Laboratory refrigerators (2°C to 8°C) and laboratory freezers (-20°C to -50°C) ensure the controlled storage of temperature-sensitive substances in accordance with DIN 13277 — from reagents and chemicals to vaccines, medicines, and biological samples. The range includes volumes from 68 to over 1,400 litres in under-bench, standard, and double-door models, complemented by fridge-freezer combinations, chest freezers, and upright freezers down to -50°C. These units are used in pharmacies, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry, and research facilities — wherever legally required or quality-relevant storage temperatures must be consistently maintained.

Precise temperature control for sensitive materials

In scientific research, medical diagnostics, and many other fields, precise and reliable temperature control plays a central role. Laboratory refrigerators and freezers are essential devices specifically developed for the safe storage of temperature-sensitive materials such as samples, preparations, chemicals, medicines, and solutions.

Compliance with DIN 13277 is essential for the storage of medicines and samples in the pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology. Our laboratory refrigerators cover the range from 2°C to 8°C, while laboratory freezers and laboratory chest freezers ensure temperatures from -20°C down to -60°C. Features such as forced-air cooling and digital displays for monitoring temperature and humidity guarantee stable storage conditions.

Designs and capacities from 68 to 1,400 litres

Depending on the available space, various designs are available. Under-bench laboratory refrigerators with approximately 125 litres are suitable for limited areas, while double-door laboratory refrigerators and large units over 600 litres offer maximum storage capacity. For combined storage, fridge-freezer combinations are also available, which unite two separate temperature zones in one housing.

Monitoring and documentation with data loggers

For seamless quality assurance, the units can be equipped with USB data loggers or WLAN data loggers. These allow for continuous recording of temperature data. Additionally, systems for alarm forwarding offer extra security to react immediately to deviations, which is crucial for highly sensitive substances in research and diagnostics.

Unlike conventional refrigerators, laboratory refrigerators offer a range of specialised functions and options that make them indispensable for use in laboratories:

  • Constant internal temperatures: Through precise control and innovative cooling technologies, laboratory refrigerators ensure a constant internal temperature, which is essential for the reliability of research results and the shelf life of samples.
  • Variety of models: Whether a benchtop unit, under-bench refrigerator, or free-standing unit – the large selection of laboratory refrigerators allows for optimal adaptation to every laboratory size and space requirement.
  • Flexible storage options: Various capacities, dimensions, and adjustable shelves, compartments, or drawers offer flexible storage options for different materials and vessel sizes.
  • Additional functions: Many laboratory refrigerators feature additional functions such as alarm systems for temperature deviations, integrated data loggers for temperature monitoring, or access controls for the security of stored materials.

Frequently asked questions about laboratory refrigerators and freezers

Here you will find answers to important questions regarding the selection and operation of professional cooling and freezing solutions in the laboratory environment.

What are laboratory refrigerators and laboratory freezers used for?

These devices are used for the controlled storage of reagents, chemicals, vaccines, medicines, and biological samples while maintaining specific temperature ranges between 2°C and -60°C.

Which size is right for my laboratory?

The selection ranges from compact under-bench units with 68 litres to large floor-standing units with over 1,400 litres of volume, depending on the quantity of stored goods and the available floor space.

What does the DIN 13277 standard mean for storage?

DIN 13277 defines safety requirements and testing criteria for laboratory cooling and freezing devices to ensure constant temperature distribution and alarm reliability.

What is the advantage of models with forced-air cooling?

Forced-air cooling ensures rapid recovery of the set temperature after opening the door and guarantees homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the entire interior.

Which accessories are useful for temperature monitoring?

USB or WLAN data loggers for automatic documentation are useful, as are systems for alarm forwarding via potential-free contacts to report critical conditions immediately.

How can I obtain a quote for this equipment class?

Interested parties can request an exclusive quote for specific models from brands such as HAIER, GRAM, or MIDEA via the product list to ensure professional procurement.

How is the safety of stored samples ensured during operation?

The use of dual LED displays for temperature control, visual and acoustic alarms, and lockable doors increases the protection of sensitive samples in daily practice.

Why is DIN 13277 mentioned here instead of DIN 58345?

The former DIN 58345 was replaced on 01.05.2022 by the new DIN 13277, which has been expanded in content. The scope has been significantly increased: instead of only medicine refrigerators, DIN 13277 now also covers medicine refrigerators, blood bank refrigerators, plasma freezers, and cryogenic freezers. In terms of content, it requires stricter standards for temperature stability and alarm chains in the event of power failure, higher mechanical resilience, and more flexible setting options for environmental parameters such as humidity and CO2 concentration. Existing devices already certified according to DIN 58345 remain valid; new devices are tested and labelled according to DIN 13277.
