VWR VWR-VS-23S-TS Touchscreen Solid Door Laboratory Refrigerator, Advanced 8" Color Touchscreen, Multi-Level Security Access, Self-Closing, 23 cu. ft.

The VWR Touchscreen Solid Door Laboratory Refrigerator (VWR-VS-23S-TS) is engineered with advanced variable speed compressor technology and an elite digital monitoring system to deliver exceptional efficiency, performance, and temperature stability in clinical and research environments. With a generous 23 cubic foot (651 L) capacity, this single-door upright laboratory refrigerator provides highly secure and precise cold storage while maximizing workflow efficiency in busy lab settings.

Constructed for demanding laboratory use, the cabinet features a durable white powder-coated steel exterior. It is equipped with a single swing solid door that is self-closing, right-hinged, and non-reversible. The solid door design provides superior thermal insulation and opacity for light-sensitive material storage, reinforced by a positive magnetic gasket to prevent ambient heat infiltration. The entire cabinet structure is foamed-in-place with EPA-compliant, high-density urethane foam to ensure optimal thermal insulation. For security, a physical keyed access lock is standard (compatible with optional automated electronic digital locks such as Pyxis, Omnicell, and AcuDose RX) to safeguard sensitive or high-value laboratory contents.

The interior layout is optimized for efficient storage capacity and organized workflows. It features four adjustable shelves that can be repositioned in precise 1/2” increments to seamlessly accommodate varied sample sizes, media, or diagnostic kits. Switch-controlled interior LED lights are safety shielded to protect delicate materials from direct exposure. For mobility and easy placement, the refrigerator is mounted on sturdy swivel casters with locking front casters. A 3/4" probe access port is pre-drilled on the rear wall, allowing users to integrate independent validation probes or data loggers without altering the cabinet structure.

Thermal performance is managed by a precise microprocessor temperature controller utilizing an intuitive 8" color touchscreen interface. The system features variable frequency compressor control, switchable between Celsius and Fahrenheit with a fine 0.1°C / 0.2°F resolution, allowing for calibration adjustments to fine-tune temperature offsets. Operating within an adjustable range of 2°C to 15°C, the unit features patented airflow technology alongside a forced-draft circulation system that actively eliminates hot spots, providing an outstanding maximum cabinet air temperature variation of +/- 1°C. The automatic cycle defrost framework operates cleanly without compromising internal stability. A product simulator bottle filled with glass bead media houses the display probe to accurately represent actual sample-level temperatures.

The advanced 8" touchscreen interface provides extensive security features, including multi-level password protection with tailored roles for User, Supervisor, and Admin access. The display supports scrollable graphs, pinch-to-zoom data exploration, adjustable screen brightness, and real-time temperature comparisons to alarm points. A comprehensive system of customizable protective alarms delivers audible and visual alerts for high/low temperature shifts, sensor errors, power failures, and door ajar statuses. Users can customize alarm sounds, volumes, and set adjustable alarm delays to prevent nuisance alerts. A ring-back functionality re-engages the audible alert if the condition persists after a preset delay, while a silent mode offers visual persistence. A high-capacity 12V battery backup ensures uninterrupted temperature monitoring, data logging, and alarm display during power losses. The unit also features standard remote alarm contacts and a 4-20mA output for external monitoring integration.

Running on EPA SNAP-compliant R600a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant, this energy-efficient refrigerator minimizes your laboratory's carbon footprint while meeting or exceeding strict ENERGY STAR® v2.0 standards, consuming less than 1.5 KWh/day. It operates at an ultra-quiet noise pressure level of 40 dBA or less installed.
