VWR VWR-HCCS-72 Standard Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator, Twelve Adjustable Shelves, Swing Doors, 72 cu. ft., Advanced Hydrocarbon Detector

The VWR Standard Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator (VWR-HCCS-72) is an economical, high-performance, and exceptionally massive cold storage solution engineered specifically for stable temperature control and large-scale chromatography setups in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories. Featuring an outstanding 72 cubic foot (2039 L) capacity and extended vertical clearance, this specialized upright refrigerator easily accommodates multiple full-length chromatography columns, sensitive analytical instrumentation, and massive inventories of temperature-sensitive reagents.

Designed to streamline complex 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 three 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 at a glance 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 twelve 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).
