VWR VWR-HCLS-12 Standard Series Glass Door  Laboratory Refrigerator, witch-Controlled LED Lighting, Swing Door, 12 cu. ft., Eco-Friendly R290 Refrigerant

The VWR Standard Series Glass Door Laboratory Refrigerator (VWR-HCLS-12) provides economical and highly reliable cold storage with outstanding product visibility for routine scientific and research workflows. Designed with a space-saving 12 cubic foot (340 L) capacity, this professional upright refrigerator is ideal for the daily storage of reagents, media, standards, and other temperature-sensitive scientific materials in shared academic, clinical, and industrial laboratories.

This high-performance refrigerator is equipped with a right-hinged, self-closing glass swing door that allows lab personnel to perform quick visual inventory checks without opening the door and letting cold air escape. A heavy-duty handle and a magnetic gasket ensure a positive, airtight seal every time.

Temperature control is managed by a precise microprocessor system, maintaining a highly stable, adjustable operating temperature range of 1°C to 10°C. An active forced-draft air circulation system guarantees superb cabinet-wide temperature uniformity and rapid recovery after door openings. For maximum monitoring accuracy, the refrigerator utilizes a dual-probe system with one probe measuring air temperature and another resting inside a sample bottle, with continuous simulated product temperature tracking shown on an external digital display.

To protect valuable laboratory inventory, the system is fully equipped with audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, along with remote alarm dry contacts for easy integration into your facility's central building management system. The interior is brightly illuminated by safety-shielded, switch-controlled LED lighting and organized with three white powder-coated steel wire shelves that are adjustable in 1/2" increments.

The unit features a durable, white powder-coated steel exterior and interior, supported by high-density urethane foam cabinet insulation. Running on eco-friendly, natural R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, it delivers outstanding energy efficiency and minimized global warming potential. Pre-installed swivel casters allow for quick, effortless physical relocation and cleaning behind the cabinet.
