True Scientific supplies medical and laboratory refrigerators engineered for the strict storage requirements of vaccines, reagents, biologics, and chromatography supplies. When a standard household refrigerator cannot deliver the temperature stability that clinical and laboratory samples require, True Scientific units are built specifically to meet that need.
This collection brings together the brand's core lines: undercounter and full-size laboratory refrigerators, chromatography refrigerators with HPLC mast options, and CDC and NSF 456 compliant vaccine and pharmacy grade refrigerators, all built around R290 refrigerant and precise temperature control.
Laboratory Refrigerators
True Scientific's laboratory refrigerator line covers a range of capacities and door styles. The True Scientific TSCI-150LR Undercounter Laboratory Refrigerator offers 4.72 cubic feet of storage for space-limited settings, while the True Scientific TSCI-450LR, TSCI-550LR, and TSCI-600LR Laboratory Refrigerators scale up to 22.13 cubic feet for larger labs. Each model is available with a solid or glass door, runs on R290 refrigerant, and maintains a 2 to 10 degree Celsius range with auto defrost.
Chromatography Refrigerators
For labs storing chromatography supplies, buffers, and tall reagent containers, the True Scientific TSCI-450CR, TSCI-550CR, and TSCI-600CR Chromatography Refrigerators offer capacities from 15.46 to 22.13 cubic feet, glass or solid door options, and an HPLC mast option for column storage, all within the same 2 to 10 degree Celsius range and R290 refrigerant platform.
Vaccine and Pharmacy Refrigerators
True Scientific's pharmacy grade line is built for CDC compliant vaccine storage. The True Scientific TSCI-150PR, TSCI-450PR, TSCI-550PR, and TSCI-600PR Vaccine Refrigerators maintain a 2 to 8 degree Celsius range and meet CDC and NSF 456 guidelines, with solid or glass door options across undercounter and full-size formats. For higher-volume storage, the True Scientific TSCI-1000R and TSCI-1200R Upright Vaccine Refrigerators offer 38.2 and 43.9 cubic feet of CDC and NSF 456 compliant glass-door storage for pharmacies, clinics, and vaccination centers.
Temperature Control and Safety Features
True Scientific units are built with digital temperature displays, high and low temperature alarms, door-ajar and power failure alerts, self-closing doors with magnetic gaskets, and adjustable coated-steel shelving to accommodate different bottle and vial sizes. All models use R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, a non-ozone-depleting alternative to older HFC-based systems, supporting both compliance and energy efficiency goals.
Choosing the Right True Scientific Refrigerator
Start with the storage requirement: vaccines and medications call for a pharmacy grade unit maintaining 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, while general reagents and chromatography supplies can use the wider 2 to 10 degree Celsius range of the laboratory and chromatography lines. Match capacity to available space, from undercounter units for small clinics to upright models for high-volume labs and pharmacies, and choose a glass door for quick visual inventory checks or a solid door for maximum insulation and temperature retention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What temperature range do True Scientific laboratory refrigerators maintain?
A: The laboratory and chromatography refrigerator lines maintain 2 to 10 degrees Celsius, while the pharmacy grade vaccine refrigerators maintain a tighter 2 to 8 degree Celsius range for CDC compliance.
Q: Does this collection include freezers?
A: The current True Scientific lineup on this collection consists of laboratory, chromatography, and vaccine refrigerators. Contact us if you are looking for freezer options elsewhere in our catalog.
Q: What is the difference between the laboratory and chromatography refrigerators?
A: Both maintain the same 2 to 10 degree Celsius range, but the chromatography refrigerators add an HPLC mast option for storing columns and tall reagent containers.
Q: Are True Scientific vaccine refrigerators CDC compliant?
A: Yes. The TSCI-PR and TSCI-R-G-PH series are built to CDC and NSF 456 guidelines for vaccine and biologic storage.
Q: What refrigerant do True Scientific units use?
A: All True Scientific refrigerators use R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, a non-ozone-depleting alternative to older HFC-based refrigerants.
Q: Should I choose a glass door or solid door model?
A: Glass doors allow quick visual inventory checks without opening the unit, while solid doors offer better insulation and more consistent temperature retention.
