VWR VWR-HCLS-72 Standard Series Glass Door Laboratory Refrigerator, Swing Doors, Dual Probe Temperature Monitoring, 72 cu. ft., Twelve Adjustable Shelves

The VWR Standard Series Glass Door Laboratory Refrigerator (VWR-HCLS-72) offers an exceptional combination of high-capacity storage, premium product visibility, and secure temperature tracking for high-volume clinical, scientific, and industrial laboratory workflows. Boasting a massive 72 cubic foot (2039 L) capacity, this three-door upright laboratory refrigerator is engineered for the daily storage of temperature-sensitive materials, including reagents, media, standards, and bulk samples where quick visual checks are essential.

This model is equipped with three right-hinged, self-closing glass swing doors designed to allow laboratory personnel to quickly verify and monitor internal inventory without opening the unit and causing unnecessary thermal instability. Heavy-duty door handles, integrated keyed locks, and magnetic door gaskets ensure a positive, airtight seal when closed.

An advanced microprocessor temperature controller maintains a highly stable, adjustable operating temperature range of 1°C to 10°C, which is continuously updated on an external digital temperature display. To ensure maximum tracking accuracy for critical samples, the refrigerator utilizes a dual-probe system—with one probe measuring air temperature and another resting inside a sample bottle—to continuously show simulated core product temperatures. A forced-draft air circulation system guarantees superb cabinet-wide temperature uniformity and rapid recovery times.

Safety, security, and compliance features include built-in audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, remote alarm dry contacts for connection to centralized facility monitoring systems, and safety-shielded, switch-controlled LED interior lights. The refrigerator 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.

Storage layout is highly customizable with twelve heavy-duty white wire shelves that can be adjusted in 1/2" increments, while pre-installed swivel casters allow for quick, effortless physical relocation and cleaning.
