Laboratory refrigerators up to 400 L are used for the precise storage of samples and pharmaceutical products in clinics, pharmacies, and research laboratories. The range includes fan-assisted refrigerators with volumes between 218 and 346 litres, which ensure constant temperature control. Depending on requirements, models with glass doors for visual inspection or insulating solid doors are available.

Technical specifications of laboratory refrigerators up to 400 L

The units in this category feature high-performance forced-air cooling, which ensures homogeneous temperature distribution in the interior. Depending on the model, adjustable temperature ranges vary between +2 °C and +8 °C, +2 °C to +15 °C, or extended ranges up to +20 °C. Special versions such as the AXON MPC-5V316 are explicitly certified according to DIN 13277 for medication storage.

Designs and material variants

For the various requirements of daily laboratory life, housings made of white enamelled steel or robust stainless steel are available. While BioBasic models offer reliable basic protection, devices in the BioCompact II series feature advanced control systems. The interior can be individually adapted to sample quantities using height-adjustable shelves or stainless steel feet.

Safety functions and monitoring

To secure the cold chain, many laboratory refrigerators are equipped with a potential-free contact, which enables alarm forwarding to external systems. Monitoring can be supplemented by optional accessories such as USB data loggers or WLAN data loggers. Models with a glass door also allow visual inspection of the inventory without having to open the door and affect the internal temperature.

Frequently asked questions about laboratory refrigerators up to 400 L

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about the selection and operation of laboratory refrigerators in the 400-litre class.

What are laboratory refrigerators up to 400 L used for?

This device class is primarily used in laboratories, pharmacies, and clinics for the storage of temperature-sensitive reagents, samples, and medication that require a medium storage volume.

What role does DIN 13277 play for these devices?

DIN 13277 defines requirements for medication refrigerators, including temperature stability between +2 °C and +8 °C as well as alarm functions in the event of power failure or temperature deviations.

When is a glass door preferable to a solid door?

A glass door is useful when frequent visual checks of stored goods are necessary to minimise door opening times. Solid doors, on the other hand, often offer slightly better insulation against ambient heat.

What is the advantage of forced-air cooling in a laboratory refrigerator?

The forced-air system ensures rapid recovery of the set temperature after opening the door and prevents temperature gradients within the 218 to 346-litre interior.

What accessories are available for temperature monitoring?

For documentation and safety, USB data loggers, WLAN data loggers, or alarm forwarding systems can be integrated to prove compliance with storage conditions.

How do BioBasic and BioCompact models differ?

BioBasic models offer a solid basic configuration for standard applications, while BioCompact devices often feature more precise control, additional alarm options, and different housing materials.

How are the devices installed and positioned?

Many models are mounted on castors with brakes or have height-adjustable feet, which facilitates positioning and cleaning under the unit in laboratory rooms.
