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

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

The VWR Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Solid Door Refrigerator (Catalog No: 77696-008 / Model: VWR-HC-SPLD-23-TS), supplied by VWR International, is a high-performance 23 cubic foot (651 L) cold storage unit engineered for demanding research, clinical, and pharmaceutical laboratory environments requiring light-shielded sample storage, thermal control, and digital data logging. 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 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. Multi-tier password protection (User, Supervisor, and Admin roles) with automatic inactivity logout prevents unauthorized access and parameter changes.

The external cabinet is constructed of heavy-duty white powder-coated steel insulated with high-density EPA-compliant foamed-in-place urethane foam. Equipped with a single full-height insulated solid swing door (right hinged) featuring an integrated key lock, the unit provides maximum protection against ambient light exposure for light-sensitive compounds and ensures strict physical access control. Forced-air technology combined with a zero-energy cycle defrost system maintains exceptional 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), with a rapid 55-minute pull-down time.

Emergency protection is supported by a 12V high-capacity battery backup that keeps the touchscreen display, data acquisition (DAQ), event logging, and alarm alerts (door ajar, power failure, high/low temperature deviations with customizable delay and ring-back functions) 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 operation (≤35 dBA).
• Insulated Single Solid Door Enclosure: Full-length solid swing door (right hinged) with key lock delivers complete protection against ambient light exposure for light-sensitive reagents and maximizes sample 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.
