VWR VWR-HC-PLD-23-TS Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Glass Door Refrigerator Variable Speed Compressor, R600a, 23 cu. ft.

VWR VWR-HC-PLD-23-TS Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Glass Door Refrigerator Variable Speed Compressor, Automated Data Logging and USB Export, R600a, 23 cu. ft.

The VWR Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Glass Door Refrigerator (Catalog No: 77695-998 / Model: VWR-HC-PLD-23-TS), supplied by VWR International, is a high-performance 23 cubic foot (651 L) cold storage unit engineered for critical biological, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratory applications requiring immediate visual access, precise thermal control, and digital data management. Powered by a hermetic Variable Speed Compressor (VSC) operating across a 1300–4000 rpm speed range, this unit dynamically self-adjusts to internal cooling demands to optimize energy efficiency (1.16 kWh/day), lower heat rejection (320 BTU/hr), and deliver ultra-quiet operational performance (35 dBA or less).

At the core of the user interface is an 8-inch color touchscreen microprocessor controller providing intuitive operation, customizable display brightness, 0.1°C resolution (°C/°F switchable), and pinch-to-zoom real-time temperature graphing over 24-hour or 7-day intervals. Automated on-board data logging records cabinet temperature trends and timestamped alarm logs at customizable 5, 10, or 15-minute intervals, which can be exported via an integrated USB port in standard .csv or .pdf formats. System integrity and parameter configuration are secured by multi-tiered role-based password protection (User, Supervisor, and Admin PINs) with automatic inactivity logout functionality.

The cabinet is constructed of heavy-duty white powder-coated steel exterior insulated with high-density EPA-compliant foamed-in-place urethane foam. Equipped with a single full-height glass swing door (right hinged) featuring an integrated key lock, the unit allows rapid visual sample verification while ensuring physical security. Forced-air technology combined with a zero-energy cycle defrost system maintains outstanding thermal performance, delivering a tight cabinet uniformity of ±0.6°C, stability of ±0.6°C, and maximum temperature variation of ±0.9°C across an adjustable operating range of 1°C to 10°C (nominal set point 4°C), supported by a fast 55-minute pull-down time.

Emergency backup protection is supported by an integrated 12V high-capacity battery that keeps the touchscreen display, data acquisition (DAQ), event logging, and alarm alerts (door ajar, power loss, high/low temperature deviations with customizable delay and ring-back functions) fully active during power outages. Operating on eco-friendly, EPA SNAP-compliant R600a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant, this unit is ETL/cETL listed to UL 471 standards and is backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty plus a 7-year compressor parts warranty.

Features:

• Variable Speed Compressor (VSC) Efficiency: Hermetic VSC adjusts operating speeds (1300–4000 rpm) based on real-time cooling demand, providing low heat rejection (320 BTU/hr), minimal energy use (1.16 kWh/day), and ultra-quiet performance (≤35 dBA).
• Single Glass Swing Door Enclosure: Full-length glass swing door (right hinged) with key lock provides immediate visual inventory visibility while preserving access security.
• 8-Inch Color Touchscreen Interface: Advanced touchscreen controller featuring real-time temperature graphing, pinch-to-zoom/scroll navigation, customizable brightness, 0.1°C display resolution, and statistical summaries.
• Automated Data Logging & USB Export: Continuous temperature and alarm event logging at 5, 10, or 15-minute intervals, downloadable via the front USB port in .csv and .pdf formats.
• Multi-Tiered Access Security: Role-based password protection (User, Supervisor, and Admin PINs) with automatic inactivity logout to maintain operational compliance and security.
• Superior Thermal Performance: Forced-air circulation technology ensures exceptional cabinet uniformity of ±0.6°C and stability of ±0.6°C, with a fast 55-minute pull-down time to nominal operating temperature.
• Cycle-Optimized Zero-Energy Defrost: Automatic defrost cycle preserves thermal efficiency and prevents temperature spikes without consuming extra defrost energy.
• 12V High-Capacity Battery Backup: Maintains active touchscreen operation, DAQ monitoring, continuous data logging, and complete alarm system alerts during electrical outages.
• Versatile Interior Storage: Includes 5 adjustable shelves with rear guard rails, optional pull-out drawers, full-coverage shielded LED lighting, and a 3/4" rear-wall probe access port.
• Eco-Friendly R600a Hydrocarbon Refrigerant: Operates on natural, EPA SNAP-compliant R600a refrigerant. Backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty and a 7-year compressor parts warranty.
