Laboratory refrigerators are designed to hold reagents, biological samples, and medications. Depending on the manufacturer, refrigerators come with various features and choices. The temperature ranges might differ across models. Combined with refrigerators and freezers, there are often two separate compartments: one for freezing and one for refrigeration.
What to consider when purchasing Laboratory Refrigerators?
In addition to the refrigerator's intended use, evaluate other features such as:
- Temperature range: It is an essential factor. According to DIN 58345, refrigerator temperatures should fall between 2 - 8 °C.
- Types and number of refrigerator doors: A refrigerator may include as many as four doors. Some variants include glass and solid doors too.
- Configuration: This should always be examined concerning the available space in the laboratory or pharmacy.
- Materials:Type of materials for storage
- Liters: The device's storage capacity is vital and dictated by your activity level.
What is the role of the Laboratory Refrigerator?
- Refrigerators for pharmacy: Pharmacy refrigerators may be used to maintain the safety of medications and vaccines. They provide dependable cooling and temperature consistency. In the case of a power outage or when the refrigerator door is left open, you will get an alarm signal. There is a safety mechanism to defend against temperatures below 0 ° C. To prevent sensitive medicine from being used without authorization, many medication refrigerators have a locking mechanism.
- Refrigerators for laboratories: The primary purpose of laboratory refrigerators is the preservation of materials or chemicals. Laboratory freezers must maintain a steady temperature to reduce the risk of explosion or cross-contamination with volatile substances. They often include an internal fan to circulate air and keep a steady temperature. The fan turns off when the door is opened to prevent the escape of chill air. Separate compartments in these freezers avoid cross-contamination. These coolers are suitable for storing blood and vaccinations. In labs and blood banks, blood bank refrigerators are used for the storage of blood.
How can you guarantee that items are stored at the correct temperature?
As we have seen, most refrigerators have a temperature monitoring system. If the temperature is exceeded, alarms may be programmed to sound.
