VWR VWR-HC-RFC12 Plus Series Laboratory Refrigerator Freezer Combo Unit Digital Display and Alarms, 12 cu. ft., Dual Defrost Systems, Independent Security and Probe Access
The VWR Plus Series Laboratory Refrigerator and Freezer Combination Unit (Catalog No: 76580-176 / Model: VWR-HC-RFC12), supplied by VWR International, is a premium dual-temperature cold storage solution engineered for scientific, clinical, and analytical laboratory environments requiring precise thermal control and dependable sample protection. Offering a total capacity of 12 cu. ft. (340 L / 10.5 cu. ft. Refrigerator and 1.7 cu. ft. Freezer), this multi-functional unit provides flexible dual-chamber storage within a space-saving upright footprint.
Thermal management and system safety are driven by independent Microprocessor Temperature Controllers paired with Digital Temperature Displays for both the refrigerator and freezer chambers. The refrigerator section maintains an adjustable operating temperature range of 1°C to 10°C with forced draft air circulation and automated cycle defrosting. The freezer compartment operates between -15°C and -25°C with manual defrost to eliminate temperature spikes during defrost cycles.
System integrity is continuously monitored in both chambers using dual sensing probes (1 air probe and 1 sample bottle probe per compartment) paired with audible and visual high/low temperature alarms and remote alarm contacts for facility integration. Every unit undergoes 100% temperature testing for certified quality assurance.
The cabinet features two independent right-hinged solid swing doors (non-reversible) with integrated handles, magnetic gaskets for a positive seal, and individual keyed door locks. Interior organization includes six adjustable shelves in the refrigerator and two adjustable shelves in the freezer—all equipped with rear guard rails to prevent items from contacting the back wall—along with bottom footed shelves in both chambers for optimized air circulation and switch-controlled interior LED lighting. Built with a white powder-coated exterior, the unit includes two 3/8" probe access ports (one per chamber), leveling legs, and a stacking kit. Operating on eco-friendly, HFC-free R600a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant, this unit is UL/C-UL listed and backed by a 2-year parts and labor warranty plus an additional 3-year compressor parts warranty.
