VWR VWR-HCCS-16 Standard Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator, Swing Door, 16 cu. ft., Specialized Chromatography Integration, High Mobility Casters

The VWR Standard Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator (VWR-HCCS-16) is an economical, high-performance solution engineered specifically for stable temperature control and chromatography setups in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories. With a highly functional 16 cubic foot (453 L) capacity and extended vertical clearance, this specialized upright refrigerator easily accommodates full-length chromatography columns, instrumentation, and sensitive biological samples.

Designed with chromatography workflows in mind, this unit features a built-in GFCI-protected duplex electrical outlet to power internal instruments safely, alongside an advanced hydrocarbon detector for enhanced laboratory safety. A dedicated 2" access port equipped with a spring-loaded, self-closing gasketed metal cover allows for the easy introduction of columns, lines, and external cabling without compromising internal temperature stability.

A right-hinged, self-closing glass swing door with a heavy-duty handle provides immediate visual monitoring of internal setups, drastically reducing unnecessary door openings. Complete security is assured via physical keyed door locks and a positive-seal magnetic door gasket. Inside, safety-shielded, switch-controlled LED lighting brightly illuminates the white powder-coated steel interior, which is configured with three wire shelves adjustable in 1/2" increments.

The refrigerator relies on a precise microprocessor controller maintaining an adjustable temperature range of 1°C to 10°C, shown on an external digital display. Backed by a high-efficiency forced-draft air circulation system, the cabinet maintains excellent temperature uniformity. A dual-probe system (one air probe and one sample bottle probe) tracks conditions accurately. Safety alarms include audible and visual high/low temperature warnings, plus remote alarm contacts for building integration.

This eco-friendly unit utilizes natural R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant to meet environmental standards and lower utility costs, supported by high-density urethane foam cabinet insulation.

Please Note: This specialized chromatography refrigerator requires two (2) separate electrical outlets for full operation (one for the refrigeration system and one for the internal GFCI duplex outlet).

Features:

• Specialized Chromatography Integration: Equipped with one internal GFCI-protected duplex electrical outlet and a 2" access port featuring a spring-loaded, self-closing gasketed metal cover for instrument cables and lines.
