VWR VWR-HC-SPLD-72-TS Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Solid Door Refrigerator Variable Speed Compressor, R290, 72 cu. ft.

VWR VWR-HC-SPLD-72-TS Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Solid Door Refrigerator Variable Speed Compressor, 8-Inch Color Touchscreen Interface,  R290, Multi-Tiered Access Security 72 cu. ft.

The VWR Premium Touchscreen Laboratory Solid Door Refrigerator (Catalog No: 77696-012 / Model: VWR-HC-SPLD-72-TS), supplied by VWR International, is a high-capacity 72 cubic foot (2039 L) cold storage solution engineered for demanding research, clinical, and pharmaceutical laboratory applications requiring light-shielded sample storage, precise thermal control, and digital data management. Powered by a hermetic Variable Speed Compressor (VSC) operating across a 1600–4000 rpm speed range, this unit dynamically self-adjusts to internal cooling demands to minimize energy consumption (2.02 kWh/day), lower heat rejection (625 BTU/hr), and deliver ultra-quiet operation (47 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 access is secured by multi-level password protection (User, Supervisor, and Admin roles) with automatic inactivity logout.

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 three full-height insulated solid swing doors (right and left hinged) featuring independent key locks, the unit provides maximum protection against ambient light degradation for sensitive compounds and ensures strict physical access control. Forced-air technology combined with a zero-energy cycle defrost system maintains outstanding thermal performance, delivering a tight cabinet uniformity of ±0.86°C, stability of ±0.61°C, and maximum temperature variation of ±1.15°C across an adjustable operating range of 1°C to 10°C (nominal set point 4°C).

Emergency backup is supported by a 12V high-capacity battery 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 R290 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 speeds between 1600 and 4000 rpm based on real-time cooling demand, providing low heat rejection (625 BTU/hr), low power consumption, and quiet performance (≤47 dBA).
• Insulated Triple Solid Door Enclosure: Three full-length solid swing doors with key locks deliver complete protection against light exposure for light-sensitive reagents and maximize access control.
• 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 ±0.86°C and stability of ±0.61°C, with a rapid 80-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.
• High-Capacity Interior Configuration: Features 15 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 R290 Hydrocarbon Refrigerant: Operates on natural, EPA SNAP-compliant R290 refrigerant. Backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty and a 7-year compressor parts warranty.
