76355-508 is equipped with heavy-duty, fully-extendable painted steel pull-out drawers for more convenient access to stored product such as large bottles or reagent kits. The open wire shelves are adjustable to allow for loads of varying heights such as bulk storage or process equipment such as fraction collectors. The model with pull-out drawers offers a practical solution with additional ergonomic advantages.
The pharmaceutical refrigerator is configured to provide close temperature control for both storage and process applications where heat is generated from instrumentation or apparatus. A powerful refrigeration system using high performance compressors and components delivers fast temperature pull-down, recovery and tolerance for high ambient temperature conditions. Energy efficiency helps improve LEED scores and contribute to global sustainability.
The cycle defrost and evaporator temperature sensor system ensures that defrost occurs only when necessary and automatically, so there is no need to turn off the power for defrosting. Irregular temperature increase during defrost is minimal with no temperature spikes. The evaporation heater also doubles as protection against drops in cabinet temperature caused by a low ambient temperature.
