Specialised laboratory cooling for medium volumes

In this category, professional users will find laboratory refrigerators up to 600 L designed for continuous operation in diagnostics and biotechnology. With volumes ranging from approximately 416 litres up to 600 litres, these units cover requirements where compact under-bench units are no longer sufficient. Manufacturers such as GRAM and AXON offer various series for this purpose, including BioMidi, BioPLUS, or BioCompact.

Technical features and safety functions

The units feature forced-air cooling, which ensures uniform temperature distribution throughout the interior. To monitor storage conditions, many models are equipped with a min-max memory and a remote alarm contact. A product protection programme prevents the freezing of sensitive samples, while digital control allows for exact adjustment of setpoints.

Standards and designs for professional use

For the storage of pharmaceuticals, units are available that comply with DIN 13277 and cover a temperature range of 2-8°C. Depending on requirements, one can choose between models with a glass door for quick inventory checks or solid doors. Housing variants in stainless steel or white lacquer, as well as stainless steel interiors, meet high hygiene requirements in sterile working environments.

Flexibility and ergonomics in the laboratory

The interior of the refrigerators can be flexibly configured using height-adjustable shelves or drawers. To ensure mobility within the laboratory, many units are mounted on castors, some with brakes for secure positioning. This also facilitates cleaning of the floor area and flexible placement of the units within workflows.

Frequently asked questions about laboratory refrigerators up to 600 L

Here you will find answers to important questions regarding the selection and operation of laboratory cooling units in this size class.

What are laboratory refrigerators up to 600 L used for?

This class of unit is used for the safe storage of samples, chemical reagents, and temperature-sensitive medication. They are primarily used in institutes, pharmacies, and hospital laboratories that require medium storage volume with high temperature stability.

What role does DIN 13277 play for these cooling units?

DIN 13277 defines requirements for medication refrigerators, particularly regarding alarms in the event of power failure or temperature deviations, as well as mechanical robustness. Units such as the AXON MPC-5V416 meet this standard for safe pharmaceutical storage.

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

A forced-air refrigerator uses fans to actively distribute cold air. This leads to faster recovery of the set temperature after opening the door and prevents temperature gradients within the 600-litre interior.

When is a laboratory refrigerator with a glass door useful?

Glass doors allow a view of the inventory without having to open the door. This reduces the number of door openings and preserves the temperature profile. For light-sensitive samples, however, a model with a solid door should be preferred.

What accessories are available for temperature monitoring?

For seamless documentation, external USB data loggers or Wi-Fi data loggers can be used. These supplement the internal min-max memory and enable legally compliant recording of the cold chain according to GMP guidelines.

How do stainless steel and white lacquered models differ?

Models with a stainless steel interior are particularly resistant to chemical cleaning agents and mechanical stress. White lacquered exterior surfaces are often more cost-effective, while stainless steel exterior housings offer higher corrosion resistance in aggressive environments.

How do I receive a quote for a 600-litre laboratory refrigerator?

You can request an individual quote for any model via the button in the shop. This is particularly recommended for projects with multiple units or specific configuration requests for the interior fittings.
