VWR VWR-HC-PLD-49-TS Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Glass Door Refrigerator Variable Speed Compressor, 49 cu. ft.

VWR VWR-HC-PLD-49-TS Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Glass Door Refrigerator Variable Speed Compressor, Multi-Level Security and Access Control R600a, Cycle-Optimized Zero-Energy Defrost, 49 cu. ft.

The VWR Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Glass Door Refrigerator (Catalog No: 77696-000 / Model: VWR-HC-PLD-49-TS), supplied by VWR International, is a high-capacity 49 cubic foot (1388 L) cold storage unit designed for critical biological, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratory applications requiring immediate visual access, thermal control, and digital data management. Powered by a hermetic Variable Speed Compressor (VSC) operating between 1300 and 4000 rpm, this system dynamically self-adjusts to cooling demands to minimize power consumption, accelerate pull-down times (70 minutes to nominal temperature), and deliver ultra-quiet operational performance (38 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. Data logging capabilities capture temperature trends and timestamped alarm logs at customizable 5, 10, or 15-minute intervals, which can be exported via an integrated USB port in .csv or .pdf formats. System integrity is safeguarded by multi-level password security (User, Supervisor, and Admin roles) with automatic logout functionality.

The cabinet is constructed with white powder-coated steel exterior and high-density EPA-compliant foamed-in-place urethane insulation. It features two full-height glass swing doors (right and left hinged) equipped with keyed locks for sample security and light shielding flexibility. Forced air directional refrigeration technology combined with a zero-energy cycle defrost system maintains outstanding thermal stability of ±1.0°C, thermal uniformity of ±1.2°C, and a maximum cabinet temperature variation of ±1.6°C across an adjustable operating range of 1°C to 10°C (nominal set point 4°C).

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

Features:

• Variable Speed Compressor (VSC) Technology: Hermetic VSC adjusts operating speeds (1300–4000 rpm) to dynamic cooling demands, delivering high energy efficiency, low heat rejection (465 BTU/hr), and quiet performance (≤38 dBA).
• 8-Inch Color Touchscreen Interface: Advanced touchscreen controller with real-time graphing, pinch-to-zoom/scroll navigation, customizable brightness, 0.1°C resolution, and 24-hour/7-day trend analysis.
• On-Board Data Logging & USB Export: Automated logging of temperature and alarm history at selectable 5, 10, or 15-minute intervals, exported directly via USB in ready-to-use .csv or .pdf formats.
• Multi-Level Security & Access Control: Features multi-tiered role-based password protection (User, Supervisor, Admin) with customizable PINs and automated inactivity logout.
• Exceptional Thermal Uniformity & Stability: Forced-air circulation technology ensures ±1.2°C cabinet uniformity and ±1.0°C stability with a rapid 70-minute pull-down time.
• Cycle-Optimized Zero-Energy Defrost: Smart defrost system maintains optimal cooling performance and prevents thermal spikes without drawing additional defrost energy.
• 12V Battery Backup & Advanced Alarm Suite: Keeps touchscreen, DAQ, logging, and audible/visual alarms (power failure, temp deviation, door ajar, low voltage) active during electrical outages.
• Double Glass Door Enclosure: Two full-length glass swing doors with key locks offer quick visual inventory access while preserving sample security.
• Versatile Interior Storage: Includes 10 adjustable shelves with rear guard rails, optional pull-out drawers, full-coverage shielded LED lighting, and a 3/4" rear probe access port.
• Eco-Friendly R600a & Extended Warranty: Operates on EPA SNAP-compliant R600a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant. Backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty and a 7-year compressor parts warranty.
