VWR VWR-HCCS-49 Standard Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator, Cycle Defrost, Swing Doors, 49 cu. ft., Advanced Hydrocarbon Detector 

The VWR Standard Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator (VWR-HCCS-49) is an economical, high-performance, and exceptionally spacious cold storage solution engineered specifically for stable temperature control and chromatography setups in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories. Featuring a highly versatile 49 cubic foot (1388 L) capacity and extended vertical clearance, this specialized upright refrigerator easily accommodates full-length chromatography columns, sensitive instrumentation, and temperature-sensitive biological reagents.

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

The two right-hinged, self-closing glass swing doors feature heavy-duty door handles and positive-seal magnetic door gaskets, allowing laboratory personnel to quickly verify and monitor internal setups without opening the doors and causing unnecessary thermal loss. Complete security is assured with physical keyed door locks. Inside, safety-shielded, switch-controlled LED lighting brightly illuminates the white powder-coated steel interior, which is configured with eight heavy-duty wire shelves adjustable in 1/2" increments.

The refrigerator utilizes a precise microprocessor controller to maintain an adjustable operating temperature range of 1°C to 10°C, shown continuously on an external digital display. Backed by a high-efficiency forced-draft air circulation system, the cabinet maintains superb temperature uniformity and fast thermal recovery after openings. 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 runs on natural R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant to meet strict environmental standards and reduce 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).
