Laboratory Refrigerators

Laboratory Refrigerators

Laboratory refrigerators include general-purpose refrigerators designed for daily use in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories, and undercounter refrigerators designed for healthcare and research applications.

DESCRIPTION

Laboratory refrigerators typically maintain internal temperatures between 2° and 8°C.

Most laboratory refrigerators provide more stable temperatures than commercial refrigerators. Temperatures in stand-alone units (without freezers) are especially not affected by the frequent warming and cooling cycles required for frost-free operation.
